Inane Query Letter of the Week #17
After last week’s foray into the forest with the merciless epic query “Skinz”, I thought we were done with the cute ‘n cuddly set for a while here at Inane Query Letter central. That is, until I received this “family comedy” query early this week:
A desperate executive stumbles across a toy lion that really talks... but only to him.
Imagination runs wild when a toy lion takes over. May I please send my Family Comedy Feature Screenplay HUGGAROAR for your consideration? Here's the story:
Poor DANIEL FORRESTER. His greedy boss STANLEY blocks his career. His wife, BRIDGET, is frustrated by his dreams of success. And his son, KENNY, hides in a world of video games. Daniel takes Kenny to a trade show in search of the next hot seller. While Kenny wins a lion figure from an entrepreneur who strangely resembles an African tribal mystic, Daniel is cheated out of everything through a foolish wager.
Daniel's future seems bleak... until HUGGAROAR leaps into his life! The plush lion action figure wisecracks a mile a minute... and runs even faster. Fascinated by the suburban world, HuggaRoar attacks his new surroundings with all the energy of an uncaged beast... unless someone other than Daniel happens to be watching.
It's all Daniel can do to get the lion down to his office. The toy company's president puts Daniel in charge of developing a full line and orders a field test for HuggaRoar using Kenny. Furious at being undermined, Stanley forms an alliance with tyrannical video game maker EUGENE NASH to obliterate this threat to his takeover plans.
HuggaRoar's rambunctious antics nearly destroy the Forrester's home. After a bitter argument, HuggaRoar stalks out, only to have his secret discovered by Kenny, who's running away because he's been grounded. The pair take off together, and after a wild chase through the streets of San Francisco, they're snatched by Nash's henchman.
In a frantic search for their son, Daniel and Bridget discover Nash's diabolical plot to use video games to train the next generation of soldiers. With the help of all the HuggaBunch characters, they save Kenny from becoming a military drone, rescue their marriage and send Daniel's career soaring to the next level. In the end, fulfilling the lion's promise, HuggaRoar guides the true believer right to where he belongs.
In addition to creating two optioned scripts, I've earned Semi-Finalist status in the Nicholl Fellowships and placed four scripts as Semi-Finalists in the Carl Sautter Screenwriting Competition. I'm also the author of a published fantasy/comedy novel.
HUGGAROAR, is available now for your consideration. E-mail me at: pksilverson@hotmail.com . Please include your submission address information, and I'll send you a copy of this completed feature screenplay right away.
Thank you in advance for your interest in this project.
