A Cat's Curse

This project if for my Junior Animation Seminar.

Working Title:
         A Cat’s Curse

Genre:
        Folk Tale

My inspiration is the fable tale of The Chinese Zodiac.


Outline:

       In the beginning, the scene will open up with an aerial view of a quaint little town. A poster will be hung up on a window in the middle of the town. The poster will read, Auditions for the Chinese Zodiacs. Looking upon the poster, the Rat will get all excited, jumping up and down, imagining himself as one of the animals to represent the new year. His friend the Cat, who also saw the poster, gets all excited as well. They both decide to celebrate so they go back home and have a toast (with sake). Both drink till they drop, dreaming of the day when they become part of the Chinese Zodiac. The Rat wakes up coincidentally; as he looks out the window he notices that it is already sunrise. Shocked, he rushes out the door, racing towards the temple to sign up as a Zodiac Animal. Unfortunately, the Rat was in such a hurry that he completely forgot to wake up his friend the Cat. The Rat becomes the first animal in the Chinese Zodiac cycle; he comes home to show his friend the Cat his certificate. However, the Cat is gone. Then. The Rat notices writing on his wall. The contents stop the Rat in his tracks; Rat will forever be cursed by Cats for rest of Life. Suddenly, the Rat is surrounded by cats. He manages to escape and hide in an alley. However, right behind him is the very Cat that he betrayed. Rat begs for forgiveness, but Cat does not want to hear it. In the end, Cat happily eats Rat.
