SEQUENCE 1.

FADE IN:

1_01_01 EXT. WINKIE COUNTRY OF OZ - SUNSET

Spread out on the rolling hills and manicured valleys is a WINKIE VILLAGE.

1_01_02 A herd of spotted cows graze in a lush meadow. A CART piled high with HAY and drawn by an OSTRICH goes by.

Ad lib mutters and asides from the various FOLK present.

1_01_03 WOOT'S MAMA is a plump, appealing, apple-cheeked little woman in an apron, her hair tied up in a bun. She waves, smiling, after her OS son.

WOOT (OS) Bye Momma!

1_01_04 WOOT waves, walks away.

1_01_06 WOOT grabs a battered shovel leaning against the side of a building.

1_01_12 WOOT bounces along, scattering ducks.

"I Wanna Be An Adventurer" song starts.

1_01_10 WOOT'S bouncing scatters indignant neighbors.

1_01_09 RABBIT pops out from behind a tree: watches, listens to the OS sounds of WOOT'S progress, wiggles its whiskers.

1_01_13 Startled COW looks up, eyes wide.

1_01_14 WOOT approaches, still bouncing on the shovel. The COW attempts to walk away, increase its pace as WOOT get's nearer and nearer. COW begins a frantic walk.

1_01_15 WOOT launches off the shovel, flies through the air, lands on COW'S back. COW begins running. WOOT clings to it: the wind whips through his hair and clothes; his eyes are closed in rapture.

1_01_17 WOOT stands on the back of the cow.

1_01_18 The CART is ahead.

1_01_19 WOOT leaps.

1_01_20 WOOT lands in the haystack in the back of the CART.

1_01_21 WOOT laughs delightedly.

FARMHAND chases cart trying to catch it.

1_01_22 WOOT falls over in the hay.

1_01_23 WINKIES watch.

1_01_24 WOOT laughs. He looks up... Rubs his hands together.

1_01_25 There's a tree on the patch, a thick LIMB overhangs the road.

1_01_26 WOOT leaps, grabs a hold of the LIMB, spins around it.

1_01_27 WOOT perches on the LIMB, wobbly. He waves at the cart.

1_01_28 The CART rumbles on its way.

1_01_29 SONG ends.

The sound of the cart fades. WOOT sighs, satisfied. His eyes catch sight of something poking just above the clouds - way in the distance.

1_01_30a WOOT jumps to the ground.

1_01_30c WOOT sets off toward to investigate. RABBIT hops out of the brush, looks at WOOT a moment, then hops off after him.

1_01_30 EXT. TIN CASTLE - SUNSET

It gleams in the setting sun.

1_01_33 WOOT walks facing into the TIN CASTLE. RABBIT follows.
