by Tom and Jerry Patterson

"A great family movie yet unmade."
To tell you about this script, we quote Catherine Duncan, the judge in a Final Draft International Screenwriting Competition who rated it excellent or very good in every category, and tried to sell a later draft to DreamWorks. She said, "The forest creatures and their champion, Joseph, band together to stop a housing development in Minnesota. This was such fun to read. The revenge of the animals and the Indian cultural overlay of the story were wonderful. This is such a simple idea, but told in a very appealing way. The characters are terrific … The villains are perfect … And using Jesse Ventura is a great idea. The choices of animals and their behaviors are excellent.”
