We received a copy of Donkey Ollie at my 3 year old son's preschool a few days ago and he LOVES it! It is great to have some positive biblically based entertainment for him. Thanks so much, we are looking forward to more of Donkey Ollie in the future!

Dear Distribution,
My kids recently received a copy of Donkey Ollie and they ABSOLUTELY love it – very catchy music and great stories! I emailed the link to your website to the Director of Children’s Ministry at our church, ... interested in ordering some! Thank you for your response!
Sincerely,
Debbie

Hi,
we just received your package with copies of the movie Donkey Ollie in it and we had all the kids watch it and it was a huge hit! We wanted to know if we could get additional copies so that each child would be able to have one in their “Back to School” bag they get when school starts! We have about 200 kids in our preschool! If that is to many to send, please send what you can!
Thank you!
April

The African Adventure

NARRATOR

Welcome back everybody. Since Donkey OLLIE and his brothers have returned from the Coliseum in Rome having been rescued by Jehu , Prince Ramses and Alondra they been busy helping to turn a big part of Farmer John’s grazing area into a retirement recreation area for all the retired farm animals in their area.

Donkey Ollie tips over the basket of stones onto the ground he looks over to his brother Jeremy

DONKEY OLLIE

Hey Jeremy, I’m going over to the brook to get a drink want to come along

DONKEY JEREMY

No you just go ahead I’m going to gather more stones over for this last section. Isa and Esau have been playing a little too much and we’ve fallen behind.

NARRATOR

DONKEY OLLIE walks down to the creek bed
There are four very pretty female donkeys drinking leisurely from the brook

DONKEY OLLIE

You all don’t mind if I join you for a drink do you.

RUTHY

No of course not help yourself.

DONKEY OLLIE
Hi I’m OLLIE are you all new around here.

RUTHY

NO not that new we all moved in while you were away. I’m Ruthy we all
Work for Isaac and we helped their whole family move here from Jerusalem. Isaac is a very important many he is a Levite and served for many years in the temple

DONKEY OLLIE

I’m Donkey Ollie

Libby

My name is Libby

Dorca

I’m Dorca

EBO

I’m Ebo.

Donkey OLLIE

Ebo that a pretty funny sounding name?

EBO

Well it may sound pretty funny but at least I’ve got some color in my fur you look like abig shaved lamb.

RUTHY
(Frowns at Ebo’s rude comment.)

That was uncalled for Ebo.

OLLIE

Well I assure you I’m a donkey just like you certainly not a lamb.

(He finishes up his drink of water sneeking another glance at RUTHY.)

You all have a good afternoon.(He winks at RUTHY) Maybe I’ll see you later

RUTHY

Well you come back anytime. We come down here every afternoon for drinks.

As OLLIE leaves EBO squirts water at RUTHY

EBO

Why you’re sweet on him little sister. But your fur’s much too dark for him
Why if you ever married him think of what funny little foals you’d have people would probably think they were zebras.

RUTHY

Well they’d be awful cute little zebras. I sure wouldn’t mind getting married to someone as nice as him. You didn’t even ruffle his fur when you were mean to him.

I could marry a big Brown Donkey
With no kindness at all
And I’m sure I’d be so sorry
Even though he’d be so tall

Id much rather find a mate that’s sweet
Than just one quick on his feet
Id much rather find a mate that‘s nice
Than one with a heart of ice.

I could marry someone like OLLIE
With a heart made of pure gold
Maybe my dreams will come true
Only God will know for sure.

NARRATOR

That week the donkeys worked hard and helped Farmer John, Abner, Jehu and the rest of the crew bringing down stones to finish the wall for the animal retirement pasture

Right before Sabbath OLLIE decided to go back down to the brook to see if he could spend time with RUTHY . She had caught his eye.

He was surprised not to see here there.

OLLIE

(looking down)

Why these look like her hoof prints but I wonder what made her wander off so.
It’s getting late I’d better see if I can find her. She doesn’t know how dangerous it can be out here.

RUTHY

(is caught in a bramble bush)

Oh it’s no use. I’ll never find my way back. I shouldn’t have gone off alone exploring. Oh Oh (She pulls her legs out of the bush.) These thorns are hurting me.

Can anyone hear me. Help I’m lost.

Overhead Shot a wily mountain lion is watching her progress. He stealthily sneaks down the narrow canyon path to get a perch above her.

OLLIE

(reacts to her baying) That sound’s like her. She must have gotten herself lost.

Wait right there. It’s getting dark and I can’t see very good.

POV OLLIE can see the silhouette of the mountain lion perched overhead.

RUTHY RUTHY Come towards me. You’re being stalked get away from the canyon Wall into the riverbed quick.

RUTHY

I’m stuck these thorns hurt.. Its too hard to get loose. I should have never wandered off without telling anyone where I was going.

OLLIE (launches himself with all his might to the path right besides RUTHY placing himself in between her and the mountain lion who has pounced at the same time.)

OLLIE (Pushes her out of the brambles with his snout)

Jump RUTHY Jump. I’ll handle this fellow

RUTHY jumps from the path down into the stream and the mountain lion chases OLLIE.; He rolls on his back and meets the full force of the attack with his hooves in the air . He launches the lion into the air and it lands with a thud and is knocked unconscious. RUTHY walks up from the stream and sees OLLIE standing over the stunned mountain lion.

RUTHY

Is he dead?

OLLIE

No just stunned. Hopefully he won’t hurt anybody else for a long long time.
Are you OK.

RUTHY

Just a little scared that’s all. You are the bravest donkey I’ve ever met. If you hadn’t come along….I would have been really hurt that lion had sharp teeth.

DON’T LOOK AT ME

Don’t look at me
My strength is in the Lord
My power comes from God on high
His word has been my sword

Don’t look at me
My wisdom’s not my own
When I’m confused without a plan
He guides me through the storm

He the waymaker
For the journey he’s the path
The gatekeeper
The whole world is in his hand
The shepherd of my soul
Guardian of my fate
Alpha and Omega
Jesus Christ shows me the way

Don’t look at me
I’m no so different from the rest
I’m only standing where I am
He’s helped me pass each test

Don’t look at me
Beyond the stars you’ll find the proof
God’s alive and satisfies
Our need to find the truth.

RUTHY

Thanks Ollie that was nice. Still I’ll always be indebted to you for saving my life.

OLLIE

Come on Ruthy it was nothing. When he jumped I just rolled over and used my hoofs to kick him. Look the moon’s out come-on I’ll help you get back to your farm.

NARRATOR

Later a very tired OLLIE comes into the stall and plops down.

RUPERT

Well there you are. It’s about time. I’ve been waiting for you all night.
What took you so long the other’s have been back over two hours.

OLLIE

Oh hi Rupert. I’m sorry I’m late.

RUPERT

Did you forget.

OLLIE

Forget what

RUPERT

Forget what ? Can’t you donkeys remember anything. Our trip to visit Muwanna Hannibal and Theolonius. You said after you helped Farmer John with the wall we’d be taking off. Well as far as I can see it’s almost done. I’m getting restless around here. I’m ready for another adventure

OLLIE

Adventure. I ‘m not so sure

RUPERT

Ollie not so sure. You just can’t expect me to fly off by myself to Africa Who knows I might get eaten by a vulture

OLLIE

Rupert They only eat things that are dead They’d have no trouble telling that your alive. It’s something else

RUPERT

Something else tell me. Or do I have to burst my feather’s here waiting to hear about it.

OLLIE

I met someone. You know someone special and you know Jehu has Allondra Elizabeth has Abner and I thought….

RUPERT

Well settle down Ollie. There’s places to go, things to do you can’t go getting yourself hitched

What about me
What will happen to me
If you go and get yourself married
What will happen to me

You know what they all say
Two is company three’s a crowd
What will happen to our friendship
When your hearts up on a cloud

OLLIE

Don’t worry about our friendship
I’ got a place for you in my heart
But something happened to me
When I looked into her eyes

They were blue like the water
They made my knees so weak
I found myself at loss for words
I couldn’t hardly speak
I think Im going to get married
I think I’ve found my mate
I can’t say how I know for sure
But I’m sure it’s more than fate.

OLLIE

Do you think you can keep it a secret.

RUPERT

A secret sure you can count on me I won’t tell a soul

OLLIE

Good. It’s going to take me sometime to find the right words.

Rupert flies off.

He spots Ollie brothers down by the water.

RUPERT

Isa, Esau, Jeremy. Have you heard the news?

ISA

What news. We never get any news here.

RUPERT

The secret. Ollie’s getting married

JEREMY
The secret isn’t that something you’re not supposed to share.

RUPERT

I thought a secret was something that was real important

ISA

Yea it’s important to the person who doesn’t want you to share it.

ESAU

I know who he’s sweet on that little donkey who lives on Isaacs farm.

RUPERT

Yep, Hey you guys got to help me spread the secret.

ISA

Sure we’ll help you spread it.Imagine that Ollie getting married and I thought for sure I’d be getting married. I’m much more handsome than Ollie

ESAU

I’m much stronger than Ollie I’ve got a great idea. There three more sisters right

JEREMY

Yea there’s four all together why?

ESA

Why don’t we ask the other three to marry us too. That way we’ll all have a secret.

ISA
Why not if Ollie can get married we can get married too.

ISA jumps in the air clicking his heels. I’m a gonna be a dad.

` ESAU

Your not going to be a dad your going to be a husband and then maybe later a dad.

ISA

What ever. It’s all good.

Ruthy, Ebo, Dorca and Libby all wander down to the stream. They look up and they see ISA ESAU and JEREMY staring over at them.

EBO

I don’t see your little white donkey Ollie.

LIBBY

No but that brother of his over there is sure cute

DORCA

I hope your not looking at the same one I’m a looking at.

EBO

They’re all cute.

RUTHY

Something tells me he’ll be along shortly.

Ruthy leaves them all and wanders over to a pool besides the stream where she gets in and rolls in the water.

OLLIE

Hi Ruthy.

He surprises her and water is dripping down her face and mane. She is not too thrilled to be caught not looking her best.

RUTHY
(Shakes the water off and gets out.)

I was just cooling myself off. I thought you’d be along.

OLLIE

How’d you’d know that.

RUTHY

Call it intuition anyway. Thanks again for saving my hide from that mountain lion. It would have been a dreadful way to go.

OLLIE

Well I was wondering if you’d like to share a stall with me.

RUTHY

A stall. Well. I have a stall of my own at Isaacs it quite nice…

OLLIE

I guess the words are not coming out right. Ever since I saw you I haven’t been able to get you out of my head. I am really hoping that you’d marry me.

Ollie picks up a small bouquet of flowers and drops them at her feet.

RUTHY

Marry you.

She runs around in a circle

Marry you

Marry you
There is nothing that I’d rather do.

Marry you
Marry you
I will

i could wish upon a star
For someone to share my heart
And if you want me for your wife
I will take my heart’s advice

I’ll marry you
Marry you
Marry you forever

Marry you
Marry you
We will be together.

In pastures green and warm
We’ll walk our heads together
At night we’ll both be warm
No matter what the weather.

Marry you

Marry you

Marry you I will

She dances off leaving Ollie rather stunned.

RUPERT

Hey Ollie I couldn’t help overhearing let me be the first to give my congratulations. I’m gonna get word to Paul and Timothy. This is going to be a real party. Hey your not the only one getting hitched.

OLLIE

No what do you mean

RUPERT

Your brother are want to marry Ruthy;s sisters Four brides for four brothers its gonna be a hoot.

OLLIE

How’d they find out my secret.

RUPERT

As he flies off)

I told them silly and now they’re telling everyone Gotta go share your secret some more.

Exterior BETHANY FARMYARD DAY

Jehus is washing Ollie next to a big tub of water.

JEHU
Holds still Ollie I’ve got to get that lavender soap out of your eyes or it’s gonna look like you were crying.

OLLIE

Ouch that soap really hurts. Do I really need to be that clean can’t I go Au natural.

JEHU

It’ll make lyou smell good so Stop being a baby. (Throws the rest of the water over him) There that should do it. I’ll get Elizabeth to give you a nice brushing.

OLLIE

I wish my friend Jesus were here if he could see me know I know he’d be proud

JEHU

I am sure he is proud of you anyway he is here with us in Spirit and Paul’s coming Rupert must have gotten work to him Two years he has been away in Corinth

RUPERT

I heard you talking about me. I hope you’ve got some sesame seed snacks for the guests.

JEHU

Alondra has cooked up a royal feast. Let me assure you.

RUPERT

Good Smoothfeather is bring a lot of friends and you know how much seagulls like to eat. The only time they stop eating is when they breathe. By the way are you coming on the honeymoon with us?

JEHU

Us who’s us?. The honeymoons supposed to be for the bride and the bridegroom who is us.

RUPERT

I’m the best man. I’m going too. I already asked Ruthy she doesn’t mind if I go to Africa with them

JEHU

Africa Alondra would have my head if I left for Africa you are keeping your Promise to Hannibal and Theopolis aren’t you.

RUPERT

Yea, it’s important when you give your word to keep your word.

Plus why would I want to be away from my friends.

It’S NO FUN TO LIVE YOUR LIFE
Away from all your friends
Sharing great adventures
Is where it all begins
Chasing rainbows
Falling stars uncovering ancient lore
We’re on our way to Africa
A continent to explore

JEHU

I sure wish I could go too, but with the new little ones they need someone to look after them.

ELIZABETH

Hold still Ollie, This is going to be a special day for you I want to make sure you look your best. So let me get everything untangled.

Ollie

Why is it so painful to look your best

ELZABETH

Nothing worthwhile is easy Ollie you know that.

ELIZABETH’S SONG

For everything
There’s a price to pay

There’s a price to pay for sure

To be your best
There’s a price to pay
If you want your heart to sour

The path it grows so narrow
As you reach the highest ground
You’ll find just what your made of

EXTERIOR BARNYARD WEDDING DAY

PAUL

Let us welcome the bride and groom. This day let us celebrate the lifetime union of my beloved friend Donkey Ollie and Ruthie. This day also ISA and Ebo, Esau and Libby and Jeremy and Dorca will be joining their hearts.

The camera pans as all the donkey couples nuzzle together.

As the music starts they begin to dance together

It’s a donkey donkey wedding
Everybody get down
A donkey Donkey wedding
Come on now gather around

They waited for the right time
To walk the same path
They’ll be stronger together
They will make it last

Cause it’s a donkey donkey wedding
Everybody get down
A donkey donkey wedding
Swing your tail party on.

SMOOTHFEATHER

RUPERT

Africa has got everything it’s one the the biggest continents in the world the very cradle of civilization.. I am sure they will have lots of fish. I’m bringing a bunch of sesame seeds with me.

SMOOTHFEATHER

Well OK then I’ll go.

NARRATOR the next day Donkey Ollie outfitted with provision for his traveling group got up early to leave for Africa. They were planning on stopping to see Hannibal nad Theolonius first.

EXTERIOR FARM DAY

Ollie and Ruthy smiles as they pass the throng of well wishers. Everyone is kissing the.

AUNT ALANA

(Visually older with grey hair)

We’ll Ollie remember God will use anyone with a pure heart.

OLLIE
Stop to pay her homage.

Thanks Aunt Alana I will remember. Well prya for us it’s not going to be an easy journey

RUPERT

Yea, We don’t even know where we are going to stop for sesame seeds.

JEHU

Ollie sorry I won’t be going with you this trip your on your own…. Well not really.

OLLIE

I’ve learned a lot from you Jehu I am sure we’ll be fine We did give our word to go and visit our friends

OLLIE’s Song

It’s gonna be a long long road
I’m gonna have to bear my load
But if my feet get tired and weary
I know I’ll be Ok

It’s gonna be a risky trip
Troubles will come so swift
But if I keep on looking forward
It’s gonna be OK

Cause there’s a rainbow before me
And there are stars in the sky
And if I lose my way
All I got to do is cry

There a God above me
Who will help me out
No matter what the problem
\ It will be alright

It’s gonna be a long hot trip
Sandstorms and a lot of grit
But if we all stay to together
We’lll come out strong

It’s gonna be a rocky road
Though places that are quite unknown
The stars will guide
There always there

Cause there’s a rainbow before me
And there are stars in the sky
And if I lose my way
All I got to do is cry

There a God above me
Who will help me out
No matter what the problem
\ It will be alright

Several days pass as the small group goes through sandstorm rocky mountains
And travels both day and night until they look down on a fertile valley and a body of water.

RUPERT

That must be the Red Sea where Moses crossed

RUTHY

Oh Rupert you are so smart you know everything

OLLIE

Now Hold on. How do you know we want to cross here.

SMOOTHFEATHER

This is the only place to cross
I went down further south and it’s even wider Beside there is a barge surely we can get the man to take us across.

RUPERT

We’ll I’ll go and make a deal

OLLIE

What kind of a deal?

RUPERT

Well Smoothfeather and I can fly but you two your gonna need a ride
There’s alligators and they have big teeth.

RUTHY

How big??/

RUPERT

Really big and sharp. Don’t worry though the river man will take us across

EXTERIOR RIVER CAMP DAY

OLLIE RUTHY SMOOTHFEATHER AND RUPERT are standing in front of a rough river pilot.

Their sacks are sitting on the ground in front of the River pilot

YASIR

There’s not much here these barges are expensive to operate. I just can’t work for free. Is this all you have.

OLLIE

You’ve got to leave us something. How are we going to eat.

YASIR

Look if you want to swim go ahead. But this grain is barely enough to earn yous passage across. Things are expensive here in Africa you can’t expect to travel the world for free.

RUPERT

Look Ollie he’s got us over a barrel He knows there’s no other way across we’ve got to take his deal.

RIVER SONG

Take my deal
Little friends
Or you’ll swim with the fish
And the Croc’s will surely get you
In the end

Take a rest
Don’t complain
There will surely be no pain
If you ride across the sea
With your friend

I’m the best
That there is
Far underpaid for my skills
But I always get my money
For the fare

This barge is so safe
Even hippos clear the way
You’ll be there before you know it
With your friends

EXTERIOR AFRICA SIDE DAY

There are a lot of trees and vines it is somewhat jungly.

YASIR

Well you are here(He laughs) Thank you so much for the grain. I am sure you will find plenty of food. I caution you though. Beware of the baboons.

REACTION SHOT: Everyone looks at each other puzzled.

OLLIE

(To RUTHY) What do you suppose he meant beware of the baboons.

RUPERT (INTERRUPTS)

I don’t know I’ve never met a baboon.

In the background you can hear howler monkeys.

SMOOTHFEATHER

Let’s see if we can get out of this jungle before night or we’ll have to wory about more than baboon.s

EXTERIOR JUNGLE DAY

A Strange looking King is riding on HANNIBAL a huge elephant. They have a carried on top.

A CLOSER LOOK REVEALS there are chains on his legs

IN BACK of the king are baboons all dressed in little vests several are carrying nets and prodding hooks.

A smaller Elephant is pulling several cages full of monkeys and one with a tiger in it.

KING

BWANA

Move it quickly we need to get these animals back to the castle before nightfall.
Get those animals in the cages

EXTERIOR JUNGLE DAY

SEVERAL BABOONS wrestle a huge black jaguar into the cat cage he snarls at the leopard walks around and settles down.

MUMUMU the smaller elephant comes up alongside HANNIBAL and they wait the animals being loaded in the cages behind them

MUMUMU

I don’t like these wild animals Hannibal

HANNIBAL

No one would little buddy. But I wont let anything happen to you.

MUMUMU

It’s impossible to escape they have us a chained and the baboons never let us out of their sight. We should have never gone looking for Theopolis.

HANNIBAL

Yea we promised though to all get together. It may seem like a mistake now but it is never wrong to try to keep your promises.
Besides, We’ve been in tough situations before little buddy but things will work out for us, We have friends and they’ll come looking for us.

MUMUMU

You mean Ollie Rupert and Smoothfeather. We haven’t seen them in months.
They probably don’t even know we’re here.

HANNIBAL

They’ll find out I’m sure.

On the way back through the jungle

MUMUMU’s Song

Rescue me
When you see me cry
And my heart has died
Rescue me

Rescue me
Our legs are chained
We can’t escape the pain
Rescue me

Rescue me
When the path is hard
And I can’t go on
Rescue me

Rescue me
From these big baboons
With their big big teeth
Rescue Me.

Rescue me
From this evil throne
And his heart of stone
Rescue me

EXTERIOR

A CASTLE SITS AT THE TOP OF A MOUNTAINTHERE IS A STONE PATHWAY TO IT ARCHING OVER A DEEP GULLY

The procession makes it way across.

Overhead vultures fly.

HANNIBAL (Speak to Mumumu)

Don’t you worry a bit little brother. God will find a way to bring us out of here.

MUMUMU

I Sure hope so Uncle Hannibal.

EXTERIOR DESERT DAY

OLLIE and RUTHY are struggling with thirst.

OLLIE

Are you OK RUTHY. I guess this isn’t the greatest honeymoon

RUTHY

We’ll get through Ollie. I’m confident.

RUPERT and Smoothfeather are flying overhead they both swoop down.

SMOOTHFEATHER

You two look pretty tired

RUPERT

Yea too bad you hadto be land creatures. It’s really beautiful up there.

OLLIE

Did you see any elephant herds or lion dens. I guess we should have made better plans on where to meet up with our friends

SMOOTHFEATHER

Just over those hills is a big savanna with a stream and lots and lots of
Herds There are elephants there.

RUTHY

Over those hills. (She indicates to some far off hills with her head0

That looks really far.

RUPERT

It’s not so far just think lots of water and grass zebras, gazelles elephants.

OLLIE

There’s gonna be cheetah and lions there too. We’re going to have to be real careful

SMOOTHFEATHER

We’ll keep a good lookout for you. Surely the elephants will know where
Hannibal is.

Group Song

We’re off to find our friends

We don’t know where they are

We try to ask around

We hope they aren’t too far

We’re off to the riverbed

Where danger lurks and more

We’ll keep a watchful eye

And keep our wits for sure

We were born

For adventure

We were born

For discovery

When our friends

Are in trouble

We can say

Depend on me

A cheetah in the grass

Is very hard to see

Unless your sitting high

Up in a Bambon tree.

A lioness with her cubs

Goes for the surprise

You’ve got to use your wits

You’ve got to use your eyes.

EXTERIOR RIVERSIDE DAY

RUPERT FLIES ON TO AN ELEPHANT’s HEAD

RUPERT

Hey Friend. Do you an elephant named Hannibal

Several other elephants look up

BROWN ELEPHANT
That guy doesn’t know anything. He can’t even hear you But me
I know Hannibal and his little nephew. Last time I talked to him he was
Heading up to the hills to look for the rest of the herb each week more and more of us are missing and he is trying to find out what happened. He’s headed through lion territory and no one wated to go with him. Can you blame us none of us here wanted anything to do with lions. Nothing personal but you got to watch who you hang out with some people are just dangerous.

OLLIE

I don’t blame you although some lions can be nice. If your friends with them.

BROWN

Straight ahead we were hoping they’d be back.

We’ve been hanging out here a while waiting for them but we’re going to have to move on. If we don’t we’ll just strip all these trees bare and then they’ll be nothing for anyone to eat.

OLLIE

Which way do we go.

BROWN

Just follow this river up to the hills That’s the way they went Once you get to the rocks be careful You never know what’s behind one.

EXTERIOR RIVERSIDE NIGHT

SMOOTHFEATHER

(Riding on Ruthy’s back0

We should stop here Ollie. There’s water and grass and plenty of fish for me. It wont do any good walking anymore at night. We’re not going to be able to see anything

OLLIE

Are you tired Ruthy?

RUTHY

If you want me to keep going I will

RUPERT

Let’s just stop I’m tired too.

They all pulled to a stop in a densely jungle area. Around them they could hear the cries of the noctural animals and above their head Rupert watched as a giant snake curled around a branch. Ruthy fell asleep with her head on Ollie stomach as Ollie looked about with a watchful eye for danger.

EXTERIOR DAY JUNGLE

The camera pans over head and reveals that they are only about a few hundred yards away from Hannibal and Mumumu

Camera flies in on Hannibal squirting Mumumu with water.

HANNIBAL

Come on little buddy drink up you don’t know when we will get to see water again.

MUMUMU

I’m not even thirsty If we cant find the rest of the herd how will anyone find us if something happens

HANNIBAL

God will help us if we ask him and he’ll help so don’t worry lets just do our part and let him do his.

God Helps those
Who help themselves
And God helps those
Who cant

God likes it best
When we walk by faith
He doesn’t want us
To complain

God on the side
Of right not wrong
No matter what
the cause

He wants the world
To run just so
And not disobey
His laws

It’s a sunny day
And the Weather’s good
We’ll find our friend
Real Soon

It’s a sunny day
Yes I’m feeling good
Let’s forge ahead
Right Now

They continue their walk through the jungle singing and having a great time oblivious to the baboons dressed in little red vests and red caps who are lurking about around them,

As they approach a narrow passageway from the jungle to the higher ground the baboons jump down and tie MUMUMU up with nets and ropes.

MUMUMU

Hannibal Hannibal, Help me.

Hannibal rushes up to help his but the baboons grab on his ears and start swinging and several wrap ropes and chains around his neck and trip him. They tie him and pin him to the ground like Gulliver in Lilliputian land.

Hannibal watches helplessly as the baboons lead off his nephew.

HANNIBAL

These ropes there’s too many of them. I can’t get up.

The sun sets with Hannibal tied up. In the background a pride of lions come up and sniff around Hannibal. There eyes are very bright.

LION ONE

I’d like to take a bite out of this one.

How about about you. (He addresses the female)

LION TWO

It hardly seems fair. I doesn’t even look like he can move

Lion three

Wonder what he’s doing so far from his herd. There’s been a lot of elephant traffic through here lately

Hannibal struggles to get the rope off from his mouth and trunk.

HANNIBAL

I’m looking for part of our herd they are missing. Theopolis the king He’s an old friend. You must know him he can vouch for me.

LION ONE

Theopolis. The king of the jungle.

How do you know him

HANNIBAL

We’re supposed to have a reunion all of us who were rescued from the Circus
Have you seen him he’d be awful upset if you started taking a few bites out of me

Besides look at how big I am how could you ever eat me.

LION ONE

Theopolis is off hunting with the rest of the pride.
He’ll never even know you were hear. When we dispose of the evidence

LION’S SONG

We’d start with a little bite of the ear
And move down to your trunk
And when we’d finished the tasty parts
We’d chomp on one of your stumps

You might be a big big fellow
But we’d eat you one bite at a time

So don’t get your hopes up fellow
For shortly you will die.

There’s a lot of you to go around
You’lll make quite a feast
I can hardly wait to take a bite
And tear you with my teeth.

On the small hill above them Theopolis a much superior looking lion appears

He lets out a roar

THEOPOLIS

Leave him be

He pounces into the group of lions surrounding Hannibal and snarls at them all.

Back up back up get away
This elephant is a friends
He’s not your prey

B ack up back up back up

Just move away

Or you’ll tangle with my paws today.

All the lions sneak off and Theopolis starts pulling the ropes that bind Hannibal

THEOPOLIS

It looks like I got here just in time

Hannibal
(struggles to push up the remaining ropes that have him bound)

I am afraid friend you are a little too late.

The baboons have got Mumumu. I don’t know where they are taking him

THEOPOLIS

I know quite a few of the jungle creatures are missing

They are taking him to evil King Beri’s castle. It is just on the other side of the hill. But we will need more than you and I to rescue him. King Beri’s
Baboons are well trained and very vicious. You are lucky they left you alive

HANNIBAL

What does he do with the elephants

THEOPOLIS

They do his dirty work

Most of them work underground digging out his gold and working in his salt mine

He grows richer and richer and barely feeds and gives them water.

If we don’t rescue Mumumu soon there may not be anything to rescue.

HANNIBAL

Then we are lucky Ollie and Rupert are all the way down. They will surely have a plan

THEOPOLIS

That explains why you were looking for me.
Dreadful. This turn of events is simply dreadful

AERIAL SHOT

Ollie and Ruthy converge on a jungle path with Theopolis and Hannibal.

As Hannibal and Theopolis emerge from the jungle path …..

CUT TO:

CLOSEUP

Ollie is walking along with Rupert swaying back and forth trying hard to fight off sleep but not having much success at it.

RUPERT

Ollie can you walk without swaying back and forth so much. I’m about
To fall off.

OLLIE

I’m getting tired. Think Ruthy’s getting tired too. Listen that sounds like Hannibal.

OFF CAMERA Hannibal lets out a huge blast with his trunk

SMOOTHFEATHER FLIES UP TO CHECK and comes back down.

SMOOTHFEATER

It is. He’s here with Theopolis. Hey everybody I think today is
Theopolis’s birthday.

Let’s all surprise him.

Ollie Ruthy Smoothfeather and Rupert hide off the path

Just as Theopolis and Hannibal go by they all jump out.

GROUP

Happy Birthday Theopolis.

Both Hannibal and Theopolis jump up when they land the other animals are bounced around by the moving ground

RUPERT

No that’s what I call a surprise.

Happy Birthday Theo
We’re glad to see you again

Happy Birth day everyone
Many more my friends

Happy Birth day to you.
We’re glad to see you alive

Happy Birthday to you
Happy Twenty Five

Theo reacts with a big big grin.

THEO
Aw shucks you guys came all the way down on my birthday from
Bethany.

HANNIBAL

That was some surprise.

He looks at Ruthy

I don’t think we’ve ever met.

RUTHY

I’m Ruthy Ollie’s wife. You don’t have to tell me who you are

I’ve heard all about you. Hannibal the great

“You’re Hannibal the great.
Greater than them all

Hannibal the great.
You won’t see him fall.

THEO

I’m Theopolis or Theo for short. Nice to meet you.

OLLIE

We met some of your heard at the river they said you went off with mumumu where is he.

Hannibal

It’s not good news Ollie We were ambushed by baboons they tied me down and
Took him away to work in the mines. We’ve lost over 50 from our herd they’ve been disappearing a few at a time.We were out looking for them.

OLLIE shakes his head in disgust

OLLIE

No baboons gonna make a monkey out of me. Let’s see if we can follow their tracks and find away to get them free.

RUPERT flies into the air.

RUPERT

Well baboons are like all of you land creatures and they sure couldn’t have gotten that far. Come on Smoothfeather We’ll be back in a hour it won’t take us long to find them

EXTERIOR Day Castle

HUGE walls are wrapped around an open mine. ELEPHANTS carry heavy burdens and pulling stones are going up and down. The baboons are riding on donkeys. Here and there you can see scattered elephant skeletons and tusks.

SMOOTHFEATER

They are pulling white dirt out of the earth.

RUPERT

That’s salt it’s very rare and very expensive Look a lot of elephants have died here. Hannibal isn’t going to like it one bit. I don’t see any humans at all just animals

In the distant you can hear beating drums Rupert looks and see a cloud of dust coming toward the gate around the mine.

Closer look reveals.

A large king with a big afro and fancy necklaces is sitting
On a big chair made of elephant tusks. The chair is suspended between poles and is bineg carried by 16 baboons running full speed 4 on each pole

In front of the small procession are running baboon drummers.

KING BERI

Make haste Make haste

The gates open and he goes into the mine.MUMUMU is standing there covered with sweat have just pulled a huge basket of rocks.

KING

So our newest volunteer. How do you like the salt mines Elephant

MUMUMU can’t believe he is being spoken to.

MUMUMU

You have created a world of misery for those whom you’ve been
instructed to care for. This is an elephant grave yard..

KING

I have no instructions to care for anyone but myself and my baboons.
Watch your insolence or we shall have your food and water cut in half and your work doubled. This new shipment needs to be readied for we have
Merchants that have come from afar to trade

MUMUMU

My uncle Hannibal will certainly rescue me.

KING

All this talk about your brave uncle Hannibal.As I understand he couldn’t even keep you from being captured. They left him tied down in the jungle. He’s too old and weak to be of use to anyone.

You’d better get to work This new shipment is to be ready by tomorrow. (he reaches into a bag of salt and lets it runs out of his fist.)

Salt Salt Salt
Very precious salt.
Salt salt Salt
And worth so very much

Every grain and morsel
Every bag and load
Brings me so much money
I can’t wait to get me more

Salt salt Salt
Very precious salt
Salt salt Salt
Worth so very much

Without it food is tasteless
We need it to survive
That’s why it brings good prices
Salt keeps us alive

Salt Salt Salt
It’s music to my ears
Salt salt Salt

Don’t stop bring it up here.

The elephants and donkeys groan under the heavy loads of salt and King Beri is oblivious to their distress.

RUPERT whistles to Smoothfeather.

RUPERT

This is worse that I could have imagined. We’d better go tell Ollie.

SMOOTHFEATHER

You go on ahead. I am going to stay here and see if there is anything I can do

EXTERIOR CASTLE WALLS NIGHT

Hannibal, Theo, Ollie and Ruthy are soaked in moonlight watching the baboons march back and forth in front of the castle. As a host of merchant arrive on horseback and in carts.

Rupert and Smoothfeather land right next to them and surprise them

RUPERT

What took you land creatures so long. We saw Mumumu. He’s safe.

HANNIBAL

Safe how can he be safe they’ve got him captive.

OLLIE

How close were you able to get.

RUPERT

We snuck up pretty close that king is uglier than his
Baboons. He wasn’t nice to Mumumu either. They
Are working the donkeys and elephants to death.
We need to do something.

THEO

Is there a way we can reach them

RUPERT

They are wearing chains to prevent them from running

We saw where they keep all the animals but it is behind some really really big gates.

In the distance you can see huge gates.

OLLIE

What about it Hannibal could you get through those gates.

RUPERT

I don’t think they’d stop Hannibal but they are twice as tall. It took ten baboons just to open them

RUTHY

Hannibal Ollie said you were the strongest animal in the world Cou ld you ….could you do It

HANNIBAL

I don’t know After those baboons tied me up and nearly left me for dead I don’t feel that strong anymore. If Theo hadn’t come along I wouldn’t even be here.

OLLIE

But you are and even if you are not as strong as you were when you were younger. You’re a lot smarter think of how much you’ve learned besides. We’ll all be with you to help you and together

Together

we can do it together.

Together we can do all things

Together we can tear down a mountain

Together we can tear down the gates.

Together we can stomp out this slavery

Together we can help our friends.

Together we can end this madness

Together

we can Do it again.

OLLIE

There’s only one way to do this. Now listen because I have a plan.

EXTERIOR GATES EVENING

Ollie is outside the gates and kicking at them. A door opens in the middle of the gate and a guard comes out.
OLLIE

He haw. He haw

GUARD

Oh little fellow you must have been left in the mines. Well come in
We’ll get you some food and water. But if I were you little one I
Would have high tailed it out of here. You won’t last long in these
Salt mine.

The guard leads ollie through the small gates down a path to the large pen where all the donkeys and elephants and lying about.

GUARD

Now in you go little fellow. Look like your chains are off
Well tomorrow be sure they will fit you with another pair.

As the guard is bending over Smoothfeather darts in and steal his ring of
Keys.

GUARDS

Tarnation. Thieving gull . You come back here with my keys

At the entrance to the castle RUPERT works the pin out of the castle gate hinges. He pecks at them as if he is a woodpecker

CUT TO:

INTERIOR ANIMAL PEN EVENING

OLLIE wastes no time in trying to find MUMUMU. SMOOTHFEATHER is riding on his back carrying the keys.

OLLIE

MUMUMU where are you.

OLLIE is stepping around a bunch of worn out donkeys

We’re getting you out of here.

The animals start murmuring.

DONKEY

Hey keep it down we need our rest.

DONKEY TWO

If you’re looking for that new elephant He’s in the back of the pens
But be sure to watch where you step.

Ha ha ha.

OLLIE

Look tell everyone that wants to make a break for it. We’ll get their chains off of them

DONKEY ONE

You mean any of us. Where will we go.

OLLIE

The donkeys can come with me and the Elephants can join Mumumu and Hannibal the Great

NARRATOR

One by one the animals lined up and Smoothfeather deftly removed their chains. Ollie found Mumumu lying down covered with white salt.

OLLIE

MUMUMU get up We’re here were going to get you out.

MUMUMU

I’m too sore to even walk. Where’s my uncle Hannibal.

MUMUMU struggled to his feet.

OLLIE

He’s going to tear down the gates and get everyone out of here.

Off screen you can here the pecking of RUPERTS beak against the hinges.

RUPERT is pounding the pins out and Hannibal is going to plow the gates down and then all of us are going to make a run for it.

Wake up all the other elephants Smoothfeather made off with the guards keys and is getting all the chains off.

TWENTY-FIVE elephants are rustling about next to about twenty donkeys.

EXTERIOR GATES EVENING

HANNIBAL pushes at the gates which although are out of their hinge pins are still very heavy.

THEO

Push harder Hannibal just knock them over.

RUTHY

(Walks up and look up at Hannibal)

I know you can do it Hannibal Ollie told me
You were the greatest. Go for it.

HANNIBAL step back everybody, the gates are coming down.

Hannibal pushes and the gates creak. He buts the gates with his head and they creak and begin to wabble.

RUPERT

BANZAI. Watch out everybody.

The gates wobble and begin to fall backwards. Hannibal back pedals and the gate begins to head right on top of him

It falls right on top of him as Ruthy and Theo jump out of the way.

From the other side of the gate the animals begin to exit with Ollie in the lead.

He looks over and sees Hannibal lying injured on the ground. Part of the gate is on top of him and he is moaning

OLLIE

Hannibal, We’ve rescued Mumumu You’ve got to get up come on.

Theo looks over at Ollie.

THEO

The full weight of the gate fell on him Ollie He looks like he’s out cold

RUTHY

There was nothing anyone could do it wobbled and came right down on top of him

OLLIE

let’s push it off of him.

ALL THE ELEPHANTS PUSH the giant gate until Hannibal is left lying on his side blood streams from his skull MUMUMU walks up to him

MUMUMU

That was the bravest thing I have ever seen Hannibal

HANNIBAL manages to open his eye.

HANNIBAL (Struggles to say one word)

I’m glad your safe little buddy. We did it. Look take care of the herd if I
Don’t make it…..

OLLIE

We’re not leaving anyone here. We’re going to load you onto one of those salt wagons and pull you back all the way if we have too.

A TEAM OF DONKEY’S PULLED UP A FLATBEDDED SALT WAGON AND THE ELEPHANTS ALL GRABBED HANNIBAL WITH THEIR TRUNKS AND LIFTED HIM UP ON THE WAGON.

THEO

(TO OLLIE) You go one ahead . The light is coming up and the King is sure to send his baboons after you.

I’ll hold them off until you get to the jungle then I’ll come and join you.

The caravan with the elephants the donkeys and Hannibal loaded on the salt cart disappears down the long road descending from the castle and the salt mines.

Exterior stalls daylight

King Beri walks through the stalls and sees the chains lying everywhere.

KING BERI

How can they be gone. Who opened their chains.

GUARD
]
They were sleeping sounder than a baby hippo when I seen em last I swears your lordship
They must have plump vanished.

The King points to the gate.

King

I suppose you’ll be telling me that the gate it just fell over by itself. Get my trackers. the animals can’t have more than a few hours head start on us. If we don’t get them back we’ll be ruined

INTERIOR CAGES DAY

A low snarling emits from the cages as the Guard lets the baboons loose

They bound down the long passageway and file in before the king.

The king holds up the broken chains

KING

Fetch me my pack donkeys and elephants. (He holds up bunches of bananas

Double bananas for the baboon who catches them first.

The baboons jump up in down in excitement.

They bound out of the broken gate and down the path.

EXTERIOR PATH DAY

Theo is waiting in the high grass next to the path. Ollie comes up on him.

THEO

(Jumps up) You surprised me. Why are you with the others.

OLLIE

I thought you’d need some help. I can fight as good as anyone. Remember.

THEO

Don’t remind me. Baboons don’t fight fair. They’ll try to gang up on you bring you down and go for your stomach. How much of a head start do the other’s have.

OLLIE

They’ve got a few hours till they reach the jungle. I’m sure by now they’ve discovered we were missing.

THEO

Ye, I am sure they have

RUPERT flies over.

RUPERT

I’m going to get more help. You fellows are going to outnumbered 10 to one.

OLLIE

Who are you going to find out here to help us.

RUPERT

Not out here up there. There’s some pretty big birds up in those hills and they are going to help us out. Look I cant waste time talking to you. Just hold them off till I arrive with the reinforcements.

THEO
We’ll hold them off alright.

Cut To: AERIAL VIEW

The Baboons are running full speed bounding down the rocky path. Snarling and hopping over one as if they are playing leap frog.

They hop- and hop and hop

the excitement is building as the shot zooms in on their teeth which are long fang like and slightly yellowed.. Their teeth are exposed and quite yellow. King Beri is riding on one that is as big as a gorilla. His baboon is leaning over many of them as he is laughing like a loon

KING

You won’t escape
I’ll bring you back
You’ll work for me
Until your dead.

You can run
But you can’t hide
I’ll track you down
See you tied.

Nobody no one
Gets away

Nobody no one
Can Escape

Nobody No one
Excapes from me

That’s why my name

Is King Beri

I’m the King
There are my goons

If you think you’ll run
You’re a loon

If you think your fast
Then think again

We’ll hunt you down
Bring you in.

Nobody no one
Gets away

Nobody no one
Can Escape

Nobody No one
Excapes from me

That’s why my name
Is King Beri

INTERIOR JUNGLE DAY

RUPERT flies up to a large nest on the rock where a huge VULTURE is nesting. Next to several caves

VULTURE

This is a little high for you isn’t it raven?

RUPERT (puffing)

(looks around nervously) Yea you’re right I saw you while back and I am
here because I can use your help. I’ve got a friend down there who’s in trouble
``` and unless he gets some kind of help its gonna take a miracle for him to
get away from King Beri’s baboons.

CONDOR

I know they are a rough crowd.. Who’s your friend

RUPERT

Actually more than one Hannibal an elephant Theo a lion and Donkey Ollie
Do you think you can help them out.

VULTURE

We usually don’t get involved until the participants are dead but I Don’t see why we cant help you out . It’s time someone taught those baboons a lesson

He flaps his giant wings and looks down on Rupert.

At that moment Smoothfeather flies over.

SMOOTHFEATHER

If you guys are going to help out we’re going to need help fast. They are running out of time.

VULTURE (One by one other VULTURE appear on the rocks above him. They are dressed a little punk they have bald head and around their necks they are wearing bone necklaces.

You go tell your friends we’ll help them out. It will be our pleasure Right boys.

You can tell your friends
They don’t have to worry

You can tell your friends we see everything

Way up in the rocks
We look into the jungle

We hear lots of noise and a scream or too

Jungle life is tough
But we like to tumble
Jungle life is good
It’s where we get our food

EXTERIOR SHOT JUNGLE

An aerial view reveals the baboons over 10 of them bounding down towards Ollie and Leo who are running through the grass just barely keeping pace in front of the baboon army

King Berry is riding on the shoulders of a big gorilla in the middle of the pack

KING BERI

ON boys on. They are getting away.

EXTERIOR JUNGLE DAY

The elephants are struggling with the large massive form of Hannibal in the tall grass who is moaning and obviously in pain.

MUMUMU

Don’t worry uncle we are bringing you back to the river. A good mud bath
`should help your aching bones.

RUTHY

I can hear the baboons coming closer Let’s drag him off the path quickly

A Huge shadow of a VULTURE falls over her face and Rupert flies down next to them.

RUTHY

Vultures they must think we’re doomed

RUPERT

Don’t worry about the baboons. I recruited them. You know birds of a feather
Flock together.

MUMUMU

VULTURES How did you get them?

RUPERT

Don’t you know?
Can’t you see
The birds in the air
The troops in the trees.

Can’t you hear
Will you believe?
The Heavenly father watches
For you and me.

Yes yes yes Birds of a feather

Always always always fly together

Yes yes yes yes yes

Not one will drop to the ground

Without his hand coming around

Our powerful wings like angels rule

Defend the weak and help the poor

And pluck from death’s sure grasp

Swift justice comes to pass

As Rupert continues his songs one by one VULTUREs scoop up the baboons dropping them into the deep ravines. King Beri on the largest one rushes up to Theo and Ollie and looks around for reinforcements and realizes he is alone.

OLLIE

Turn back you evil king your minions have met their fate and for you perhaps it is not to late
To make amends for the evil you have done to those whom you were created to protect.

(KING BERI jumps down from the gorilla who towers in back of him. And runs and strikes at Ollie with his septre. Ollie fends him off deftly avoiding the strike. The king falls into the dust. Two baboons attack Theo who swats them aside. Ruthy and Mumum face the other who are baring their teeth and rushing at defenseless Hannibal. One by one the baboons are plucked away by the vultures.

KING BERI (is scooped up by his hair by the Vulture leader.

One battle is not a war little fellow There will always be rulers like me oppressing the weak and enslaving those of your race. (He glances overhead as a huge VULTURE come for him. It swoops down grabs him by his bushy hair and removes him off the path dragging him into the air.
As he is flying away Rupert flies next to him. Each of the other vultures have got a struggling baboon in their grips.)

BIRDS OF A FEATHER REFRAIN

Goodbye Au viedersein
Sia nara chow adieu

So long my feathered friends
Take creature to the zoo

Put their leader in a cage
An example for them all
Of what can happen when someone
Is greedy and is cruel

When a human takes a fall.
Every body fails
When a human hurts another
We all lose

Goodbye au viedersein
Sia nara chow adie
So long my feathered friends
Take these creatures to a zoo.

On the ground OLLIE unites with Ruthy as the Song continues. They nuzzle with one another.

NARRATOR

Ollie Ruthy Smoothfeather and Rupert stayed on a while while Hannibal healed up
They had a great time playing in the water and racing with the Zebras. Then one day Ollie announced it was time to go home.

OLLIE

Hannibal Theo Mumumu We’re going to be leaving today. It’s time to go back to Bethany.
Elizabeth and Jehu will start to get worried about us. We’ve all had a great time.

Hannibal

(Strokes Ollie with his trunk)

Well my friend you kept your word you came to visit and I dare say if you would have never come my bones might be sunning in the elephant graveyard. So thanks a million.

THEO

You inspire us all to do our best Ollie. We’ll go with you up to the river crossing. I’ll make sure the other lions leave you alone

MUMUMU

I’ll go with you too Rupert and Smoothfeather can ride on my back.

RUPERT

I’d sure like to know what the vultures did with the baboons and King Beri.

SMOOTHFEATHER

Well Im sure they are paying for their crimes.

ROLL CREDITS

While the credits are rolling

King Beri and the baboons are chained carrying bags of salt. The Vulture is gnawing on a big bone and smiling.

L VULTURE

Pick up the pace. Pick up the pace.

The camera pulls back to reveal a large sign over the former gates.

VULTURE SALT WORKS

A stone Vulture statue rests on the top of each of the pillars.

Allondra grows impatient an follows him down the Nile to the mountains of Ethiopia where she is kidnapped by a jungle man who rules over a tribe of baboons. Rupert finds them and Ollie and Jehu go in for the rescue. They escape right before the baboon man’s planned sacrifice. Ollie is able to convince the leader of the baboons how wrong it is to kill a person and he lets her go. Jehu waits by the Nile in a small boat and float away under cover of the night.

Swamps of Kadesh

Abner and Elizabeth move to Kadesh where his grandfather has deeder him some land. They take along Jonathan and Rhea and ask Ollie, Esau, Isa and Jeremy to help them move. Rhea wanders off from everyone and is carried off by a giant bird after she has been found messing with its offspring. Rupert finds her in the crags of a nearby mountain but they must pass through a dangerous swamp to rescue her. Ollie nearly dies in the swamp when he steps in mud and his brothers must pull him out. Rupert risks his life distracting the large bird and Ollie helps Rhea escape.

Sheik of Babel Mandad

Jehu and Allondra accompanied by Ollie and Rupert return to Egypt to visit her cousin and uncle Ramses the Pharoah. Along the way they grow hungry and are invited to join a Sheik, for a desert feast. Ollie warns them not to trust the Sheik, Jehu and Allondra pay no heed and that night when they are sleeping the Sheik kidnaps Allondra planning on adding her to his harem. Jehu must turn to young Ramses for help and along with Ollie and Rupert they ride out on chariots to challenge the Sheik. He is not used to a fair fight and gives up easily. They decide in the future not to trust everyone but to depend a little more on inner wisdom rather than outer signs of wealth.

Cedars of Lebanon

The whole family, Jehu, Allondra, Abner, Elizabeth, Jonathan, Rhea, Farmer John, his Wife, Ollie, Jeremy, Isa, Esau, and Rupert decide to spend their summer vacation amongst the beautiful Cedars of Lebanon. The trip is beautiful until Jonathan, Rhea, and Ollie go off exploring and find a house built into the side of a mountain. They get trapped when the floor of the house which contains a trapdoor gives in and they find themselves in a batcave. They each have to answer three riddles before he allows them to go free. They learn to conquer their fear of the unknown and use their God given common sense.

Wild Kingdom

Ollie overhears Jehu talking about a herd of wild donkeys that have been ravaging farm land and making a nuisance of themself. There is a reward of 10 pieces of silver for every one of them brought in dead or alive. He talks it over with Rupert and decides to go out find them and get them to change their evil ways. They journey leads him through the remotest parts of Isreal where he finds them holed up in a ravine with their cache of stolen food and farm implements. The leader Ragsdale towers over Ollie and challenges him to a fight to the finish. If Ollie wants to gain the respect of the herd he has no choice but to accept and possibly sacrifice his own life to save others, Rupert knows of some berries that if eaten will make Ragsdale very sick. He plants them in his food without Ollie even knowing about it. Rupert assures Ollie that he is more than capable of gaining victory over Ragsdale. When the morning arrives and the challenge is to take place, Ragsdale is too weak to challenge him. Ollie leads the herd of reengages to Jehu who agrees to help train them all to become productive farm animals.

Fisherman of Gaililee

Ruper finds one of his cousins for sale in the fishing village of Gallilee and finds out that a gang of young hoodlums has been shooting down the birds with their sling shots and clipping their wings so they can’t fly. He confronts Jehu and Ollie with the news and Jehu infiltrates the gag and finds out that the young boys have been selling the talking ravens to a crooked merchant who uses them to spy on his competitors and ambush their caravans. The authorities are alerted and the merchant is caught red-handed with the silent property. The grateful caravan owners build and aviary when Rupert’s cousins can live in peace visited by local youngsters.

Scroll of the Dead

During a trip to Jerusalem, Ollie and Jehu stumble upon a jar containing a map to one of Solomon’s Silver Mines. Ollie’s brother comes along to help carry back the silver. While digging out the mine Jehu and Ollie’s brothers are trapped in a cave in with no food or water. Ollie must dig them out of the wreckage. They learn the real treasure they will always have is their love for one another.

First Olympics

Jehu enters the first Olympics he must throw the javelin, discuss, wrestle and do a long foot race. He becomes so confident that he is going to win he grows lazy about his training and speeds his days in Greece at the seashore in their rigorous training regimen and grow concerned. Jehu gets hurt diving and develops a cramp in his leg. He asks Ollie for help training and changes his ways when he sees that he is no longer a favorite to win, when he wins the championship wreath he puts it Ollie and gives him the credit for his victory.

NARRATOR

One hot afternoon in Bethany Israel five young Donkeys gathered around their Aunt Alana and begged her to tell them a story.

OLLIE

Tell us a story Aunt Alana

ISA
Yeah we want to hear about the time you gave baby Jesus a ride

AUNT ALANA

All right children. If I must It was a night as bitter cold as only Bethlehem’s winters can get.

The screen becomes shimmery as what she describes begins to take place>

The angel appeared to Joseph to tell him to flee to Egypt we all saw him None of the other donkeys would even hear of taking the trip. Well, as for me, I was just a sprig of a lass. I remember when Mary turned to me and asked me if I’d carry them. I’d never been so honored in my life. It was long long trip with many, many hardships. When we’d finally made it to Egypt, I felt as if I could turn around and do the whole trip again.

CAMERA CLOSE UP OF THE DONKEYS LISTENING IN RAPTURENone of my hoofs were even split.

ISA

Wow

PANS TO CLOSEUP

OLLIE

ALANA

In each generation there have been donkey’s that God has used for his purposes . it matters not your size or the family you are from. God has simply used those who are most available to him. The legacy goes back to the beginning of our time. There were Donkeys that helped Noah with his ark,

NARRATOR (VO)

Later that evening Ollie’s brothers returned to the stall

ISA

Who do you think you are carrying on like God was going to chose you.

ESA

A little runt like you, carrying the messiah God would certainly chose me over you any day

JEREMY

Ollie, I think you’ve really gone overboard this time There’s no way God would pick you over any of us.

Reaction shot OLLIE glances back at them from the window a look of strength and defiance. And determination.

OLLIE

Well Alana told me God would pick anyone who had a willing heart

EXTERIOR ROAD DAY

NARRATOR (VO)

Now Jesus had sent his disciples in search of the Donkey who was to accompany him on his journey to Jerusalem. PETER and JAMES decided to visit Ollie’s owner Farmer John.

THEY ARE LEAVING THE BARNYARD and it is far back in the distance in the valley below them as they are climbing the hill towards Jerusalem.

JAMES

PETER The master specifically said A very pale donkey short in stature

PETER

I know JAMES, but look for yourself .There didn’t appear to be one light colored one in the bunch. Maybe the master sent us to the wrong farm

JAMES

Hold on, the master make a mistake. I say let’s ask the farmer again. Perhaps there is one Donkey he forgot about.

COMMENT OLLIE HAD BEEN GONE DURING THE FIRST VISIT.HE HAD BEEN FORGOTTEN AS WELL. HE GOT TIED UP AND THROWN IN THE THE WELL IN BETWEEN THE FIRST VISIT OF THE APOSTLES AND THE SECOND WHERE THEY CONFRONT THE FARMER TO TELL THEM EVERYTHING INCLUDING THE FACT THAT INDEED HE DOES HAVE A SMALL WHITE DONKEY

NARRATOR

That same afternoon Ollie tried to join up with his brothers playing skip the rope near the old well.

OLLIE

Can I play Can I play please?

ISA

Aren’t you too good for us?

ESAU

Yes If after all the Messiah’s gonna chose you.

OLLIE

Come on please .Can I play?

JEREMY

Sure Ollie Let’s let me play. Come on jump in. Do you really think the Messiah gonna chose you because that’s too bad cause he’ll have to find you first.

SONG

WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE (*ALL)

Some kind of superstar?

Do you think you are the best (Isa)

Let’s just put him to the test. (Esau)

Who do you think you are.

Who do you think you are

You’re too small and you won’t go far (jeremy)

You’re too different you’re too pale (Isa)

Besides that you’re too frail (esau)

Who do you think you are.

Who do you think you are

So special it won’t be hard (Jeremy)

We should throw you down the well (ISA)

Tie him up and never tell (Esau)

Who do you think you are

We should throw you down the well (ISA)

Tie you up and never tell (Jeremy Esau)

Who do you think you are

OLLIE

No come on guys please don’t tie me up

ISA

It serves you right Ollie you’re much too proud little brother perhaps some time down the well will cure that.

OLLIE

Come on guys Don’t throw me down the well >NOOOOOOOOO
(We will use a new water sound.)

SONG

Ollie falls endlessly into space descending over continual rows and rows and round of spiral interior well rocks and bricks.

I’m falling ooooh

I’m falling

I love them but they betrayed me

Thrown down a deep dark well

They’re jealous they treat me badly

I cry out but no one will help

Oh Lord

Won’t you please help me

Forgive them

For they know not what they do

What they do

HE SPLASHES DOWN FOLEY SOUND OVER THE SOUND TRACK OF HIM SPLASHING

Why Am I different

What does it matter?

If God really made us

Then inside we’re all the same

What does it matter?

If God really made us

Then inside we’re all the same

Abandoned by my brothers

Forgotten here left to die

Up to my neck in water

I scream out no one hears my cry

Oh Lord won’t you please help me

You made me

The way I am the way that I am

Why am I different what does it matter?

If God really made us then inside we’re all the same

What does it matter?

Cause God really made us and inside we’re all the same

What does it matter?

Cause God really made us and inside we’re all the same

Just cause I different

God really made us and inside we’re all the same

Yes inside we’re all the same

Cause inside we’re all the same

All the sameeeeeee

DURING GUITAR SOLO. OLLIE STRUGGLES IN VAIN TO GET OUT. HE CAN SEE THE LIGHT OVERHEAD BUT IN SPITE OF HOW VALIANTLY AND HOW HIGH HE JUMPS HE CANNOT DO IT ON HIS OWN. HE GROWS MORE AND MORE EXHAUSETED AND QUITS JUMPING RIGHT AFTER THE GUITAR SOLO AND GOES BACK TO SINGING.

CUT TO BARNYARD.

EXTERIOR BARNYARD DAY

OLLIE BROTHERS GLANCE OVER AT FARMER JOHN TALKING WITH JAMES AND PETER. ELIZABETH JEHU AND MRS. FARMER JOHN ARE ALSO LOOKING ON.

If God really made us

Then inside we’re all

If God really made us

Then inside we’re all the same

If God really made us

FARMER JOHN

Well, I’ve shown you all my best Donkeys. Yet you say the Messiah would not be please with any of them

JAMES

Yes old man They’re all very fine animals.

PETER

Indeed the finest we’ve seen

FARMER JOHN

Then surely one of these must be appropriate for your purposes.

MRS> FARMER JOHN (New Character)

Now John.; There’s one of them you haven’t shown them. Ollie.

ELIZABETH

Yes father they haven’t seen Ollie

FARMER JOHN

We I really don’t think they’d be interested in Ollie. He’s too small and a very strange color for a donkey. Far too pale

PETER

Far too pale? Maybe that’s the one the Master wants. Do you think you can round this Ollie up?

ELIZABETH

Sure If he hasn’t wandered off too far. Ollie is always getting himself lost.

MRS FARMER JOHN

Go fetch him ELIZABETH. These men have important things to do.

Song ELIZABETH (Skips about looking everywhere. This is a real chance to show off the farm. She can wander into a stack of hay shaped like a cave she can wander by a small herd of sheep her wandering shows a little distraction.

Donkey Ollie where have you gone too

Donkey Ollie where have you gone too

I‘ve looked for you for a long long time

Donkey Ollie where have you gone too

Why can’t you hear me please come home
Donkey Ollie where have you gone too

I‘ve looked for you for a long long time

Donkey Ollie where have you gone too

Why can’t you hear me please come home

Please come home

Please come home

Please come home

NARRATOR

Now as ELIZABETH skips about looking for Ollie she stops for a drink by the well and hears a sound

OLLIE

He haw he haw

ELIZABETH

Ollie is that you.

OLLIE

He haw

ELIZABETH

Hold on to the rope and push with your legs

NARRATOR

ELIZABETH struggles and finally gets him to the top
He is covered with green algae

ELIZABETH

Look at you you’re a sight. How did you get yourself into that predicament Well never mind hold still you silly donkey let me untie you. Don’t you know that Jesus wants you?

NARRATOR

Ollie and ELIZABETH return to the barnyard

PETER

So you found the young fellow. He is an unusual color

JAMES

He’s just as the master described him except I’ve never seen a donkey so green

ELIZABETH

O that’s not his real color I’ll clean him up and he’ll be ready to go.

FARMER JOHN

You’re gonna pick him? Are you sure we have many that are much smarter and much stronger than him

JAMES

No I’m sure he’s the one. The master’s chosen him.

NARRATOR

Ollie’s brothers can’t believe it. While Ollie is being groomed his brothers stand in the background murmuring

ESAU

Can you believe it I’m twice his size

ISA

Yeah and I’ twice as smart

JEREMY

And what about me. I’m twice as fast

SONG

A donkey such as I (Esau

I really don’t know why ( Isa)

I was the biggest strongest one( Esau)

I was the wisest smartest one (Isa)

But a Donkey such as I (Esau)

I’d like to ask him why (Isa)

He chose the smallest one (Esau)

Not a donkey such as I (ALL)

NARRATOR

As Ollie’s brother’s continue to complain about not being chosen. Ollie leaves with the Apostles for Jerusalem

SONG
WE’RE OFF TO JERUSALEM (James and children following are singing the have flower garlands and banners. A group of maybe five or ten children Elizabeth and Jehu are among them.)

We’re off to Jerusalem (James)

Were off upon our way

Were marching with our Lord and king

Hosanna to his name

Hosanna sing praises to his name

And spread it all around

We’re off to Jerusalem

Come everyone along

Raise up your banner now

Make a grand display

DURING THIS MARCH Jesus joins them and gets on Ollie The children throw flowers at his feet.

We’re off to Jerusalem

Rejoice and shout hooray

Hosanna sing praises to his name

And make a joyful sound

We’re off to Jerusalem

Come everyone along.

We’re off to Jerusalem

Were off upon our way

Were marching with our Lord and king

Hosanna to his name

Hosanna sing praises to his name

And spread it all around

We’re off to Jerusalem

Come everyone along

CROWD

Come on everybody. Come on come on (Crowd noises)

JESUS
You are a beautiful donkey. Ollie I am so glad you offered to give me a ride. Have you ever seen such a sight.

.
NARRATOR (VO)

DISTANT SHOT OF CALVARY with three empty crosses. The body of Christ with a shroud over it is laid across his back and several people dressed in black shrouds accompany him.

Within a week after Ollie had given Jesus a ride into Jerusalem. Jesus was crucified for the sins of the world. And Ollie helped carry the body of Jesus with John Mary and Ollie grieved for the one who had given him so much love and understanding. He turned down all his favorite foods and began to grow weak. Little ELIZABETH grew more and more worried about him and prayed fervently that God would restore his will to live

IN THE BARN INTERIOR DAYTIME

All around Ollie are bowls of uneaten carrots that have wilted lettuce and grains. Maybe some bugs are crawling on top of them.

ELIZABETH

Ollie you’ve got to get up to eat. It’s been three days and you haven’t taken a bite of anything I know you are sad about Jesus. We all are. But please I’ll be even sadder if you die and if you don’t eat you will die. Here’s some carrots I know they are your favorites. (She has a bunch of fresh carrots.)

NARRATOR :
She pushes them under Ollie’s nose . Just then a blinding light appears in the stall and Jesus stands before Ollie and ELIZABETH.

JESUS (Radiant White robe)

Eat my little one and weep no more. Death has had no power over me.

SONG IN MY FATHER”S HOUSE (Jesus Sings)

In my father’s house
There are many mansions
I go prepare you a place

In my father’s house
There are many mansions
So put a big smile on your face

Wipe those tears from those sad eyes
Let your heart be filled with joy

I made a place for you to love me
Every girl and boy

In my father’s house
There are many mansions
I’ll prepare you a place
In my father’s house
There are many mansions
Put a big smile on your face

Wipe those tears from those sad eyes
Let your heart be filled with joy.

NARRATOR Jesus walks out of the stall to meet his disciples Peter and James Ollie stands to his feet to sing him farewell

SONG JESUS YOU ARE THE ONE

THE VISUAL OF THIS SONG CAN CONTAIN THE INTRODUCTION OF EACH CHARACTER as if it were the end of a long running musical on broadway. It can be set on a portico adjacent to the Jerusalem wall.

One by one they all come to the screen and wave to the viewers. They get a closeup as they come on. Their name appears in readable letters below them. As the new cast members come to be introduced they shake hands or acknowledge the previous others.

Or I’ll be comingto your neighborhood

Now children should be seen and hardly heard
Unless your rappin about the word

The Lord’s got the power to help you fight

Lamb of God is my best friend
