why is no one replying??
and not only to this…

some typos, (narrator, governor, should have, i’m off to …) but overall a great script. It could be a really humorous tale if animated properly. I presume you’ll be blending that? :wink: I know I would. Imagine a drunk dude slobbering into a lion’s den, thinking the beast’s a pillow. Cinema at it’s finest!

edit: Also have more narrator parts, not just at the end. e.g. when he escapes from his master the narrator (who could also be parodized/funny) could go “And so our hero ventures out to the great unknown, accompanied only by his trusty camel Bill” etc etc. Oh and no-one is replying because the traditional forum really doesn’t get a lot of views and the script too long for many to read ;).

edit2: From the link you provided: “And the governor of the town, marveling at such gratitude and fidelity in a beast, decreed that both should receive their liberty.” Why not let the Lion free with the slave?
