Sunny turns 18 and decides it's time to venture beyond her foster parents' mushroom farm, put on her bright colored roller blades, and make her way down south to Birmingham. It’s a promise she made to her terra-cotta garden gnome, Ajax. He's the only possession she has from her deceased parents. It's the early 80’s. A world full of John Hughe’s movies, video stores and glamour shots. Along the way, Sunny gets sidetracked, beat down, and when Ajax is stolen from her run down trailer home, Sunny's real journey begins. With the aid of a mysteriously acquired “smelling power”, Sunny finds her inner strength, fights to save Ajax, and learns about true love.

One disappointed wife finds herself hiding in bushes, lying, taking secret trips to casinos, all in the name of finding out the truth about her sneaky husband. Some relationships crumble, others ignite. Of course there is a gun that makes the amateur rounds, and an earthquake, to remind everyone that none of us has any control over anything.

CURRENTLY A WORKING OUTLINE

Animated Musical - McBear, a young impressionable bear cub, growing up in the Great Bear Kingdom in the Alaskan mountains, is about to have his loyalties tested. It has been arranged that McBear will marry Princess Ellie. And even though McBear would admit that the princess is cute (and funny), he truthfully is more interested in being a fisherman. However, the whole arrangement falls apart when his own father and mother conspire to kill the Bear King so they can take the thrown for themselves. Princess Ellie flees the kingdom for her life with the help of the White Bear King. Should McBear remain devoted to his family, despite their sinister ways?  Or stand up for the Princess, the rightful heir to the thrown? These adult questions are too much for the innocent McBear, and he flees the kingdom in search of the princess. McBear is joined by Half’n’Half an arctic fox who secretly works for McBear’s father. They find Ellie and the White Bear, and together the group ventures across the Alaskan countryside. Along the way they face the challenges of a native Kwakawaki village, blizzards, ice cliffs, a volcano, the Lost Kingdom, and Moby the Great Arctic Whale. 

As McBear’s love for the princess grows, so does his fear of returning home. He insists they find a safe place to make a new home. They stumble upon the Lost Kingdom, and settle in for a long winter’s nap. When they awake, they are baffled by their large, mature appearance, and are surprised by three new, rambunctious baby bear cubs. McBear and Princess Ellie are a mom and dad themselves now!  This responsibility pushes McBear to accept his role in confronting his father and mother, and bringing order back to the kingdom.

McBear’s love for Ellie and his new family gives him the strength to do what’s right. However, the confrontation leads to ambitious blows, and McBear’s mother falls into the rushing river. When his father attempts to save her, they both lose their grip and tumble over the Falls to their deaths.  McBear and Princess Ellie, now the Queen and King, show that they plan to lead the kingdom with honor and fairness. McBear finally catches a fish on the river. He smiles proud at his family.
