INT.MORNING. KIMI’S HOUSE. BEAVERTON.THE LUSH CANADIAN
WILDERNESS.
The town of Beaverton is a small dam community, built across
a lazy river nestled in a deep forest reserve.In the morning
the busy beavers hustle off to work while the kids get ready
for school! Beaverton is home to birds, friendly fish and
crabs...and beavers!
Kimi, a young beaver with many of the attributes of a young
boy (anthropomorphized to help children relate to the
animal. all the other beavers are regular beavers.), he is a
friendly and impetuous little scamp! But some beavers in
Beaverton think he’s a freak. ( bullying )
Kimi, and his illiterate friend Brik, sit in his wooden
stick hut, playing a beaver game. Brik wears his school
clothes, funny hat and poorly buttoned shirt. Kimi looks
great.
KIMI
All-right, one, two three four
five! Five spaces! spin the spinner
Brik!
BRIK
sure thing Kimi!
Brik spins the wooden spinner with his tail, he is easily
two to three feet shorter than his humanoid friend, but Brik
is feeble minded, and seems unaware of his friends pariah
status in the community. He is having a great time!
Brik picks up a hunk of wood, and struggles to read it.
BRIK
G-Go-Go to- Go to
Kimi shakes his head softly as MISTAKE MUSIC plays, the
MISTAKE MUSIC is Brik’s theme. He makes mistakes.
KIMI
It says ’GO TO STORE’ Brik! Here,
I’ll get that for you.
Kimi helpfully moves his friend’s piece. Dimwitted Brik
drools and chuckles at himself, his tail slaps loudly
against the mud floor.
Suddenly Kimi's stopwatch pendant, which he wears around his
neck AT ALL TIMES, begins to beep loudly. Kimi and Brik SNAP
to attention, turn to face the camera and count in time with
it- they stare directly at the viewer.( Children )
2.
KIMI AND BRIK
(In time with the beeps)
ONE *BEEP* TWO *BEEP* THREE *BEEP*
FOUR *BEEP*
It is time to brush their teeth.
KIMI
Hey Brik! It’s time to brush our
teeth!
Brik falls backwards and slaps his tail against the hard mud
floor, laughing.
Suddenly, their third beaver friend BOOKY enters from the
left. The camera pans to reveal there is no door to the
left. Has he been here the whole time?
Booky is smart, he is Brik’s Brother and the two just really
get along great.
BOOKY
Hey guys! Tooth time?!
KIMI AND BRIK
YES.
BOOKY
ALL-RIGHT.
EXT. BEAVERTON. AFTERNOON
ESTABLISHING SHOT: THE HAMLET OF BEAVERTON, BEAUTIFUL, RURAL
AND NATURAL. THE SUN IN THE BACKGROUND. NEXT TO THE LAZY
RIVER IS KIMI’S STRAW HUTCH, SMACKED WITH MUD, A NICE DOOR
FRAMED BETWEEN TWO WINDOWS.
A faun saunters up to Kimi’s neat straw hutch, he is
RiggleBee, Kimi and friends magical friend!(He wears a
wizards hat) He is a young deer, with a twinkle in his eye,
who loves to help out. Perched on his back is his brother,
MAGGY, a charming magpie who is a real cut up.
INT. KIMIS HOUSE. BEAVERTON
Kimi, Brik and Booky stand in front of a wide, cracked
mirror, on top of a soapbox, brushing their teeth. Kimi
begins to hum and tap his HUMAN FEET, a whistle is heard,
more tapping. Suddenly a MUSICAL NUMBER begins, as the young
beavers sing about their teeth.
THE TOOTH SONG(INTRO):
3.
KIMI: OOOOOOH. HEEEEEEY
ALL: HEEEEEY. TEEEEETH
KIMI:OOOOOOH HEEE-
CUT: THE SMALL DOOR. Rigglebee’s head pokes through the
window.
RIGGLEBEE
HEY GUYS!
KIMI, BRIK, BOOKY
(SURPRISED-ELATED)
HEY! RIGGLEBEE.
Rigglebee forces his deer frame through the beaver door,
tearing the wall apart.Shards of the wooden door and
mud-caked wall lie at his hooves. No one in this group of
best friends seems to mind, and they all keep singing and
dancing around the broken door frame.
THE TOOTH SONG:
All:
BRUSH BRUSH BRUSH.
BRUSH BRUSH BRUSH.
TEETHY TEETHY TEETH TEETH.
BRUSH BRUSH BRUSH.
KIMI: WE LOVE TEETH WE LOVE BRUSHING.
TOOTHY TOOTHY TEETH TEETH
BRUSH BRUSH BRUSH.
All:
BRUSH BRUSH BRUSH.
BRUSH BRUSH BRUSH.
TEETHY TEETHY TEETH TEETH.

RIGGLEBEE: I LOVE TOOTH I LOVE TEETHING
BRUSHO BRUSHO BRUSHO
4.
BRUSH YOUR TEETH
All:
BRUSH BRUSH BRUSH.
BRUSH BRUSH BRUSH.
TEETHY TEETHY TEETH TEETH.
BRUSH BRUSH BRUSH.
RIGGLEBEE
Man, that’s a great song guys, but
what are teeth.
There is a silence, Kimi frowns, Booky taps his tail
irritatedly.
MAGGY
(VERY SARCASTICALLY)
TWEET TWEET
BOOKY
Hush Maggy.
KIMI
He’s right though, Rigglebee you
know what teeth are.
RIGGLEBEE
(Incredulous-Leading)
I dooo?
KIMI
THEY’RE IN YOUR MOUTH.
the group laughs, and line up along the water trough in the
corner, Maggy and Rigglbee pick up toothbrushes with their
mouths from a LARGE PILE of toothbrushes next to the water
trough. They all brush and begin to sing again in unison.
THE TOOTH SONG:
All:
BRUSH BRUSH BRUSH.
BRUSH BRUSH! BRUSH.
TEETHY TEETHY TEETH TEETH.
BRUSH BRUSH! BRUSH.
5.

TEETHY TEETHY TOOTH TEEEEEEETH.
BRUSH BRUSH! BRUSH.
The gang, excluding Maggy, enthusiastically brush. Maggy is
a bird, and has a beak, so he cannot brush his teeth, but
the friends include him anyway.
RIGGLEBEE
Thanks guys!
BRIK
Mah’ Teeth feel great!
BOOKY
It is normal for the gums to bleed a
little, but don’t worry! That just
means they’re alive!
RIGGLEBEE
cool!
The gang break away from the mirror, smiling ,showing off
sets of glowing teeth.
KIMI
Hey! We should see how Sal cleans
his mouth!
BOOKY
I’m not sure that-
6.
BRIK
yes.
The gang saddle up, hand in beaver claw in wing in hoof and
walk through the LARGE HOLE in Kimi’s wall. Maggy and
Rigglebee have a difficult time walking like the Beavers but
Booky, Brik and the boy-sized Kimi help them out!
Fade To.
EXT. THE WOODS. LAKE SIDE. AFTERNOON
Rigglebee sips from a crystal spring, shiny fish dart up and
down the crystal clear river.
KIMI
So, wheres our buddy sal?
BOOKY
Salmon have no ears, they’re also
Anadromus!
BRIK
druuuuu.... druuuu....
druuuuuuuuuu.....
KIMI
Whats that.
BOOKY
It means they are born in fresh
water, like this river with no
salt, then swim to salty places
like the ocean.
MAGGY
TWEET TWEET
KIMI
Not like soup Maggy.
BOOKY
But then they swim back to the
fresh river to get married.
BRIK
Fish get married?
7.
BOOKY
Of Course! Everything gets married!
A massive salmon, with a FRIENDLY face, is seen in the
distance.
RIGGLEBEE
Hey! Hey! there he is!
KIMI
Aw man, we know he’s shy.
BOOKY
Fish are scared of groups, loud
noises, and splashes.
KIMI
Lets sing a song for him!
RIGGLEBEE
Hey, yeah! That’ll comfort him.
MAGGY
Tweet!
KIMI
Yeah! And let him know we are
friendly.
Kimi and crew look, again, at the viewer.
KIMI
Because when you sing people know
you are nice!
The group assemble on the river bank, a light flute song
begins.
SALMON SONG:
KIMI:
Salmon Sal! Hey Salmon Sal.
Salmonsalmonsalmonsalmon
Swim up to us Sal!
Sal Sal Salmon
Swim Swim Sal
To be our friend!
8.
All:
TO BE OUR FRIEND!
That seems to work, and the salmon vanishes briefly, then
breaks surface of the water..
SAL (SALMON)
Hey guys! I didn’t recognize you
under the water.
RIGGLEBEE
Yeah! Water distorts images, so we
must have looked silly, like in a
fun house mirror.
KIMI
What are you talking about.
BOOKY
Salmon have beautiful eyes.
BRIK
Hey Sal, how do you brush?
KIMI
Oh right! Yeah Sal, how do you
brush those chompers?
BOOKY
Salmon don’t have t-
SAL (SALMON)
Oh! You mean these?
Sal smiles, his mouth filled with beautiful teeth.
KIMI
Woah!
MAGGY
Tweet!
BRIK
Nice Teeth!
BOOKY
What...
SAL (SALMON)
You guys, we should brush up
before... well I got something to
show you so we better brush now.
9.
The group pull out their toothbrushes as Kimi’s clock goes
off, they begin dipping their brushes in the water in sync
KIMI
(tentatively)
o-ok... Well lets brush again real
quick, then you can tell us...
what...you...wanted too...
Kimi is distracted by a jet black trickle of color pouring
into the clear river.
CLOSE UP: BRIKS TOOTH BRUSH, OIL INTERMINGLING WITH THE
WATER
Brik lifts the oil drenched brush to his mouth, slow motion,
rigglebee smacks it out of his hands with his hoof.
RIGGLEBEE
What the hay!?
BRIK
...My brush...
BOOKY
Is that oil?
SAL
oh, yeah thats what I wanted to
say.
KIMI
Oh man! Oil leaks are nasty stuff!
They clog up mouths and lakes and
stuff.
RIGGLEBEE
We gotta get him outta there!
Rigglebee starts fumbling with his hooves on Sals slippery
hide, before booky shoves him, in a panic the three all fall
into the inky lake.
BOOKY
No! fish can’t live out of water!
The three are swept downstream.
KIMI
Oh my Gosh! Guys!
10.
SAL (SALMON)
(yelling)
Hurry! Get the human Enkidu! He’ll
know what to do!!!
RIGGLEBEE
We’ll be at the bottom of the
streaaaaaaaaaam.
BOOKY
oh nooooooo
The three are swept down stream.
KIMI
WE GOTTA GO GET THEM
BRIK
WHAT ABOUT THAT PERSON
MAGGY
TWEET. TWEET.
KIMI
We’ll have to find him later, how
are we going to help our friends?
MAGGY
TWEET! TWEET TWEET!
BRIK
Hurmmm, I think Maggy has an idea.
Maggy tweets excitedly, and zips away.
BRIK
We gotta go after him!
KIMI
(urgently)
Wait a minute pal!
Kimi, with his human hand, smacks brik back. Dazing his
friend for a moment, he stumbles around.
BRIK
Oof. what is it?
KIMI
Let’s Brush our teeth really quick.
Brik does a somersault, and gathers up their discarded
toothbrushes, distributing them to the remaining pals.
11.
BRIK
(recalcitrant-defeated)
Well, alright. I guess we should
brush real quick
The gang brushes up real quick. Fifteen second montage of
brushing. Acoustic Tooth Song plays.
KIMI
Allright! Now follow him! And
Quick!
The gang runs after the bird, who flies anxiously down
stream.
EXT. FORREST. THICKET GLADE. RACCOON’S FACTORY.
The gang arrives to find Maggy tweeting excitedly to a
Raccoon named Raccoon, who owns a wood factory. Behind the,
the smokestacks of Raccoons wood factory rise above the
treetops. Boats filled with pallets of wood, manned by a
variety of woodland creatures, dock at the harbor.
RACCOON
I see, alright
MAGGY
TWEET!
RACCOON
Right, yeah, well I see the
problem. GO ahead.
The Raccoon walks away, leaving a stack of wood in front of
the gang, he high-fives Brik on his way out.
KIMI
Okay guys! I think I know what we
need to do! We need to build!
BRIK
A dam!
MAGGY
tweet.
KIMI
Close, but that might keep all the
water away from the fish, they
still need it. We need a boat to
save our friends!!!
12.
BRIK
Whats that...?
MAGGY
tweet.
KIMI
Don’t worry Brik, you’ll see.

EXT. THE WOODS. THE LAKE
Kimi and pals SAIL down the oil slick river, cheering. Maggy
flies ahead trying to scout out their pals. Their boat is a
ramshackle collection of garbage and clothing mounted on
half an oil drum. Kimi and Rigglebee, with their large
frames, cling to either side of the boat, nervously. They
begin singing again.
BOAT SONG 2:
ALL:
SAILING A BOAT. SAILING A BOAT.
WE’RE SAILING A BOAT, TO SAVE OUR FRIENDS.
SAILING IN OUR BOAT.
Maggy begins to tweet loudly, Kimi yells.
KIMI
Hey! Look!
KIMI AND BRIK

Far down river, Rigglebee treads water, with Booky on his
back, talking to Sal Salmon.
14.
KIMI
Booky! Rigglebee! Sal!
RIGGLEBEE
Hey!!! Hey!!!!!
The boat sails alongside them, and Kimi helps his friends
in, they sail quickly down the river, going past the oil.
KIMI
Oh man guys, I am glad to see you,
wheres Sal?
SAL
Hey! I’m right here
Sal is in the water.
BOOKY
This boat, where did you get it...?
KIMI

BRIK

BOOKY
Oh man, you mean Raccoon?
KIMI AND BRIK
YEAH!
BOOKY
(dejected)
Oh no...
15.
The boat falls apart spilling the beavers into the stream,
they pop up one by one and laugh, Rigglbee and Maggy paddle
with them to shore.
A verbose laughter rings out as the gang are seen gathering
along the shore, they begin to leave but Kimi stops them,
and they brush once again
ENKIDU VO
BWAHAHAHAH, THE ANIMALS. But how
will they stop the spill of oil
into our sacred waters? And where
did it come from? Poison of
mystery. And speaking of
mysterious, who is the human they
are searching for? It is I! The
wise and kind Enkidu, long living
in this land, we will have to see
if we meet- Next Week! Sh’ al’ om!
FADE OUT
