THE ADVENTURES OF DR. DONUT would be a broad IP for children and tweenies which possess the potential for sequels as well as a broad multimedia platform launch. The idea would be expanded to create a hybrid of the classic JUDY BLUME novels and the ever-popular CALVIN AND HOBBES series. This will create an IP that can work as films, television series, books, graphic novels and in other digital formats.

The first script will follow a young girl (AVA – 8 years old) as she and her friends face the excitements and challenges of being a kid today. She sees the pressures of social media, bullying, puberty, crushes, divorce, fitting in, growing up, expectations, and everything else kids deal with. In the vein of CALVIN AND HOBBES, she turns to her stuffed animal Dr. Donut to help her understand and process the reality of growing up. We enter a fantasy world where Dr. Donut comes to life, and he and Ava go on a series of adventures. Bullies become monsters, they embark on quests, and real-life issues are tackled in a fun, inventive and accessible way that is entertaining for both kids and adults.

This format allows us to address real issues while keeping the film fun, exciting and engaging. The idea would be to launch a multi-media campaign beginning with the pilot film. This becomes a very easy genre to cross-promote on all the relevant platforms such as YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok.

Now is a fantastic time to create this type of material – especially one which has the potential for sequels and spin-offs into other forms of media.

An über driver (think Wil Farrell) accidentally causes the injury of a passenger’s emotional support peacock. Feeling responsible, he agrees to drive him around until a replacement arrives. The problem is the passenger has an out of state work conference he must attend and pressures the driver to take him. The mismatched pair end up a road trip together with constant conflict between the two. In the end, they come to understand each other’s perspective. A modern day PLANES, TRAINS & AUTOMOBILES for millennials.

Bobby, a chubby kid in his early 20’s (Jonah Hill), steps up to the roulette table in a crowded Las Vegas casino and slaps a million Dollar chip on 27 RED.

The whole room is in shock! The roulette spins as whispers spread through the crowd igniting a frenzy of looky loos. The sexiest blonde on earth slips in and snuggles up next to Bobby. She gives him an adoring smile. He winks back at her.

The roulette starts slowing down. The entire crowd is holding their breath. The casino manager and entire staff are watching. The roulette stops. The ball settles on… 27 RED!!!!!!

The whole room erupts in cheers. The sexy blonde whispers into Bobby’s ear: I want to go up to your room now. Bobby gestures to the dealer to take care of his money for him.

Bobby is making passionate love to the sexy blonde. Any of us can only dream of having her. She gets on top and begins riding him.

We see Bobby’s POV of her bouncing up and down on him. She starts yelling his name: Bobby! Bobby! Bobby! He’s about to climax. She rides him harder. He’s climaxing and she screams his name really loud…

Bobby wakes up from his dream as he is ejaculating and sees his mom hovering above him screaming his name, trying to wake him up. He cringes in disgust. Worst climax ever!

His mom tells him they’re late for his grandma’s funeral. He turns to his side to see his digital clock displaying 8:27 in red. The digit 8 flickers a couple of times then goes out. All that’s left on display is 27 RED!!! Bobby wonders.

Bobby opens the fridge, pulls out the orange juice carton and starts drinking from it. He closes the fridge door and in front of him is the magnetic calendar with today’s date, the 27th, highlighted in red with a note next to it saying: Grandma’s funeral. Another 27 RED!!! Bobby’s eyes go wide.

As bobby showers, gets dressed and ready for the funeral, we can tell he is the idiot of the family. The least liked and the least respected.

He arrives to the church where the funeral is taking place, the address is 27 Miracle lane. Theplastic numerical digits glued above the door are in red. More red 27s.

After the funeral and burial where Bobby had been picked on and made fun of the whole time, the extended family is ushered into a private hall where the Grandmother’s attorney is to convey her will.

Everyone waits with bated breath. The lawyer declares that all of the grandmother’s assets have been liquidated into a lump sum of one million dollars, and she bequeaths it to Bobby! The attorney hands him a bearer’s bond for One Million Dollars.

The whole extended family goes into turmoil, chaos ensues! Grandma’s cruelty is not lost on this crowd. You can almost hear her laughing from beyond the grave. “How can she leave this money to the family idiot?” everyone wonders. Bobby’s dad ends the non-sense and orders
Bobby to put the bearer’s bond in the safe over the weekend, and on Monday they will both go to an investment banker and have him handle it. AND THAT’S THAT!

Humiliated, Bobby decides to prove them all wrong. He won’t mismanage the money. Actually, he’s going to turn the one million into 35 million over night. He looks at his watch, he still has time to make it to Vegas before the day is over.

Bobby hops in his car, picks up three of his misfit friends and heads out to Vegas. They rush into the casino, Bobby heads to the nearest cashier and exchanges the bearer’s bond for a million dollar chip.

They run to the high rollers Roulette area and Bobby slaps the Million-dollar chip on red 27.

The whole room is in shock! The roulette spins as whispers spread through the crowd igniting a frenzy of looky loos. The sexy blonde from his dream slips in and snuggles up next to Bobby.She gives him an adoring smile. He winks back at her. Everything is happening the way it was meant to. Bobby has the biggest smile ever.

The roulette starts slowing down. The entire crowd is holding their breath. The casino manager and entire staff are watching. The roulette stops. The ball settles on… 13 BLACK

Bobby starts going crazy! He wants his money back. He creates a ruckus.

He’s thrown in the back alley on his ass. Now a chubby idiot, a pot head, a bi polar schizophrenic and a flaming gay boy have the weekend in Vegas to make a million dollars back, or Bobby’s dad will kill him.
