Growing Up is Optional (a Disney-inspired audio production)
Project Overview
An upcoming audio drama. A love letter to classic Disney movies, and the epic crossover we deserved (as opposed to the dumpster fire that was Wish)
Summary:
Mindy’s mundane world is turned upside-down when she comes to the disturbing realization that her entire childhood has been erased from her memory. Now, she must traverse the mysterious realm of The Dremesphere; a world inhabited by some of the most iconic Disney Characters to ever exist. Along the way, she enlists the help of Peter Pan and the Lost Boys to pick up the shattered pieces of her mind, as well as defeat the ever-elusive entity known simply as The Projectionist.

"C'mon everybody, here we goooooo....off to Neverland!"
"Hey...do we...know each other? Are you sure? It feels like...wait, don't tell me. I wanna say... Joan? Ha! I knew it! Oh, the cleverness of me!"
"Why should I help you? You're a grown-up...and that makes you my enemy"

"Blast that Peter Pan! If I could only find his hideout, I could trap him in his lair! But where is it? Mermaid Lagoon? No, we’ve searched that…combed Cannibal Cove…here! No, no, no, that’s Indian Territ-but wait…those redskins know this island better than I knew me own ship…I wonder…"
"Don’t make promises you can’t keep, me dear…it’s bad form"
(fearful) "Smee! Smee! Save me, Smee! Smeeeeeeeeeeeeee!"
Hook's loveable villainous sidekick. As portrayed in the 1953 animated feature.
(Cheerful) This reminds me of the days when you were but a tiny sea pup, Miss Singh! We’d use you as bait to trap Peter Pan, he’d swoop in to the rescue, and you’d both fly off into the sunset! I wonder if things’ll be more interesting this time around now that you’ve grown up!
Aye, aye, sir! The sooner we get out the better! The closest hiding place is the Spanish Maine, sir! I’ll set our courses, cap’n!
(Frustrated) I’m a might confused, is she-is he- Ugh! Until you’ve made that decision I’ll stay out of this, then!
A pint-sized conscience with a heart of gold. As portrayed in the 1940 animated feature.
Why as I live and breathe…Mindy Singh, what a sight for sore eyes! What’s it been now, seven, eight years? Look how much you’ve grown!
Ya know, I didn’t think I was anything special either. Just a cricket wandering from hearth to hearth only focused on getting a good meal, and a roof over my head. I never planned on being Pinoke’s conscience.
(Reacting to someone’s potty mouth) Woah, woah, woah! What do you think you’re doing? That is some cheeky language, kid! This is a Disney picture!
A wise sorcerer from the Disney film Fantasia (is Disney spelled backwards, I just thought that was kind of neat).
It’s no use. She isn’t a child anymore. She was bound to find out sooner or later. Perhaps if I tell her about our dire circumstances, it will change her mind.
An Anomaly’s magic is tied to their emotions. Either their heart is filled with childlike wonder and whimsy, or greed and sadistic pleasure for the misfortune of others. Your decision as to which you will be, will determine the entire fate of our world as we know it.
(a bit sassy) Oh and Mindy? You…you won’t be traveling in that. Much better.
A group of rowdy children. Slightly, Nibbs, The Twins, Cubby, and Tootles. As portrayed in the 1953 animated feature.
(Rowdy) Pan’s back! Hey, hey everybody! Tink says Peter’s back! Maybe he’s come back with the ending of ‘Cinderella’! Pan, Pan, I got it with my slingshot! I shot the Wendy Bird, Peter I did!
Eh, that was fun and all, but we don’t know you mister…so…
Take that, pirate scum! blows raspberry You’ll never catch us! Neh, neh, neh, neh, neh, neh! *Insert childish taunting noises here*
Hook's henchmen. As portrayed in the 1953 animated feature.
Why are we stuck here on this cursed island?! We want to pillage and plunder! Kidnap and loot! Mark me words, there’ll be mutiny before anys of us capture the likes of that flyin, bloomin, Peter Pan!
(Fearful & superstitious) Did any of you lads hear a splash? The-the ship’s bewitched! This is a dark, dark, day. By Davvy Jone’s locker, there’s no sign of the wench! We’ll all pay for this by thunder!
*Just good ol’ fashion pirate cackling. Add in a few “Yars!” and “Arghs” and other pirate noises if you’re feeling spicy*
An original character. Mindy's best friend. A nerdy, dorky, goofy teenager. Loves dad jokes and puns. Breaks out into song on any other week, and isn’t afraid to be in touch with his feminine side. Based off of Thomas Sanders (Specifically Patton from Sanders Sides).
(Excited) Hey there kiddo, you having the best birthday ever yet? Well, regardless of whatever kind of day you’re having, I’m about to single-handedly make it one-hundred times better! Trust me, you’re gonna love it!
(Scared and confused) M-Mindy? Where are we? Why am I locked up, and who is that?
How do ya find Will Smith in the snow? Nothing, nadda? Well, you just look for the fresh prints! What’s brown and sticky? No, you silly goose, a stick! Thank you, thank you, I’m here all day! *blows kisses to imaginary crowd*
An evil sorcerer who can enter your subconscious, rearrange or change your memories, and manipulate your thoughts. Based off the classic Disney villains of old, can be extremely sassy, and is inspired by Aurelio Voltaire and his song “The Projectionist”.
Oh well isn’t this cute? You actually think you have a chance against me, haha well…as the kiddies say, bring it on, dear thing…
(Angry) I’ve spent eons fighting to prevent this realm from descending into madness, and I am not letting an insignificant mortal from the Otherworld undo all of my hard work! So do yourself a favor, and scurry back to whatever hidey-hole you came from, you cowardly little mouse!
(Shocked) No, no, it’s impossible. You’re lying…you look exactly the same as you did all those years ago. Is this-is this an illusion?
A kind teacher at the beginning of the story.
Don’t worry, you aren’t in trouble or anything, I’m simply wondering why you didn’t write anything down. Today was only a brainstorming session, but still, it’s unlike you to be this non-participative in class.
You’ll be alright, you have until Monday to figure it out. I have every confidence in you. Have a good weekend, and a happy birthday
Looking for artists who can draw in the classic 2D animated Disney-style. Digital artwork. Also people to help with concept sketches and the designs for the original characters
