Time Switch: The Wild Survivors Crew & the Extinct or on the Brink Mission/Time Switch: The Extinct or on the Brink Mission (working titles draft) 

Logline: When a clever problem-solving stink badger and a silly chaotic marmoset, witness the sudden demise of one of the toughest animals in the forest, they must team up to find natural solutions, and create a one stop shop to help high risk species on the brink of extinction to survive, but their first rebranding mission doesn’t go according to plan which then skews the eco-balance and disturbs the fragile harmony between the human world and nature which puts their whole forest and all the wildlife in it at risk.  Written by Jill Thrussell

Summary: When a clever problem-solving stink badger and a silly chaotic marmoset, witness the sudden demise of one of the toughest animals in the forest, they must team up to find natural solutions, and create a one stop wildlife extinction survival shop on the edge of the forest to help high risk species on the brink of extinction offering wildlife Wild Survivor missions, consultancy services, rebranding missions, disguise missions, detective services, public relations missions, disguises, gadgets, solve problems, find and build solutions like useful wildlife structures and wildlife homes, help wildlife in need, build and repair friendships, learn natural wildlife lessons and help nature all around them across the forests and waterways to survive.  Due to their lack of expertise in the human species as they embark on their mission to help their clients to survive and attempt to hide them from those that wish to make them extinct, they seek out support from Dr. Primata, an eccentric siamang monkey scientist and his saolo research assistant Tam Ning who conduct research on many wildlife issues but also on the human species.  However, after their first Annual Wild Survivors Wildlife Conference in the forest, they perform a rebranding mission for a red panda client called Bambam which they hope will dissuade human beings from hunting them for the exotic pet trade by rebranding them as unfriendly, untameable and more savage instead of docile.  Unfortunately, however, their rebranding mission which involves a bunch of ragtag volunteers in disguise, falls flat on its face and goes wildly wrong which then skews the eco-balance and disturbs the fragile harmony between the human world and nature which endangers their whole forest and puts all the wildlife in it at risk.  Some members of the Heroic Creatures Rescue Crew must then step in to help restore the natural harmony between nature and the human world by training some of the wildlife present in the art of self-defence so that they can save their species in future as well as teaching the wildlife present more about the true nature of human beings as they attempt to save the forest and repair the damage that has been done.  Written by Jill Thrussell

Genres: Family Film, Adventure Comedy/Fantasy/Magic Realism

Other Potential Films: (list ordering is random and not finalized and plans for some locations in some continents/places are not yet finalized)

Currently writing and putting together another script and a pilot script.

Themes of this project include teamwork, caring for nature, understanding the eco-balance, living in harmony with nature, goal setting, preservation of nature, compassion for others, goal congruence, appreciation of differences and friendship.

Special Note: Putting together plans for this multimedia project with a book series, song collection, game outline, the creation of a prototype playset with Treehouse Headquarters, build and play forest vehicles and build and play forest areas in Wild Survivors World Zones with animal character figurines and plush toys as well as Heroic Rescue Crew Time Switch figurines and plush toys and character gadgets and working on a drawing for theme park type locations based on this project which will be worked on with an artist and product designer.  Besides the main Forever After Lands and each separate land like the Realm of Time: Time Switch having theme park locations potential, this project also has the potential for theme park locations with nature themes based on the project and the Wild Survivors Crew World Zones across the world.

 

Songs:

Before You're Extinct

Is time running away from you,
Did you lose another day,
Did you see the signs,
That your species is running out time.

You'd better step wisely,
Before you're extinct, you're extinct,
Because if you ignore, 
Nature's warning call,
You'll end up on the brink, on the brink.

Once you're extinct,
It's truly a species end,
And that's an extinction trend,
That you can't reverse, my friend, 
And nature can't mend, 
That grisly end,
So you'd better step wisely,
My wildlife friend, wildlife friend,
You'd better step wisely, 
Before you're extinct, my wildlife friend.

Are your species numbers running low,
Do you have nowhere safe left to go,
Do you struggle to survive,
And do your predators live and thrive.

You'd better step wisely,
Before you're extinct, you're extinct,
Because if you ignore, 
Nature's warning call,
You'll end up on the brink, on the brink.

So swing through every tree,
Very carefully,
Run through every blade of grass,
Very alertly,
Drink at every waterhole,
Very wisely,
Because the survival of your species,
Doesn't always happen naturally,
And has no guarantees,
My wildlife friend, wildlife friend.

Once you're extinct,
It's truly a species end,
And that's an extinction trend,
That you can't reverse, my friend, 
And nature can't mend, 
That grisly end,
So you'd better step wisely,
My wildlife friend, wildlife friend,
You'd better step wisely, 
Before you're extinct, my wildlife friend.
