but her lie unveiled and the creature gets the credit and she is banished from the kingdom

In a  kingdom whos crops are dying a king tries to find a way for prosper by asking the people of his land 
A maiden tells the king she can make the land prosper -she can bring it back to life
He says if she can shell be queen
In a field the girl makes a deal with a  creature she's captured to turn the crops from dead to alive (it bounces through the crops -connected to the maidens leash)
- shell promises to let him go once shes queen. 
 at the wedding the king wants to show the land how she made the kingdom prosper- this time in front of everyone- a dead rose
She says she can only do the kings crops- he brings in wheat as he turns her hands go in her pockets
with no way out she slips the creature in her hands and goes to put her hands on the wheat
as she does this the creature slips and dangles by the leash she has it on 
the king picks up the creature and by doing this the wheat is touched and brought back to life
the king sees the maiden for the fraud she is and banishes her from the kingdom
he then presents the creature to the kingdom as their savior

new take


a different take on the tale of rumpelstiltskin 

lies and Greed gets you no where

a girl captures a creature to use his skills to become queen
but her lie is becomes known and the creature gets the credit instead. 

In a poor run down kingdom
A girl sees a creature turn dead crops to living crops she captures him. If you do this for me I will let you go.
She tells the king she can do this task
He says if she can shell be queen
In a field the girl has the creature turn the crops from dead to alive
But when he was done she didn’t let him go – for he would give her a source of riches always
To the kings promise she was to be queen but upon there wedding the king wanted to show the land how she made there kingdom prosper- this time in front of everyone a dead potted flower
She couldn’t give it life without the creature –she was reveled as a fraud, and had to give the credit to the creature
The woman was out casted from the kingdom and the creature was rejoiced as the savior of the lands  

I stil want them to look some thing like

final


EL: The Untold story of how Rumpelstiltskin became the person we know him as.

How did Rumpelstiltskin become who he is?
This is a study of his character, told in a new story.
Shown on screen as an animated story book with flipping pages
1
A greedy leprechaun wants to become the ruler of the world

He makes a deal with the devil:
            If he consumes the heart of a predestined (royal) infant then he will have the power of the darkness. ( this is because he’s killing and consuming something so pure you have the heart and conscience to possess the power of the dark)
But he only has one try and if he fails his soul goes to the devil.
2
(as a leprechaun he can give wishes, or in his case deals) He makes deals with a maiden to spin straw into gold (he has the power to make gold as he is a leprechaun) in hopes that by helping her the king will marry her and he will cunningly get her child
The first night he gets her necklace, the second her ring, but on the third night she has nothing left to give.
Rumpelstiltskin agrees to spin her straw again in exchange for her first born, and she agrees

The maiden and the king marry, and upon the birth of her son Rumpelstiltskin appears to collect his due
The queen begs for another deal in order to keep her child
Rumpelstiltskin agreed, “if you guess my name in three days time, you may keep your child. But if you fail the child is mine”
3
Each day the queen guessed wrong
The second night Rumpelstiltskin prepared for his feast, dancing around a fire,
“today I brew, tomorrow I bake
and then the prince child I will take
for no one knows my little game
for Rumpelstiltskin is my name”

the 3rd day arrived and the queen guessed his name, “ the devil told you” Rumpelstiltskin exclaimed as he stomped his foot so hard it went waist deep. He grabbed his other leg with both hands to pull him self out, and tore himself in two. And the devil then collected his due

3 Big companies Id love to intern/work for:
Disney-Disney Pixar:
I chose Pixar because they worked against the odds off branching off classic 2D animation and into 3D animation even though many saw computer animation as technology only.  Pixar believed computer animation could be used to create something bigger. With the principles of classic animation and the technology of computer animation Pixar succeeded. To me Pixar is about inspiration, to inspire people to go beyond others perceptions.

Sony- Sony Pictures Animation:
Sony was going to sell Imageworks but couldn't find a buyer. They decided to try their hand at CGI animations. Sony Pictures Animation created Open Season and from it's success the Animation devision turned around a, at that time, failing part of Sony's company.  Sony could have cut Imageworks but instead Sony branched out and tried something new as a last hope. This decision turned out to be beneficial for them as on every project they have made more money than they put in to it. Not only do they have good animation they also aren't afraid to try new things.

Viacom-MTV Networks/ Nickelodeon:
Viacom has a strong business and entertainment grounding. The amount of entertainment brands they own is amazing.  Plus they also cater to all ages. From pre-schoolers with Nick Jr, to teens with Teen Nick, VH1 and MTV; to Comedy Central and Paramount Pictures for adults.
