Where the Wild Things Are/Lost Boys from Peter Pan

An Adventure of the Imagination – the main characters dress up as animal in order to become creatures of an imaginary world which they alone are able to see within their own neighborhood. The characters are the neighborhood kids who have extraordinary adventures in which they live and learn as their imaginary plays out around them. Everyone else (i.e. parents, adults, older siblings) is unable to see this wonderland due to their lack of imagination, and thus perceive the kid’s antics to simply be a phase to grow out of…

Where did your imagination take you?

The Lost Boys Concept:

Within their backyards/neighborhood a group of kids wear animal type outfits that match their personalities and attributes. when using their imagination they get lost into there own world as in references to “where the wild things are”[how max is off to another land and becomes king] or “peter pan”"hook”[the lost boys in neverland and the lot never growing up]. For example, when in a backyard of a fellow friend, the gang may see[IMAGINE] his tree house as a vast, jungle oasis high in the treetops of the amazon where they are explorers fighting dangerous tribes looking for gold. The elderly lady Neighbor next door with her vicious dogs that guard her yard transforms  into a dragon and her minions defending a dark dangerous castle by the kids. While running through the forest alone side the castle which in real life is an alleyway between the houses. The Pool being a vast ocean, and the group grabbing anything that floats to make a giant pirate ship to sail the high seas! The main premise is the kids use their imagination to get lost, but when observing them on these adventures the viewer see’s both the kids IMAGINATION and REALITY[the neighborhood]. Each scene may cut back and forth many times between the two perspectives.

The group is lost in there imaginations and in turn learn life lessons and become better friends. using sandlot/goonies/ other rag tag groups as references/fun adventures.

Lost Boys with personality and animal references:

• Wolf[boy]: loyal, always a team player(aka unofficial leader), admits when wrong, cares for everyone or at least tries his best. Personalities like= “Mikey”: goonies “Benny”: sandlot
• Owl[boy]: has glasses, smart, patient, sometimes too nice, but has times where he does blow his top! Personalities like= “Scotty Smalls”: sandlot “Data”: goonies
• Fox[girl]: Tom boy, cunning, (aka unofficial 2nd in command) outfit too large, laid back, liked by everyone, athletic and confident. Personalities like= “Elly”: Up
• Cat [girl]: very girlie, cute, sassy, Trixy, and manipulative to the rest of the group to get her way, “it’s all about her” though has a soft side that she tries to hide Personalities like= “angelica”: rugrats.
• Raccoons[twins, boy and girl]:  independent, bicker with one another, have cocky attitudes, but would do anything for their twin and friends. Personalities like= “phil and lil”: rugrats. “Mouth”: goonies “ya ya”or “squints”: sandlot
• Rabbit[boy]: timid, very lucky/somehow everything works out for him. Personalities like= “Scotty smalls”: sandlot
• Bear[boy]: chubby loving, kind, takes care of everyone, Personalities like=“chunk”:goonies
• Squirrel[boy]: “over the hedge”… need i say more haha Personalities like= “ya ya”: sandlot

the animal type, race, gender, personality can be edited or the feature can have less characters but those were some of my ideas and please add on!!!!

book + hammock = best day ever

Hit us with stupid sticks but hey we’re artists and our minds dont work like normal people. Pretty much we decided to combine Wetland Wonders and Lost boys. Since now wetland wonders is mostly just a setting focus, Heliodus and i we’re like “hey, how about wetland wonders can be one of the kid’s imaginary adventures for the lost boys concept?” and presto amazing idea. Stemming from this combination of the two themes that we thought each “week” a kid of the “neighborhood club” [club name under construction] gets a turn at their imagination land that they all participate in. We thought the wetland Wonders was more the twin raccoons ideas for they love getting muddy and dirty but that’s where were going there

Other updates with the Characters!!

Fox: [unofficial leader] Name: Blanca Race: Latina Background: has 5 siblings, all boys but her, 3 older brothers and 2 younger brothers.
