Don Bluth’s The Witches/Transcript

(The screen zooms in on a spell book, which opens to reveal the opening credits, with each passing page. Once the credits were done, the book page becomes wavy and turns into a scene of a small house in Norway, where a car parks in front. A boy and his parents approach the house as the mom knocks on the door. The door opens to reveal an old woman.)

Old Woman - Oh, Lucille. What brings you here? (Scene changes to in the kitchen, where the old woman is placing peanut butter on a piece of bread and folding it over like a taco, and give it to the boy, who takes a bite.)

Boy - Thanks, Grandma Patricia. Your sandwiches taste great.

Patricia - Thank You, Theo. (Sighes) Too bad your parents didn’t want me around you. Said I was too creepy, too out of touch, and...

Lucille - We’ll be back in three hours, and remember, Theo be sure to have your dinner before 8, and go to bed before 10. Let’s hurry, Michael.

Michael - Okay. And Patricia? Don’t tell any of your witch stories. (He and Lucille leave the housrs, as Theo looks at Patricia.)

Patricia - What is it?

Theo - What’s a witch? (Patricia is in stunned silence, then sighed. Patricia picks up a sketch book and shows Theo some sketches of witches.)

Patricia - When I was your age, I enjoyed life in Norway, throwing snowballs, exploring caverns, and ice climbing. (Scene ripples to a young Patricia and another young girl head up a hill to go sledding.) however, in life, tragedy can happen when you least expect it. (the two girls notice a copperhead snake, ready to bite Patricia’s leg, but the girl used a twig to get the snake off and land in the snow.)

Girl - How did a snake, a copperhead snake get on your sled, and in a cold environment? (young Patricia shrugs her shoulders.)

Patricia - Me and my friend were lucky, but what really confused us was the snake, cold-blooded animal, shouldn’t be in a cold place. However, as the days pass, many children went missing. When I decided to look for them, I saw something that changed my life.
