    When a town is attacked by a bunch of pirates, a young blacksmith must take help by a drunken pirate to save the love of his life.

    You capture the essence very beautifully, and I like that you realised Will Turner is the protagonist. The only thing I might add is that Elizabeth getting kidnapped is written into the pirate attack.

    After getting a stuffed yak as a birthday present, a young Tibetan girl discovers that it turns into a real one.

    Fantasy or Comedy? ... Made me laugh! :) "a young Tibetan girl" = protagonist "stuffed yak transforms into a real one" = inciting incident What might be the main character's goal? If we unpack Pinocchio, here we have a toy, transforming into a real one, but it is the story of the toy's misadventuresRead more

    Fantasy or Comedy? … Made me laugh! 🙂

    “a young Tibetan girl” = protagonist

    “stuffed yak transforms into a real one” = inciting incident

    What might be the main character’s goal?

    If we unpack Pinocchio, here we have a toy, transforming into a real one, but it is the story of the toy’s misadventures. Or then there’s ‘Pygmalion and Galatea’, a love story, where a sculpture transforms into a real, beautiful woman.

    While ‘Tibetan’ has cultural stereotypes, such as the practice of Buddhism, another suggestion might be to additionally reflect on the psychology of the girl. A single adjective, such as shy, courage, or intelligent, could give a clue as to how she might react to the unfolding adventures before her.
