    The pro-justice covert rodent group, Anonymouse, hacks the Rat Mob?s plans, but when the Rats get wind of the hackers the mice must scurry underground to prevent the rat mobsters from following through on their nefarious baby mouse smuggling ring.

    Lay off the mouse, rat stuff. The story needs to work without it. Sure, the concept of an animated mouse/rat cyber/hacker thing is great. But "just because it's animated mice" won't save a poor story (See, Dreamworks vs. pixar). I'm sure you've put in the hard-yards and your story is great. Just worRead more

    Lay off the mouse, rat stuff. The story needs to work without it. Sure, the concept of an animated mouse/rat cyber/hacker thing is great. But “just because it’s animated mice” won’t save a poor story
    (See, Dreamworks vs. pixar).
    I’m sure you’ve put in the hard-yards and your story is great. Just work on your logline.
    “A group of computer-hacking mice must prevent a team of rat mobsters from mouse-trafficking [or else…]”
    Gets the story, and your Unique Selling Point across.
    Instead of ramming “IT’S ANIMATED MICE AND RATS” down their throat, the reader says “Wait? Is this… like actual, animated mice, and rats? TELL ME MORE!” And your foot is in the door (send them your one page synopsis. If they like that, they’ll ask for the script!)

    Second point… you’ve got an ensemble piece here. Which is OK. Indeed. Fine. But… you *may* find it easier to focus on one character hero. remember Ratatoille (sorry, but it’s what came to mind.). It wasn’t “A team of rats help a chef”, it was “ONE RAT… helps ONE CHEF….”.

    Rattus Bickle? (No. Not funny, TOASTMAN, Stick to what you’re good at)

    OK, think of it this way. A group of mice must save some baby mice. Sounds “Meh”

    OK. Now, “SARAH mouse, must save HER BABY BROTHER BOBBY MOUSE, from evil rats or he’ll BECOME A SLAVE” – More powerful and emotive, yeah?

    As always, listen to RicheV. He has the number “668” next to his name, not because he lives next door to The Beast, it’s because he reads a lot of these, and tends to know what he’s talking about.

    After he?s mislead and rejected by a straight guy, a frustrated, angry, gay man struggles to regain his personal power by trying to control, bed and degrade a straight hustler with a dangerous drug addiction.

    Again, stakes need to be higher. What does he lose. His dignity? That might not be enough for a film. If he's in danger of losing his *family*, or his *life*.... better. But even "risks losing his job" is pretty stank for a film these days.

    When a 13th century timewarp swallows a disillusioned mathamatician in the middle of his calculus exam, he is stranded by time, with 20 minutes left to finish the test he must calculate the years and circumnavigate fate in his final answer.

    I'd love to see a film with lots of maths in it. I love maths.
