Storyboard

- We see a long shot of Ranga's Meat Shop in the Jungle

- we go into the meat shop where we see a wall filled with pictures of generations of TIGER butchers that have owned this shop and we see a picture of the current ownder

- A LARGE TIGER is cutting meat with a big chopping knife, his back is turned to A YOUNGER VERSION OF HIM, HIS SON

- we see THE SON looking back to see if his dad is looking and then he goes back to what he was doing

- we see the boy making a small sculpture out of clay

- THE FATHER TIGER TURNS TO HIS SON

--(THIS IS A NEW SHOT) THE SON quickly puts his sculpture away

- THE FATHER APPROACHES THE SON WITH A LEG OF ZEBRA and lays it on the table in front of the boy

- HE HANDS the knife over to the boy

- THE BOY FROWNS -- POUTS AND SIGHS

- A DREAM APPEARS ABOVE HIS HEAD (we see his dream in 2d/3d cell shaded above his head) he is showing his dad his sculpture, his dad gets mad and cuts his dream in half. The dream vanishes)

- the boy gulps
-THE BOY LOOKS AT THE ZEBRA MEAT IN FRONT OF HIM

- he moves his hand up in preparation to cut, the knife flies out of his hand and gets stuck on the wall behind him BARELY MISSING HIS FATHER

-SON BACKS UP --AFRAID AND OPENS FRIDGE
CLOSE UP PAN OF FRIDGE SHELF WITH ROWS OF CLAY BUSTS

- INTERCUT CLOSE UP DAD'S FACE----
he looks even more angry and starts throwing all the little sculptures out

- boy still squeamish as dad keeps throwing the sculptures out

- he stops his dad and shows him the big sculpture he made of his dad behind the little sculptures

- close up of boy's face as he waits to see what his father's reaction, he has a big smile on his face

- cut to dad's face -- his anger turns to puzzlement

- we see a little cloud appears above the dads head, (we see a younger version of him,
pouty, we see the hands of his father handing him a knife. he looks at the picture on the table next to him of a tiger in the circus, then looks at the meat in front of him and sighs) his dreams dissappears

- the dad smiles and pats his son on the head

- he picks up the meat sculpture

- scene fades

- mid Shot of Ranga's meat shop -- in the window we see the dad's sculpture along with al the other little meat sculptures. There's a sign in the window that says "BEST MEAT SCULPTURES IN ALL THE LAND"

-- the end
