Mongol and the Sheep

By Sacagawea and La Reina Sofia
The story is a parody of Beauty and the Beast

One Sentence Description: A beautiful sheep is imprisoned by a lonely Mongol, and the pair fall in love while being entertained by furry hats and bows and arrows that sing and dance.

Casting Suggestions: The movie would be animated so only voice overs are necessary
Sheep: Nikki Blonsky
Mongol: Rob Pattinson
Furry Hat: John Travolta
Bow & Arrow: Christopher Walken
Fortune Teller: Catherine Zeta Jones

Myth: That Mongols descended from sheep.

Scene: A Chinese Fortune Teller tells the Chinese people that the Mongols will overrun them and conquer parts of China, saying that "the Mongol era in world history [will have] two possible results: it [will] cause disruption and resentment." The Fortune Teller says that the only way to stop the Mongols is to rescue the Sheep from the evil Mongol. The Chinese people immediately form a mob and travel to the home of the Mongol and riot outside of it.

Longer Version of the Plot: A lonely Mongol takes an old sheep man captive. His beautiful sheep daughter trades her life for that of her father's and she is held captive by the Mongol man. There, she meets many of the Mongol's possessions, and all of them sing and dance to entertain her. They are led by the Furry Hat and the Bow and Arrow. Eventually the pair fall in love while dancing in a ballroom as the Furry Hat sings (see song lyrics below). The Sheep wears a yellow dress and the Mongol wears a tuxedo. After they fall in love, the Chinese begin to riot, fearing the Mongol take over that could happen if and the Mongol and the Sheep got together. The Mongol is almost killed, but is saved by the Sheep's love, and the pair live on to create a Mongol nation that eventually takes over parts of China.

Lyrics to Mongol and the Sheep (the theme song of the film)
Tale as old as time
True as it can be
Barely even friends
Then somebody bends
Unexpectedly
Just a little change
Small to say the least
Both a little scared
Neither one prepared
Mongol and the Sheep
