(The movie starts as it fades into some snowy mountains at dawn where we see a boy running from some force of danger. Although unknown to us yet, he seems to be 11 years old. His name is Splat, and with speedy acceleration, he continues running as fast as he could while worriedly panting. On the other side, we see a black and white hand touch the wall, turning the entire rock black and white. Splat continues running until he stops at the edge of a cliff. Splat looks down and gasps. Suddenly, an black and white blast nearly hits him but, to his relief, hits the ground instead. Tiny pieces of rock tremble down as Splat turns around and sees The Paint Monster, the threat that our character was running from. Splat is then blasted off the cliff, sending him flying down, screaming.)

Splat: Uhh! Wahhhhh! Ugh!

(Eventually, Splat landed on something, a rocky balcony. But then, Splat is about to slide off of the balcony. However, he hangs onto it.)

Splat: Huh?

(The Paint Monster grins and uses the same black and white blast to shoot Splat off the balcony, sending Splat falling and screaming to his tragic, doomed death.)

Splat: Aghhhh!

(Just as Splat hits the ground and dies, the scene immediately cuts to him waking up from his nightmare in his room.)

Splat: (breathes heavily and sighs) It was only a bad dream.

(Splat looks out his window, getting a view of Paletton.)

Splat: Everything seems fine.

(The background then segues through the window and into the intro as the title of the film fades in.)

PAINT WORLD

(The film's title disappears into paint splotches.)

(We then pan down into the downstairs of a house where Splat and his family live. Splat walks downstairs, kisses his mom, and grabs a box of cereal. The box is revealed to say "Cinnamon Bombs").

Melissa: Good morning, honey.

Splat: Good morning to you too, mom.

(Splat pours the cereal into a white bowl. The scene then cuts to Splat pouring some milk in the bowl. Splat grabs the nearby spoon and begins to eat them. After Splat finishes his cereal, he runs outside.)

Splat: I'll be back, mom!

Melissa: Have a good day, honey!

Part 2: "All the Colors in the World"
Splat: Ah, what a wonderful day here in this beautiful town. (looks at the shining yellow sun at the blue sky) The sun is shining, (looks at the bluebird tweeting at the healthy green tree) the birds are singing, (looks at the green grass) and the grass is green. (looks at the colorful city in Paint World) I love the colors!

(As Splat starts walking towards the city, the song "All the Colors in the World" starts playing. He then started to sing.)

(The lyrics for "All the Colors in the World" are under construction.)

(Splat then stops singing and looks curiously at a black and white building.)

Splat: Hmmm. What is that strange building? I haven't seen a building without colors before.

(He then sees two security guards, a muscular black guy, and a skinny white guy protecting the main entrance for the Black & White Headquarters building. He then goes to talk to them.)

Splat: Excuse me, uh... gentlemen?

(The guards look at Splat.)

Black Guard: What do you want, kid?

Splat: Uh, what... is this... (points at the Black & White Headquarters building) building you're protecting?

White Guard: Why, this is the Black & White Headquarters building. That's where our boss works. His name... is Oldie.

Black Guard: He's seriously immune to bright colors. That's why we're trying to... (gestures to the white guard to finish his sentence)

White Guard:...You know, protect our headquarters from happy rainbow-gazing nutheads like yourself.

Black Guard: Now beat it, kid.

(Splat shrugs. He then walks away from the Black & White Headquarters building. The scene fades to Splat at his house painting a picture of a colorful building.)

Splat: Someone in this world actually hates colors? Like that's ever gonna happen. (looks at the Black & White Headquarters building through the window)

(The scene then zooms to Oldie, in his office walking towards the window. As soon as he unfolds the blinds, his eyes are immediately stung by a flashing light beam. Oldie covers his eyes in pain.)

Oldie: AAAAGGGHHHH!!! My eyes! My beautiful black and white eyes!

(Oldie rushes to his desk to retrieve his pair of sunglasses and returns to the window. He then starts looking at the colorful citizens walking around in the colorful city.)

Oldie: Ugh, those ugly colors. I hate them. Every day, every minute, every hour, every SECOND! My stomach can't even handle itself seeing those dreadful colors. Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet! Ugh! I wish I could just snap my hands and all those dreadful colors would go away!

(Oldie then sits down on his chair and thinks. He then gets an idea.)

Oldie: I know! I shall... no, I can't do that... but wait, is that possible? Then it might... just... WORK!

(He laughs maniacally as the camera zooms out of the Black & White Headquarters. The scene fades to Splat's house, where Splat is painting a picture of a colorful building. Soak comes in to see Splat.)

Soak: Man! That's a colorful picture you've got there, Splat!

Splat: Thanks, Soak! I based it on that boring old black and white building I saw today.

Soak: Oh! I see. Well, keep up the good work.

Splat: Thank you.

(Soak exits Soak's room and Splat continues painting. The scene transitions from Splat's painting to Oldie's B&W headquarters.)

Part 3: B&W Headquarters/"My Plan"
Oldie: Inklings, we're gonna go and take those stupid little colors by surprise and give them some major adjustments. Hand me the remote.

(One of the B&W Squad minions throws a remote to Oldie)

B&W Squad Minion #1: Here you go, boss.

Oldie: Thank you. (He turns away from the minion and clicks the button on the remote. Eventually, he ends up turning on a TV that displays the theme for a brightly colored children's show.)

Oldie: (irritated and angry) Not that remote, you damn idiot! (slaps the minion) I want that remote. (gestures to the remote that's hanging next to the door) Now turn off that wretched piece of dreadful dandruff and hand me that other remote!

B&W Squad Minion #1: (eating popcorn) But this is my favorite show!

Oldie: Do you think I care? Turn it off now!

B&W Squad Minion #1: (eating popcorn) But...

Oldie: Now!

B&W Squad Minion #1: (spits popcorn out) Okay, sheesh!

(B&W Squad Minion #1 turns off the television.)

Oldie: Now, let's try again. Hand me the remote, you idiots.

(Another minion gives him the remote.)

Oldie: Thank you.

(He presses the button on the remote and the large color-erasing monster is revealed.)

Minions: Oooooh! Aaah!

(As the B&W Squad minions gaze at Oldie's new creation, the song "My Plan" starts playing. Oldie then started to sing.)

Oldie: (speaking) I can see you are confused. I shall illuminate the possibilities!

(singing) Seize the good times!

Too bad they never last.

Ah, yes, these were the good times hope you liked them, little friends.

'Cause here is where the good times most decidedly must end.

I have a plan. A giant plan. An evil dirty dreadful plan.

A plan that takes all the colors in the land...and throws them away!

This is...The Paint Monster!

He can shoot a black & white blast.

Erases all colors from the target, it's a simple plan.

When we remove the fancy reds, and the blues and yellows, and now let's repossess the rest. This is the best!

I have a plan. A giant plan.

A plan that takes all the colors in the land, in the world, on the earth!

And throws them all away.

Once they was proud.

Once they was fine.

The very model of a wonderful design.

But such is fate.

Too bad, tsk-tsk.

I guess you have to learn the hard way.

We bring some risk!

I have a plan. A crazy plan.

A plan that takes all the colors in the land, in the world, on the earth, on the planet, in the universe!

(speaking) I want them neutralized!

(singing) I have a plan!

(As the song ends, one minion raises his hand.)

Oldie: Yes?

Minion #3: When are we going to use it?

Oldie: In a few days, my friend. In a few days.

(Oldie and his minions laugh maniacally as the scene slowly fades out.)

Part 4: Splat meets Tone
(The scene fades to Splat painting a picture of the city. While studying the various sizes of the buildings, he sees someone coming out of the Paint World Art Store; a red-headed girl named Tone.)

Splat: Hello there.

(Tone turns around)

Tone: Oh, hello. How are you?

Splat: I'm doing good. What are those?

Tone: These are art supplies I bought from the store. (points towards the art store and looks back to Deon) Do you like art?

Deon: Well, yes.

Tone: No way! Me too! I'm Tone, Tone GaColor.

Splat: (while shaking hands with Tone) Nice to meet you. My name is Deon Splatt.

Tone: I was thinking about starting another art project. Would you like to help?

Splat: Yeah, I would--

(A drop of ink lands on the sidewalk. Tone and Deon look up at the sky, towards the Black & White Headquarters building. A small cloud pops out from the chimney, followed by several more.)

Splat: What is that?

(A large TV screen comes out of the building from the top. The TV screen then gets turned on and the screen reveals Gerry inside his lair.)

Splat: Oh my!

Tone: My god!

Oldie (on the TV screen): Citizens of Paletton...

Splat: Is...that...the same black and white building I saw last night?

Tone: I don't know...

Oldie: I am here to remind you that in a few days, you will need to move to Black-and-White Town because I will remove every last color... with my Paint Monster.

Minion #1: Did they get the message, boss?

Oldie: Of course they got the message, imbecile!

(The TV screen is later turned off and goes back inside the building.)

Splat: That's the monster that I saw in my nightmare!

Tone: This is terrible! I've got to go tell my family the bad news.

(Tone runs to her house. Splat turns to go to his house.)

Part 5: "When There's a Problem"/Up at Mellow Mountain
Splat: That Oldie guy. Taking away colors is...just borderline WRONG! There's a problem here.

(The song "When There's a Problem" starts playing. Splat starts singing.)

(The lyrics for the song "When There's a Problem" is under construction)

(After the song ends, the scene fades to Splat on a yellow mountain.)

Splat: Oh, Mellow Mountain. I'm terrified of the idea that you will be turned into a black and white nightmare mountain. (He sits on a rock that is hanging on a side of Mellow Mountain, which breaks off.) Ooh! (He gets out the rock.) Well, see you tomorrow, Mellow Mountain.

(Splat begins to walk away, when all of a sudden, a explosion happens next to him. Splat turns and sees a big crater in Mellow Mountain.)

More coming soon!
