Screenplays: the Shorts-Brotherhood at World's End



Before a discussion of these short screenplays begins, I must thank Rocket House Studio. Rocket House, thank you!
The four screenplays to follow were written for stop-motion animated shorts. That's right, the actors are animated characters. GI Joe dolls and Barbies namely.

“Brotherhood at World's End”

This short, in the spirit of “Pastrami of Rye” has only two characters and one scene. These two characters, Henry and Waldo, are trapped inside at world's end. Their desperate story is the fall of human civilization and the weight of perpetuating culture as machines. Their story in a snippet:
Henry: Tell me about human being.
Waldo: In the beginning there was human being. Human being was wonderful, human being was reason and human being was light. Human being made me, and I made you, brother.
