DEVELOPED TREATMENT:
Location: Creepy moonlit attic- modeled in 3D and mainly dark, with dramatic moonlight, streaks of light coming up through the floorboards and the red glow of an immersion heater.
We see a 1970's child's cot. The painted wooden variety that has a large pony/fawn transfer image at one end. The transfer can change into the title sequence/logo of the Jeremy Kyle show. In the moonlight the cot looks like a jail.Inside the cot jail is the broken piggy bank, cuddled by his bereft friend 'He-Man'. The Robot is in there too, investigating the 'crime scene'. (In Jeremy Kyle's voice) "I'm trying to get to the bottom of this! Don't blame me!!"The Robot's blue flashing light sweeps across the scene.The 'Guess Who’ jury look on from outside the bars. Jeering and heckling. He-Man kneels, cradling the dead pig. Distraught with grief He-Man accuses the Sylvanian Family "Ya miserable yer feeves!!!".Horrified at the accusation the Sylvanian family defends itself "We're not feeves!"He-Man retorts "Yes yer are!"Suspended above the scene, clipped to an old cot mobile, swings an abused, half burnt troll doll - who bellows pointing at one of the Sylvanian Family "SHE WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO KNEW WHERE THE MONEY WAS!!!!”In the distance, high up on a wardrobe, illuminated by the moonlight, is an old wind up jewelry box. We see a beautiful ballerina, twirling to the tinkling chime of a music box.She carries an air of calm and beauty. As the music box winds down, the twinkly sound slows to a macabre creepy melody and as we zoom focus in on the ballerina. Close up, all is not as it seems. Well past her glory days, she has become a mean old hoarder, who has stuffed her jewelry box full of treasures, and the contents of the piggy bank.Camera zooms in (maybe anamorphic?). Illuminated by light streaming up through the floorboards she looks menacing and evil. As she twirls round she casts her eye towards the troll doll.Twirling on the mobile the troll doll turns towards the ballerina and grins. The 'killer' couple get away with the crime.Madness continues in the cot - credits roll!
