Odysseus Is A Crybaby

Penelope has roller skates, pluck, and a movie trailer.

5pm. Marcy and Penelope strut into the apartment with their tails swinging. They are deeply disgruntled.

Cynthia:  So how was The Odyssey?

Marcy:  Grim.

penelope kitten (squeaking) gloomy.

Marcy:  Gray.

penelope kitten:  too many men.

Marcy:  Too many men wearing sandals. And … get this. No cats!

penelope kitten:  not even one.

Cynthia:  Oh no! It was supposed to be an epic adventure!

Marcy (disgusted) Odysseus is a crybaby.

Cynthia:  I guess … I’d cry too if I was wearing inappropriate footwear in battle?

penelope kitten (agreeing):  lots of stubbed toes.

Cynthia:  How does The Odyssey compare to your book, PK?

penelope kitten:  my epic adventure is more epic-y. it’s got gumption. and humor. and pluck.

Cynthia:  And roller skates!

penelope kitten:  hey hey, i’m gonna make my own movie. i’m gonna start with the trailer.

Penelope scampers off.  Marcy follows.

Cynthia:  Oh Marcy, are you going to help PK with her movie? That’s so sweet.

Marcy:  No. I’m filing a lawsuit against Christopher Nolan and his costumer. My eyes are permanently scarred from watching two and a half hours of huge man feet in my face. I want compensation.

The next morning Penelope projects her very first trailer onto the apartment courtyard wall.

penelope kitten (squeaking) volume up for epic sound! and  5 … 4 … 3 …

(silently while gesturing with her paw):  2 … 1 …

 

Check out Penelope’s epic adventure which is waaaay better than The Odyssey!

↓↓↓

Well, it’s unquestionably quirky and weirdly wonderful and jam packed with bravery and peril and friends and fun!

In a coast-to-coast race against time,

Penelope Kitten can’t stop, won’t stop…

except for snacks, of course.

When Penelope gets invited to squeak speak at the black cat Cross Your Path Convention, she’s positively pumped. Then she discovers that the heinous Hubert Hedgehog plans to crash the party and destroy everything with his hedgehog fund.

In this not-so-tall tale of fur, fins, flippers, and feathers, Penelope must race from Los Angeles to Salem, Massachusetts to stop Hubert, but since she can’t fly, she goes the long way, and sometimes the wrong way. Yet along the way she befriends all kinds of critters, from crazy condors to gung-ho gators to daffy dolphins.

Penelope Kitten’s Epic Adventure (with cheese) is the adventure of a lifetime.

Make that nine lifetimes.

    Thanks for the Odyssey review you guys. I’ll strike it off my list of things to see. Nothing uglier than men’s hairy feet.
    LOVED the trailer! Please start working on the screenplay. As I was reading your Epic Adventure I kept thinking what a great movie it would make!!
