-----------------------------
Actually this is the 2nd draft, the first draft, our lecturer asked us "Where did fox got more paper to make more paper planes?" I was slightly dumbfounded as I really never thought of that question before we created that scene's scenario. To me, seems like anything is possible in Rainbowland (The place where our characters lived in). We then settled that there was a pile of newspaper somewhere at the playground. However, after a few deliberations, I thought that children would thought that real paper planes can slice off trees and hence, they would actually make more.. So, after letting my group members know about my opinion, our decision is that we want to change the paper planes scene to drawing papers.
In out first draft, we were lacking on the entertainment value, so in this 2nd draft we added more "quirky" situations to exaggerate the scene.
As for scene 2, children might not be able to relate to real life work, so we've decided to change the vending machine's actions. Possible actions that we've discussed would be,
1. throwing tantrums.
2. crying and flooding the place.
In scene 4, initially we concluded that Uncle turtle would be dead (because we are trying to relate to real life situations).. but I think it is too much of a shock for children because children can't relate to death yet at an early age. So, we have yet to change that part to a better action.
