My Little World Trailer

My Little World Trailer

My Little World is a work-in-progress hand-drawn animation theatrical feature, independently produced, in production since 2000 and currently with a tentative completion date set for spring/summer 2013. (That’s dedication!!) The film is directed by animator Mike Nguyen behind the animation of “Belle” for Disney’s Beauty and the Beast along with a list of many other loveable characters for films like The Rescuer’s Down Under, The Little Mermaid, Space Jam, and The Iron Giant. Here’s a synopsis of his animated film:

BLUE is a young boy who is overwhelmed by a certain sadness. To help him recover, his family sends him to visit his aunt for the summer. Here in a quiet country town, Blue looks to calm his restlessness. He is shy and withdrawn, but soon finds himself in the company of new friends, in particular a little girl named Tiny.

TINY is younger but very independent. Her infinite curiousity about nature and the world around her is contagious, especially to Blue. Through her eyes, Blue is reacquainted with the sky that stretches on forever and all the grandness from simple, ordinary, everyday life.

One day, through a casual soccer match with the Town Kids, led by Princess, Blue exposes his extraordinary soccer skill. Impressed by his talent, the Town Kids are drawn to Blue, and welcome him into the group. Feeling introverted and uneasy, Blue tries to detach. But in a town that lives and breathes soccer, Blue quickly finds himself entangled.

With bolstered confidence from their new team member, the Town Kids stage a run for the championship in a local self-made soccer tournament, hoping to dethrone the undisputed champ Buffalo Boys. The game is played wherever there are children: amongst the trees, up the mountain, on a riverbank, and even in a submerged rice field, having to dart in between wallowing water buffaloes.

On a magical night under the stars, Blue is finally able to let go of his hurt and embrace life in all its beauty. The summer ends in a climactic soccer match with the entire town cheering on. Blue has found himself in an ever larger circle of friends. In the end, he returns home with a new understanding, and his life remains changed forever.

Now that i am on my way
Coulda Woulda Shoulda stop around
i bet you never thought you will ever see the day
Coulda Woulda Shoulda stop around
i told you so i told you so
Coulda Woulda Shoulda stop around
whatever is cool we all make mistakes
but no more .. break it down

dance a few nights .. met you let’s just say .. my best interest at home
from the start it was not then i want .. she gone
lay off guard … it was on
never swear you are in trouble now
how ever thought the guy hustle
i take some blame i can’t take all
cause when .. smile is a complement
tell me please tell me help me i am just …
is it my phone a little last …
it’s a shame nowadays i got to question folks
one speaking .. expression …

chorus
Now that i am on my way
Coulda Woulda Shoulda stop around
i bet you never thought you will ever see the day
Coulda Woulda Shoulda stop around
i told you so i told you so
Coulda Woulda Shoulda stop around
whatever is cool we all make mistakes
but no more .. break it down

don’t you call me when you are done
don’t you call me when you are done
don’t you call me when you are done

whatever have to .. call a magician
.. baby it’s just a part of life

she see me as an opportunity … leaving with somebody else
sh ain’t eve leave when she got really bad
