Good Writing Is Hard Work: Parrot Soup

Presenting Parrot Soup: Desperate Men (Season Two Episode Two)

Featuring Kid Kadra, as Captain Kid Kadra

Writing good dialog is hard work. If you don't believe us, just try it some time. Lauren Bacall's clip from the classic Humphrey Bogart movie To Have and Have Not nicely sums up the model of script writing we strive for: short, terse, concise, to the point! Sometimes the best dialog is no dialog at all, like when Bogey puts his lips together and whistles. As they say, silence is golden.

We'd love to know what you think of the series. If you have any suggestions for plot lines pass them along as well. These animated cartoons may look simple, but writing good dialogue is hard work! If you don't think so, just try it some time.

The Pirate Parrot Aboo

Parrot Soup: A Pandemonium of Parrots and Pirates

Deadly drama and swashbuckling adventure on the High Seas. Kid Kadra, captain of the pirate ship The Alligator and his Bosun Bubba both find the pirate treasure on the desert island, enough treasure for a king's ransom! Will Captain Kadra get back on board his ship with the treasure? Will Bosun Bubba become shark bait? Will the Pirate Parrot Aboo become the new captain of The Alligator? Stay tuned!

We love the word Pandemonium! One of our favorite words. Just as a flock of crows is called a Murder of crows, a flock of parrots has been called a Pandemonium of parrots. Anyone with a flock of parrots in their home understands just how appropriate this term is.

The term Pandemonium, first used in 1667, comes from John Milton's Paradise Lost, published in 1667. Pandemonium was the capital of Milton's Hell. Anyone living with a flock of parrots as we do sometimes feels they are trapped in the very bowels of Hell itself!

Parrot Soup: Episode 3, Treasure Hunt

Bosun Bubba and Second Mate Sammy have been dispatched to the desert island by the Pirate Parrot Aboo to find the buried treasure before Captain Kid Kadra and First Mate Roxanne can find it. They've found the cursed cave where the treasure was buried. If they find the treasure they'll have to deal with Captain Kadra and Roxanne. If they don't find the treasure, they'll have to deal with the Pirate Parrot Aboo. Which of them will face the dangers lurking in the cursed cave? Will they find their fortune? Or meet their cruel fate? Stay tuned!
