O Girl of a Dream: A Beauty and the Beast Tale: The Animated Short Film Screenplay

If only Carl Sandburg lived to see his poem, “A Dream Girl” from Chicago Poems, inspire an animated short film! The South Pole's most popular film director, Jim Penguindóvar, is writing another hit movie starring his muse, the famous actress Penelope. This time, he is taking on Beauty and the Beast with a major difference: the real curse lies in possessing beauty. The animated film’s story raises awareness of PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) with the movie within a movie, using the fairy tale theme of being trapped in a permanent nightmare.
