Title: The Official HTGTH Concept Album Story Thread! [MUST READ]
Post by: themovieaddict.com on September 13, 2006, 10:30:28 PM
Okay, I don't think anything like this has been done before. That may be (A) because it's so brilliant no one has ever attempted it or (B) I have way too much time on my hands and have a few nuts loose in my head.

Anyway my story involving the Perservering Magical Dolphins of the 4th Dimension and the Trial of the Caterpillars from Mars got me to thinking. Let's start a very special HTGTH concept album story! This is how it works. ALL OF US contribute to this thread providing ideas for a concept album. You can contribute lyrics, stories, character sketches, whatever! I already posted the basic outline in the other thread:

Quote
Pippin is the name of the short but lovable pal of the aphrodite, who is on trial for the brutal slaying of the Dolphins of the 4th Dimension, a group of free-roaming, kid-friendly magical creatures who embark on annual quests to bring snowfall to the mountains of Lake Denyzine on Planet Ostriton. On their last journey the aphrodite is framed for the murder of Barry Bostlethwaite, Grand Ruler of the 4th Dimension, as well as the slaying of the Dolphins who had just arrived and accidentally stumbled upon the murder as it was taking place. So the beloved hero returns to Mars where he is arrested and put before the Judge and the Fury. Pippin returns from the Xenathreb Region to help his friend escape from the damning trial involving the slayed dolphins, but the twist at the end is that Pippin is the one who framed his friend o begin with. He is brutally stabbed to death towards the close by Mr. Frog, the prosecutor who begins to question his own moral obligations as he finds himself lured into the seedy underworld of death and betrayal. The surprise ending is when Axl bellows "If we can all trust each other, perhaps in the end we can once again LOOOOOOVVVEEE" and then you hear the Dolphins begin to regenerate. The power of the 4th Dimension surges through everyone, causing a massive sound effect wherein all life is refreshed. The Dolphins are once again alive, and the Caterpillars are put on trial for joining on the conspiracy with Pippin, when it is revealed by the narrator (voice of Tim Allen) that they helped Pippin frame the aphrodite. You see, Pippin had illegal business dealings with Barry Bostlethwaite, and when the Grand Ruler decided to come clean and expose Pippin, he had to kill him. The Dolphins of the 4th Dimension accidentally walked in on Pippin as he was doing the deed, so he shot them with a 4-x Pulse Churner (highly lethal weapon), then framed the murder on his friend the aphrodite.

So let's start filling in the pieces. Start at the beginning, develop the story. Then start to put together lyrics for songs involving these events. Then, maybe some of the more talented musicians on this forum can record the songs, and we can release an official HTGTH concept album! We can maybe even get Axl Rose's attention and have him help us distribute it.

So come on everybody! Join in on the Super Spectacular Event of the (Post) Summer! It's going to be a kick-start sphincter, baby!

(B) I have way too much time on my hands and have a few nuts loose in my head.

You got that right, Pippin.

Well it sounded like a good idea at the time.

I still think it is a good idea!

Pippin has potential.

How about Pippin fighting for Mercury power?

Hmm, yes. I like this idea.

What if there was an alternate reality in which Pippin is good and the good Pippin crosses through a black hole into the other universe, to battle his alter-ego who is the bad guy who kills the Magical Dolphins of the 4th Dimension?

Maybe at the very end Good Pippin intervenes and saves the day, then causes the universes to combine as one, and in the alternate GOOD universe - where the Dolphins were never killed because Pippin is good - it becomes one and the Dolphins are alive again and everyone is happy!

The Mercury Power is a purple orb located within the heart of the Xanitor Complex, guarded by the ferocious Lord Dextron?

Why is Pippin trying to rescue the aphrodite when he framed him in the first place?

I like the idea too.

Well Pippin [the evil Pippin that is] comes back to defend the aphrodite in court to make it seem like he is supporting his friend, when in fact he's just using it as an advantage to get close to the aphrodite during the trial and potentially learn what the defense is planning on presenting to the jury so he can tip-off the prosector anonymously in advance, thereby destroying the defense's argument.

I like that, but I don't think it needs him tipping off the prosecutor.? Evil Pippin should give him a really weak defense and ignore vital evidence.? The Good Pippin (if we're going with that idea) should find some evidence which proves the aphrodite's innocence - maybe an eyewitness account, maybe some kind of magical glass ball that can project any event in the universe onto screen.? Only evil Pippin knows about this evidence and 1 other person (eyewitness?? carrier of glass ball? etc..) who has gone into hiding from the caterpillers.? Good Pippin (not sure if I like him :-\) goes searching for this other person (oooh! maybe it's a really hot girl!) and eventually finds her/him, then they make their way to the trial.

When Axl makes his cameo, can he appear in the clouds Mufasa style?  Think Monty Python cartoon. :rofl:

Okay, fuck Good Pippin. I'm bored with him.

Evil Pippin is better. The dolphins need to stay dead anyway.

So instead of the whole alternate universe thing we'll just have a musical interlude where a furry caterpillar questions his morals?

Okay. How about Julez Caeser the Flexible Tuna? His magical power is the ability to render all matter motionless for 0.0001 seconds.
