M ar ke t Po si tioning:
Market positioning:
This animated series positions itself in between the already popular
trend of redneck comedy and the recent trend of animated buddy
comedies, which are currently being sought after and developed by
major networks. The characters are original yet familiar (A redneck
monkey and his bear brother?), and the story engine is a different
angle of the familiar Genie story. Ideas for interactive marketing
elements could be: The Wish-O-Meter contest where viewers submit
their own wishes to be featured in an episode or on the season finale.
The best duck tape picture contest where viewers submit a picture
of creative ways to use duck tape. And the creative pa-taters contest
where viewers submit a creative recipe or invention for taters, to
name a few...

lo gline
What happens when two goofy redneck brothers named BUBBA JO
W ISH-O-METER
and BUBBA DEAN discover an evil Genie named BEANIE in the
happy-go-lucky world of BELLY ACRES? Mayhem of course! What
else could happen in a series of wacky-wish-gone-wrong adventures
with an endless supply of duck tape and pa-taters?

Premise
Belly Acres is about loving your family, being thankful for your friends,
and appreciating what you have. When you curiously discover the
magic in life and find a fun-filled adventure in everything you do, you
30
realize the grass isn’t always greener on the other side of the fence.

Sy nops is:
Happy is as happy does down on Belly Acres! But when two redneck brothers
Bubba Jo and Bubba Dean find a magical ol’ tin can of pork-n-beans in a crate by
the railroad tracks and out pops a semi-evil Genie, of course, mayhem ensues…
Imprisoned long ago by his previous master, Larry the Pork Bean King of Chicago,
the Genie must now grant a total of 30 wishes, instead of 3, to his new master in
order to be set free.

But Bubba Jo and Bubba Dean welcome the semi-evil Genie as a newfound friend
into the family and fondly nickname him Cousin Beanie. Yes the two Bubbas are true
rednecks to the core through-and-through. They really don’t want the wishes, they
just want to have fun, laugh, play around and be happy. Bubba Jo has a fascination
with anything that has to do with pa-taters, and Bubba Dean likes to fix and build
stuff with duck-tape or whatever else is lying around! In fact, everyone living down on
Belly Acres is happy to have a new friend, and they all just love Beanie to death and
consider him as kinfolk, which of course irritates the heck out of Beanie.

With his Wish-O-Meter now reset to 30 wishes, Beanie must coax, or trick, the good-
natured Bubbas into wishing for things whether they want to or not.

Thanks to Beanie’s semi-evil scheme, the entire Belly Acres clan experiences one
wacky-wish-gone-wrong adventure after another. But at the end of the day, the
Bubbas and the rest of the Belly Acre clan are glad to be together like one big happy
family, well sort of.

Bubb a Jo
Bro the r

Catch phrase: TATERS!!! (How it’s said changes with his emotion.)

Bubba Jo is a pa-tater fanatic who just loves to laugh and have fun. He’s so clumsy that he couldn’t hit the
ground once if he fell twice and is always up for sumthin’, even if it’s a little dangerous or just plain whopper-
jawed crazy.

Bubba Jo loves to play with his brother’s thingamabobs, and he puts his all into everything he does, which to
his simpleton little mind never seems to be enough.

Bubb a De a n, I I I
B ro t h e r

Catch phrase: Just plain Whopper-Jawed
or Twanglefusted!
Bubba Dean is an avid monster-truck enthusiast and a flatulent bean-eating aficionado. He’s a handier
than a pocket on a t-shirt when it comes to fixin’ things that are just plain twanglefusted, or at least so
he thinks!

Bubba Dean is totally OCD (Obsessively Constructin’ with Duck tape) and is happiest when he’s fixin’-
ana-buildin’ things whether they need a fixin’-ana-buildin’ or not. He always keeps a roll of duck tape
handy in back trousers pocket and will jerry-bob or jimmy-rig most anything if he gets the chance.

He just has the plain know-how to do “gitter-dumb” in typical redneck style.

Cousin Beanie

Catch Phrase: - Ish-biddley-otten-dotten-ba-ba-ska-
deetten-datten!
Ten Thousands years old, Beanie is a vain, selfish, sarcastic, overconfident, cynical semi-evil Genie who hates
most everything, or anyone, and would kick a bucket of puppies if he had the chance. Problem is, he can’t be as
evil as he wants to be until he’s freed from the spell that binds him to his new masters, which will only happen
when he grants them “all 30 wishes”.

Beanies only desire is to be set free from his spell, and the only thing on his mind is how he can coax, or trick,
the idiots who found him into wishing for all 30 wishes before they drive him crazy.

But when the wishes backfire on him, as they always seem to do, one after the other, he learns from his blunders,
or at least he says he does.

Staggz
Catch Phrase: Any random TV or movie
line, e.g. You lookin’ at me? Lucy, I’m
home! I’ll be back!
A real recluse, Staggz is a simple-minded deer that doesn’t get
out much. He has a one-track mind and spends most of his time
with his head stuck through a hole in the Bubbas’ trailer house wall
watching TV.

Staggz watches so much TV in fact that he’s a walking TV guide
who speaks in TV sitcom and movie clichés. But whenever a wish
goes awry, he always jumps into middle of things hooves deep
and tries to help the Bubbas make it right, at least for as long
as his attention span will let him, which is about the length of a
commercial. I’ll be back in 2-n-2…

Bigfoot
Catch Phrase: OOGA-BOOGA!
(In a cute little girl’s squeaky voice)
Bigfoot is a “cute and cuddly”, giant-sized wild girl-foot named Betty. And like any
self-respecting girl, she likes to wear the latest fashions in loincloths, makeup,
perfume, hair products, and toenail polish.

Betty is a lonely, shy, elusive girl-foot that has a secret crush on Bubba Dean.
She bangs on trees and grunts to communicate and swings through trees to
get around.

And whenever she gets a chance, she secretly helps the Bubbas while spying
on her one and only true love, Bubba Dean, who thinks Bigfoot is stalking and
trying to eat him.

St o r y Eng ine :

All Bubba Jo ever wants to do is have fun, and most times that means doing

something stupid or dangerous. Taking advantage of Bubba Jo’s insatiable hunger

for excitement and naive ability to throw caution to the wind, Beanie can always find

a way to trick Bubba Jo into wishing for something ridiculous.

Of course Bubba Dean and the rest of Belly Acres clan always suffer the consequences

of his mindless actions. Why? Because Beanie is a semi-evil Genie bent on semi-evil

Genie domination, that’s why! But Bubba Dean with his knack for fixing things always

comes to the rescue of his silly hilly-billy brother and the rest of Belly Acre clan.

Bubba Deans endless supply of duck tape and other impractical tools aren’t really

going to fix the problem at hand, but just as good fortune would have it, a solution

seems to pop up out of nowhere. So with a little gitter-dumb luck, lots of laughs and

fun for everyone, the Bubbas turn Belly Acres back into the happiest place on earth.

However, the wish usually backfires on Beanie, teaching him a little lesson in humility.

But does Beanie ever learn? Heck no! Each episode brings with it one big wacky-

wish-gone-wrong adventure after another, and it always comes back to bite Beanie

in the butt.

Episode Springboards

Tater-Chunkin’ Time
It’s Belly Acres’ 1st Annual Pa-tater Chunkin’ Contest, and the Bubbas can’t wait to enter the competition.
Beanie tricks the brothers into wishing for a spuds-zooka pa-tater cannon, and things quickly get out
of hand.

All this tater-chunkin’ power goes straight to Bubba Jo’s head, and he goes berserk, launching taters
into the air everywhere, creating tater-sized craters all over Belly Acres. But when Bubba Dean gets hit
in the noggin by a stray tater, he comes to his senses and realizes that Beanie has pulled a fast one
on them.

Unfortunately it might be too late! Bubba Jo has become a tater-chunkin’ maniac. In order to defend
the family honor and get him to stop, Bubba Dean must use his quick wit and duck taping skills to get
rid of all the taters and tater sized craters before Bubba Jo does anymore damage to Belly Acres and
unfairly wins the contest.

I Wish It Were Monday
However, the Bubbas didn’t say which Monday, and poof, Beanie sneakily sends them back to a Monday in the 1600’s.

When the Bubbas meet King Arthur, in typical gitter-dumb style, they are knighted as the kingdom’s duck tape knights of
the tater table, defenders of taters everywhere. Of course, they must battle in the name of the Tater King and his court
against the Evil Black Tater Knight to save his daughter and damsel in distress, the Tater Princess.

Will the Bubbas use another wish to get back to their own time, or will Bubba Dean use his quick wit and duck taping
skills to trick Beanie into sending them back; and which Monday in time will it be this time?

Tater Warp
When the Bubbas visit Belly Acres’ new amusement theme park “Tater World”, they find out that they
are not old enough to ride on the most wickedly awesome extreme ride of all time, the super tater-coaster
“Spuds-zilla.”

When Bubba Jo makes the mistake of wishing he were older, (Ish-biddley-otten-dotten-ba-ba-ska-deetten-
datten!), poof, Beanie is quick to obey his command. But unfortunately everyone in Belly Acres is affected by
the wish and gets older, too!

In typical gitter-dumb style, the two taters are under Beanie’s magical spell, and they ride Spuds-zilla thousands
of times. Exhausted and flatulent from old age, Bubba Dean begins to realize what’s going on when Belly
Acres is not the lovey-dovey, fun and happy place he remembers. It’s just full of old farty, tired, grumpy pants,
including themselves.

Will the Bubbas use a wish to make everyone young again, or will they set out on a crotchety old adventure of
an old people kind to find the legendary Tater Salad of Youth?

Spuds Bowl
Tater-Ball season is here, and Bubba Jo, the biggest tater of them all,
can’t wait!

A gigantic tater-ball fanatic, he’s always wanted to win the highly
coveted diamond encrusted Golden Tater Peeler, and the only way to
do it is to play for a pro-tater team during the Super Spuds Bowl.

Thanks to Beanie, poof, Bubba Jo gets his wish, and with Bubba Dean
as his coach, the two taters are able to pull off the biggest upset in
tater-ball history.

They win the Super Spuds Bowl and the highly coveted diamond
encrusted Golden Tater Peeler, and in typical gitter-dumb style, they
do it with lots of fun, duck tape and a simple pa-tater dream. But not
without giving Beanie a good mashed pa-tater whoopin’ first.

Evil Has a Name “Mommy”
Beanie’s evil mommy Genie is coming for a visit, but he’s told her a little fib, well, maybe a big fib; that he’s the absolute ruler of Belly
Acres. Desperate for the Bubbas’ help, Beanie offers them as many wishes as they want if they’ll only help him get out of trouble
just this one time, again...

Can the Bubbas and their gitter-dumb clan help transform Belly Acres into a desolate, sad and lonely place where Beanie is the
oppressive ruler before his evil mommy Genie arrives? And what is an evil mommy Genie to do when she finds out that Beanie has
offered the Bubbas more wishes than he was supposed to?

Oops! Looks like someone’s been a bad semi-evil Genie and is going to get a spanking.

In the Navy
While staring at the stars one night, Bubba Jo wishes he could sail the Seven Seas. Beanie overhears his every word, and poof, the
Bubbas get shanghaied into “The King’s” Navy (Think French Elvis type of character.) and end up working in the kitchen with the
infamous French chef, Le-Pooface.

Chef Le-Pooface gives them every stinkin’ job in the book, even swabbing the “poop” deck, but the Bubbas love working, especially
in the kitchen peeling taters and talking about all the wonderful kinds of dishes they could make: peanut tater-butter and tater-jelly
sandwiches, baked taters, French fried taters, tater tots, sweet pa-taters, tater gumbo, etc… But when Beanie is thrown in the
stockade, the Bubbas have to rise up in a pira-tater mutiny to save him.

Will Chef Le-Pooface make a big stink? Will the King force the Bubbas to walk the plank, and will he like peanut tater-butter and
tater-jelly sandwiches, or will Beanie bail them out before they all sink in stink?

Somewhere Under the Rainbow
After a belly-soaking rain, the Bubbas see a beautiful rainbow and wonder if the Magical Pot Roast at the end of the rainbow legend
is true. Beanie turns himself into a little purple Leprechaun and almost tricks the Bubbas into trading all their wishes in exchange
for the legendary Magical Pot Roast.

At the last minute, the Bubbas discover the little purple Leprechaun is really Beanie in disguise and they change their mind.
Instead they wish for a pair of magical dancing tater shoes for Mr. Leprechaun so he can tater-tap dance an Irish jig simply for their
entertainment.

Tater tappin’ revenge never sounded or tasted so good.

Duck Tape Origami
Bubba Dean takes up origami and makes an amazingly enormous duck tape swan. Bubba Jo on the other hand can’t origami a
thing to save his life and just gets all tangled up. But when Beanie tricks Bubba Jo into wishing the swan was alive so he could ride
on it, (Ish-biddley-otten-dotten-ba-ba-ska-deetten-datten!), poof, and
so goes the wish.

However, the beautiful swan turns out to be an ugly evil duckling in disguise, and is a fire-breathing terror that needs to be stopped
before it destroys Belly Acres and burns it to the ground. Beanie quickly realizes that he’s created an uncontrollable monster when
it comes after him, too.

Who can stop it, and how? More duck tape? Taters? Will the Bubbas have to wish it away, or will Beanie see the terror of his ways
and save Belly Acres from total annihilation?

Taters in-ma Ears
Bubba Jo’s ears are so dirty you could grow taters in them, literally! In fact, when he has problems hearing, he asks Bubba Dean to
look in them to see why. When he does, Bubba Dean discovers a little tater farm with little tater farmers working the land.

But when Bubba Jo whishes he could visit the farm and work the land too, poof! What, how does that work?

Will Bubba Jo use a wish to get out of his own head and will he ever want to leave the farm, or will Bubba Dean have to invent a
Duck-Tape Transporter Time Machine to bring his brother back to reality…
