Candy House English Script
Opening Scene: A Forest Path
[Scene opens with soft sunlight filtering through the dense canopy of trees. The sound of birds chirping fills the air. Two children, Lila and Max, walk along a winding path.]
Lila: (excitedly) Do you think we’ll find it today, Max? The candy house Dad told us about?
Max: (doubtful but intrigued) I don’t know, Lila. It sounds like something out of a storybook.
Lila: (pointing ahead) Look! Isn’t that it over there?
[They both stop as they see a small wooden sign partially hidden by vines. The sign reads "Candy House Ahead."]
Max: (gasps) Wow, it really exists!
[The siblings cautiously approach the clearing where the candy house stands. Its walls are made entirely of gingerbread, its roof is covered in chocolate tiles, and its windows are made of transparent sugar glass.]
Lila: (whispering) This is incredible. It’s like a dream come true.
Max: (nervously) Let’s not get too close. What if someone’s inside?
[As they step closer, the door creaks open on its own. Inside, the interior is just as magical—everything from furniture to utensils is crafted from sweets.]
Old Woman’s Voice: (from within) Who dares disturb my peace?
[An old woman emerges from the shadows. Her hair is made of licorice strands, and her eyes sparkle like hard candies.]
Old Woman: (smiling warmly) Ah, young travelers! Welcome to my humble abode. My name is Mrs. Sweetpea. Please, come in.
Lila: (cautiously) Thank you, Mrs. Sweetpea. We didn’t mean to intrude.
Mrs. Sweetpea: (laughing softly) No need for apologies. Every visitor is welcome here. Now, would you like some tea?
[She gestures toward a table laden with cups filled with what appears to be liquid caramel.]
Max: (hesitant) Uh, sure... but how do we drink it?
Mrs. Sweetpea: (laughs) Oh, dear boy, it’s perfectly safe. Just blow gently.
[Max tentatively blows into his cup, and the caramel solidifies into a sweet biscuit. He smiles widely.]
Lila: (amazed) That’s amazing!
[As the evening progresses, Mrs. Sweetpea shares stories of her life in the candy house. However, Lila and Max begin to notice strange things happening around them.]
Lila: (whispering to Max) Do you feel that? The air feels heavier now.
Max: (nodding) And look at the walls—they’re moving closer.
[Suddenly, the floor beneath them begins to rumble. The walls of the candy house start to shrink, trapping them inside.]
Mrs. Sweetpea: (laughs maniacally) Silly children, did you truly believe this was all real? You’ve been lured into my trap!
Lila: (fearful but determined) Why are you doing this?
Mrs. Sweetpea: (coldly) Because I am lonely, and you will make perfect replacements for me.
[Realizing they must escape, Lila and Max work together to find a way out. They discover that the candy house’s defenses can be weakened by consuming small amounts of its sweet materials.]
Max: (yelling) Lila, try eating the chair legs! Maybe it’ll weaken the structure!
[Lila does so, and the chair melts away. Encouraged, they continue breaking down barriers until they reach the front door.]
Lila: (grinning) Run, Max!
[Together, they sprint out of the candy house just as it collapses behind them. Exhausted but relieved, they sit under a nearby tree.]
Max: (panting) That was terrifying.
Lila: (smiling) But we did it. And we even got a taste of adventure.
[They share a laugh as the camera pans back to show the ruins of the candy house fading into the forest mist.]
End Scene.
