OK here it is then:
TASSLEHOFF BURRFOOT
Starring Tom Hanks as Tasslehoff Burrfoot
FADE IN on a single white feather on the breeze it floats past Tasslehoff Burrfoot (hence known as TB [that's a disease, you know]). TB picks it up and puts it in his pouch. No one is around, but fortunately for TB, he notices that there's a director, a camera man, and a best boy sitting across from him.
TB: Hello! My name's Tasslehoff, Tasslehoff Burrfoot. Did you drop this? (TB holds out a film canister. Best Boy takes it) (TB opens his pouch) I have about a million and a half things in here. Tanis always said, "Life is like a kender's pouch -- you never know what you're gonna find, but it's usually yours anyway." (closes his pouch but not without adding a small stone) I'm not sure what he meant by that. Tanis says a lot of things I don't understand. Tanis told me once not to do anything that isn't "conducive to a long life," whatever that means. I go lots of places, and I find things wherever I go. Once, I found a wooly mammoth, but Tanis said I had to put it back. I've done lot's of things. I met a god once. He didn't look or act like a god, but he was a god. He's a close personal friend of mine now. Once I found this ring....
See Tom Hanks in a role that will win him his second consecutive Otik [the first was for the Political Piece, PALANTHAS, for his powerful role as a mage alienated from society by his choice to live in the Dark Tower.].
TASSLEHOFF BURRFOOT
The story of a man, who despite his simple nature, his small stature, and the fact that, well, he's a Kender! Goes on to become a Hero of the Lance and a heck of a swell guy!
Watch time after time, as the Special Effects gurus at Ansalon Light and Magic bring people who are definitely and unquestionably dead back to life to perform there roles in this Kender's life.
RAISTLIN "ARE YOU A KENDER!!!"
TB "A KENDER IS AS A KENDER DOES!"
RAISTLIN "That's what I'm afraid of...."
Remember the nostalgia of the pre-War of the Lance days! Remember what people wore -- and laugh!!!
All while TB sits on a bench in Solace and filches things from the passers-by.
Tasslehoff Burrfoot -- Playing in a theatre near you.
