It is the year 2018, in Flower City, California. We begin in a small office in the Delphinium Royal Opera House…
"Mama Mia! What am I-a to do?"
The ferret paced his office, rubbing his short, black hair with his claws. "Mama Mia is already being shown here, Mr. Ferritoni," joked his secretary. "Rabbitina! This is-a no time-a for-a jokes! The-a ticket sales are-a down! If we don't-a find a snappy new musical, we-a will be-a ruined!" He sat down on his desk and put his face in his paws.
"Cheer up, Geo," Rabbitina said, sitting down next to him. "If you need to relax, why don't we watch a Disney movie, hum? That always makes me happy!" Giovanni (for that's his real name), looked up at her, and seeing that she was sort of serious, agreed. When the working day was over, they stopped at the Blockbusters at Hibiscus Mall, and rented a videotape of Lion King II.
They walked together to Rabbitina's apartment and settled down onto her couch to watch. Rabbitina took some carrot lasagna out of the fridge, and they ate dinner on TV trays.
Not skipping the commercials was probably one of the most fateful actions in Giovanni's career, because if you have ever watched Lion King II on VHS, you will understand that a certain Broadway musical (and Disney World park) is mentioned…
"Mama Mia! I-a never thought of that! That is-a indeed just-a the musical this place-a needs!"
Not only would the Lion King change Giovanni Ferritino's career, but it would change the lives of others, too…
