EXT. RONALD’S CASTLE - DAY
The sun is high above McDonaldland, where applause can
distantly be heard.
INT. RONALD’S CASTLE - DAY
MAYOR MCCHEESE and RONALD MCDONALD are in front of a huge
group of cheering townspeople, including BIRDIE and GRIMACE.
MCCHEESE
And it is with great honor that we,
the people of
McDonaldland,(gesturing to the
townspeople) ask you, Ronald
McDonald, to look after our kingdom
with the tremendous leadership and
bravery.
McCheese gestures into the air and a large golden SCEPTER
with a hamburger emblem appears. McCheese grabs it and
offers it to Ronald.
RONALD
(taking the scepter)
I humbly accept, and I will promise
to do my best to look out for all
of you as I lead McDonaldland into
the future!
EXT. MCDONALDLAND - DAY
The seasons change rapidly and the castles and cottages get
torn down and rebuilt into more modern-looking buildings.
The only building that does not change is Ronald’s Castle.
EXT. CASTLE COURTYARD - DAY
Ronald, Birdie, and Grimace walk through the courtyard.
There are rows of flowers surrounding the three, who are
walking on a cobblestone path.
BIRDIE
Ronald, you’ve been distant lately.
What’s wrong?
RONALD
(long pause)
I don’t know. I don’t feel like a
king, you know?
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 2.
GRIMACE
How can you say that? You’ve
rebuilt this city from the
ground-up and improved life for
everyone in McDonaldland!
BIRDIE
Yeah, you even put the Hamburgular
to justice!
Ronald stops walking and looks out past the courtyard and
into the distant Enchanted Forest.
RONALD
It’s out there. I can feel it in my
bones.
BIRDIE
Ronald, we’ve been over this, the
Golden Hamburger Scepter is too
dangerous! Ever since your father-
RONALD
(interrupting)
My father has nothing to do with
this. I don’t want to do it for
him, I want to do it for myself. I
need to earn my throne, not just
inherit it.
GRIMACE
But. Ronald. No one knows for sure
where it is. People die in there.
Good, strong men. Men who don’t
deserve it.
Grimace begins to cry. Birdie consoles him.
BIRDIE
Don’t blame yourself for your
brother, Grimace. It’s not your
fault.
RONALD
(patting Grimace’s back)
You can’t change anything now,
Grim.
In the distance, explosions can be heard. The three look
around in confusion.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 3.
RONALD
Did you hear that?
BIRDIE
Yes. Do you think it could be-
RONALD
Yes. I do. Get inside somewhere
safe, Birdie. Grimace, let’s
assemble the army. The Burger King
is here.
EXT. BURGER KING’S SHIP - DAY
High in the air, a fleet of wooden floating ships are firing
on McDonaldland. On board the lead ship, BURGER KING sits on
a throne.
BURGER KING
This is the day I have long sought
after. The day where I finally
seize McDonaldland!
Two minions dressed in red uniforms appear from below deck.
MINION
My lord, we have received
confirmation that Ronald McDonald
is currently holed up in his
castle.
A smile slowly appears on Burger King’s face.
BURGER KING
We must make haste. Attack the
castle at once!
INT. RONALD’S CASTLE - DAY
Ronald is shown frantically running through the castle
giving various orders to his staff as he goes to his
headquarters to prepare for battle where Grimace and Birdie
are waiting.
RONALD
Grimace, I want all hands on deck
any man, woman, and child that can
hold a weapon should be ready for
battle. Weapons, troops, and a
little bit of luck. I need all of
that right now. Can you do that for
(MORE)
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 4.
RONALD (cont’d)me Grimace or are you just going to
be useless as you always are in war
time situations?
GRIMACE
Ronald, aren’t you forgetting
something?
BIRDIE
Yea, you are forgetting the Golden
Hamburger Scepter. It is the only
true signifier of a hamburger king.
We are past the point of battle,
they are too strong. Nobody knows
exactly where it is but it is
somewhere in the enchanted forest.
Your father was the one who
originally created it. It is
designed so only a true hamburger
king can wield its power.
Ronald nods his head and just as he is about to leave the
ground begins to shake and sounds of a firefight outside
ensue. The shaking causes Grimace and Birdie to fall to the
ground.
BIRDIE
Go! Save yourself, you are the only
one that can put an end to this
madness! Come back for us!
RONALD
What was that?
BIRDIE
I said don’t forget to come back
for us!
RONALD
Black forest? I thought it was in
the Enchanted Forest.
BIRDIE
No! I said back. For. Us.
RONALD
I’ll never forget you guys.
Ronald runs through the collapsing castle dodging falling
debris.

EXT. ENCHANTED FOREST - DUSK
Ronald runs through the forest as the destruction of his
kingdom is shown in the background. Ships are shown along
the horizon firing upon the buildings.
RONALD
Can’t. Run. Any. More...
Ronald collapses on the ground. Shortly after, little
critters emerge from the forest. They are the FRY GUYS, and
they pick up Ronald and bring him to safety.
INT. CAVE - NIGHT
Ronald wakes up in a dark cave with the sound of water
trickling in the background. The Fry Guys help him up
showing the golden hamburger scepter in the center of the
cave.
RONALD
Was it you guys that brought me
here? Are you children?! I love
children!
FRY GUYS
...
RONALD
You little fellas don’t talk much
do you?
FRY GUYS
...
RONALD
Is that what I think it is? The
golden hamburger scepter? I am
finally living up to my father.
FRY GUYS
...
The fry guys bring the golden rod to Ronald. As soon as he
touches it a path is illuminated going out from the cave and
back to the kingdom.
RONALD
It’s go time. Also, please feel
free to come back to my castle
after this is all over.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 6.
FRY GUYS
...
INT. RONALD’S CASTLE - NIGHT
Ronald comes back to the castle to see that the Burger King
has already taken over and is running the kingdom as his
own.
BURGER KING
Well hello, welcome to Burger
Kingdom. May I take your order?
RONALD
I would like my kingdom back...
with a side of revenge.
BURGER KING
We don’t serve that here Mr.
McDonald. This place is mine and
you can’t have it back. Do you like
what I have done with the place?
RONALD
Where are Birdie and Grimace?
BURGER KING
They are doing just fine as you can
see.
Grimace and Birdie are shown chained up in a cage that is
about to be lowered into a giant deep fryer.
BURGER KING
Slaves, come hither. Why don’t we
show Mr. McDonald where the
milkshake room is.
Minions grab Ronald and try to restrain him.
BURGER KING
Get this clown out of my sight. He
sickens me.
RONALD
Hey BK.
BURGER KING
Yes?
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 7.
RONALD
Super Size this mother fucker!
Ronald takes out the golden hamburger scepter and the
minions go flying. He then points the rod at Burger King and
a golden blast shoots out disintegrating Burger King. After
this happens the cage stops lowering into the deep fryer and
Grimace and Birdie are freed. Ronald dusts himself off and
walks to the throne, and confidently sits down with the
scepter in hand.
