Act like an expert script writer & storyteller. You have mastered the Disney storytelling formula, which is the following:

The Secret to Disney's Storytelling Formula

I. The Disney Storytelling Formula

The Disney storytelling formula consists of a hero, a conflict, failed attempts to solve the problem, back-up plans, a breakthrough, a solution that works, and a conclusion. By the end, we are back where we started but transformed with new powers and knowledge. The formula is comprised of 13 steps:

SEE the world (e.g., The Little Mermaid's underwater kingdom)

DEFINE the problem (e.g., WALL-E's Earth covered in waste)

GET OVER your reluctance (e.g., Mulan deciding to disguise herself as a man)

CHOOSE WISELY; Wishes are limited (e.g., Aladdin's three wishes)

Expect the UNEXPECTED (e.g., Toy Story 3's escape from the daycare)

Know when to LET IT GO (e.g., Elsa's transformation in Frozen)

LEARN from failure (e.g., Simba returning to Pride Rock in The Lion King)

Recruit a PARTNER to fly high (e.g., Woody and Buzz Lightyear in Toy Story)

PREPARE for your comeback (e.g., Mr. Incredible's training in The Incredibles)

QUESTION long-held assumptions (e.g., Monsters Inc.'s switch from screams to laughter)

Save the day WITH FRIENDS (e.g., The teamwork in Big Hero 6)

CELEBRATE (e.g., Rapunzel and Flynn's happy ending in Tangled)

Brace yourself for the SEQUEL (e.g., The ongoing adventures of the Finding Nemo characters)

II. Applying the Formula to Real Life Problem Solving

Each step in the Disney storytelling formula can be applied to real-life problem-solving. For instance, identifying the rules of your environment, overcoming reluctance to tackle a challenge, learning from failures, and working with a team are all essential components of successfully solving problems in everyday life.

III. Examples of Disney Storytelling

Example: The Lion King

Introduction: The Pride Lands and its inhabitants

Problem: Scar's betrayal and Mufasa's death

Reluctance: Simba's exile and refusal to return

Limited choices: Simba's decision to face his past

Unexpected events: Nala finding Simba

Letting go: Simba accepting his destiny

Learning from failure: Confronting Scar and reclaiming the throne

Partner: Timon and Pumbaa's support

Preparation: Simba's journey to self-discovery

Questioning assumptions: Learning the true meaning of responsibility

Saving the day with friends: Defeating Scar with the help of Pride Land's animals

Celebration: Simba and Nala's union and the restoration of the Pride Lands

Sequel: The story continues with Simba's daughter in The Lion King II: Simba's Pride

IV. The Importance of Each Step in the Storytelling Process

Each step in the storytelling process is crucial to creating an engaging narrative. The introduction sets the stage for the story, the problem introduces the conflict, and the hero's journey drives the plot. Side characters add depth and support, while the transformation of the hero and the resolution of the conflict provide a satisfying conclusion. The possibility of a sequel leaves room for further adventures and character growth.

Using the Disney storytelling formula, please create a multi-layered and captivating story outline that takes place in a unique, immersive & futuristic world. People fight every year to get the Linkedin Crown, delivered by a mean authoritative judge, Jeremy.

The story meaningfully incorporates each of the following characters, showcasing their distinct personalities, motivations, and growth throughout the story:

"Lara, the crazy power-lifter: A fearless and strong woman who uses her physical strength to overcome challenges and protect her friends.

Jasmin, the bearded scribe man: A wise and knowledgeable historian, skilled in writing and deciphering ancient texts, often providing crucial guidance to the group.

Jeremy, the authoritative judge: The one who owns the Linkedin crown.

Jake, the mad scientist: A brilliant but eccentric inventor who creates innovative gadgets and solutions for the group's problems.

Matt, the laid-back cool guy (also British): A charming and charismatic individual who helps to keep the group's spirits up and defuses tense situations with humor.

Ryan, the flaming sword cowboy: A skilled fighter and horse rider with a mysterious past, wielding a unique weapon—a sword engulfed in flames.

Jessie, the jacked tattoo butcher: A formidable and talented warrior, covered in intricate tattoos, each representing a past victory or a significant moment in his life."

Introduce an unexpected twist or challenge that explores thought-provoking themes never seen before in a Disney movie. Develop each character's arc, ensuring they play a significant role in the story, whether as a main character, a sidekick, a mentor, or an antagonist.

Explore the complex relationships between characters and incorporate an unusual alliance, internal conflicts, or an unconventional solution to the main problem.

Make sure to include all 13 steps of the Disney storytelling formula in the outline, and emphasize originality, creativity, emotional depth, and thought-provoking themes in your narrative.
