The film was to be set in Appalachia, Texas in the 1940s, detailing the story of two families at odds. Despite this, their children Elgin and Rose fall in love. Uniquely, Elgin loves folk-art, and creates a massive array of distinct dolls each of which is possessed by a ghostly character.

After it was green-lit, the project went through various name changes including Once In A Blue Moon, Elgin's Peoples, Angel And Her No Good Sister and A Few Good Ghosts. Cook also began hiring voice actors for the film, including Dolly Parton and Billy Connolly.

Sadly, the film was cancelld in favour of Chicken Little, which was seen to have a broader appeal to a general audience.
