Question for the week of January 25, 2010
Recent Questions
- A couple of weeks ago, Disney announced that it’s changing the name of its December animated release from Rapunzel to Tangled in order to expand the potential audience of the film—and stay away from the girlcentric “Princess” label. Do you think this was a wise choice? How do you feel about the fact that many animated films try to stay away from girl-centric storylines to appeal to a wider demographic?
- Now that the Academy Awards season is finally over, what’s your feeling about the whole awards season? Did the right films and projects (Up, Logorama, Avatar) go home with the glory or where the smaller, indie toons get lost in the shuffle? Do you think animation finally gets enough recognition during awards season? Do you think the Annual Annie Awards should be broadcast on cable?
- Many of the year's much-anticipated European animated features will be unspooling at Cartoon Movie in Lyon, France, this week. Which one of the titles do you think will have the most potential for global popularity? Sylvain Chomet's The Illusionist, Ben Stassen's Around the World in 50 Years: Sammy's Adventures, Rintaro's Yona Yona Penguin or Maria Lindberg's Moomins and the Great Comet Chase?

NONE OF THEM...Let animated TV shows and movies STAY animated.
No more of this live-action, CG-spewed-up, digital dirtbag chronicles

I know a person or two attached to THUNDERCATS, so I am a bit partial there... MARVIN THE MARTIAN could be hilarious, but I plan to keep my expectations low.

I agree with Pen....let\\\'s be ORIGINAL! Those were made to stand the test of time and should remain beloved in their original form.

Definitely the Jetsons!! Perhaps Jim Carrey for the bumbling George.
Or I hear Conan O\'Brien\'s outta work and had lots of money to invest!
Seriously this begs for Live Action!!

seriously i\'m on team Thundercat to hit the movies that should be epic if its done right
the creepiest one that i think could go sour is Marvin the Martian hes a good character but i\'m not sure how a feature length film will be a good avenue for him.

Been waiting for a live action Jetsons\' film since The Flintstones. I\'m guessing with today\'s technologies, it would be a lot easier to create the right feel.
Thundercats could be interesting, with Avatar\'s success, why wouldn\'t another CG alien film work?
The others just seem like bad ideas...
