If Nabisco purchasing NBC leads to more kids becoming overweight, then I don't want that to happen. Even if their products are so delicious.

Nabisco has removed itself from the race for the peacock by virtue of a merger with RJ Reynolds to form RJR Nabisco.
Well, if Warren Buffett can own Dairy Queen and See's Candies, then RJ Reynolds can merge his company with Nabisco by comparison.
I was thinking of having Cloris voice Mrs. Which.
However for Meg Murry and the other two kids, I might need to create fictional actors for those roles.
Full disclosure, I have never read the book.

I would go for Gilda Radner as Mrs which and Meg Murry and the other two kids being some Belushi sisters

"Some three years ago, it looked like United Artists would give Disney a run for its money when they released The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe. Of course, UA's cartoon department fell apart far quicker than it was put together. This year, Walter Lantz - yes, Walter Lantz, the father of Woody Woodpecker - would make a miraculous comeback with a much more mature project than his usual slapstick fare. Together with director Ralph Bakshi, Lantz's new film A Wrinkle in Time takes us on an out-of-this-world trip with three youngsters who must make a dangerous, cosmic journey to a wicked planet in order to reunite with their long lost father. Those who read the Madeline L'Engel book in their youth may bemoan the liberties taken in this film. But for everyone else, this film is gonna be talked about for years to come."
- Gene Shalit; The Today Show
"Last fall, the animation business was rocked by the Home Economics scandal, but Walter Lantz's newest picture A Wrinkle in Time proves the industry's resilience from controversy tenfold."

The fact that you took my suggestion of having Gilda Radner in the cast for marketing reasons
John K Captured!
Excerpts from a Press Conference announcing John Kricfalusi's arrest
Held at Parker Center (LAPD Headquarters)
March 10, 1982
Griffin Bell
Attorney General of the United States
"Good afternoon. I am honored to stand alongside Los Angeles County District Attorney Robert Philibosian, Robert S. Mueller III, Assistant United States Attorney for the Central District of California, as well as the State of California's Attorney General George Deukmejian."
"Yesterday, the FBI arrested 26 year old Canadian national Michael John Kricfalusi, charging him with three counts of bribery and five counts of child enticement."
"Mr. Kricfalusi was entrusted by his bosses with the privilege of using his talent to help the Hanna-Barbera cartoon studio build on its success as the standard bearer for quality family entertainment. Instead, Mr. Krifcalusi stands accused of using his creative gifts to circumvent the authority of the Screen Cartoonists Association of America and its Cartoon Czar's office."
Robert S. Mueller III
"Mr. Kricfalusi is also accused of giving monetary bribes to several members of the National Broadcasting Company's department of broadcast standards and practices. Three of NBC's censors are now in federal custody for accepting those bribes. This was the result of objections raised by the network over the content of the Eastland Girls episode titled 'Home Economics,' for which Kricfalusi is credited as the sole writer. In that episode, a young boy named Todd, who is depicted as being the same age as the main girls on the show, is clunked on the head with a baseball bat and dragged into the dormitory where the girls live and study. Todd is then shown donning a diaper and a baby bonnet while sitting on an oversized high chair and fed with a baby bottle. All of this is culmination of the home economics lesson being given by Mrs. Garrett, the housemother of the dormitory."
Bell
"Over a three and a half year span, Mr. Kricfalusi attempted to lure child actresses such as Mindy Feldman, Dana Plato, Molly Ringwald, Felice Shachter and Nancy McKeon to his residence for the purposes of committing obscene acts with minors. Because of the repeated attempts to entice these young ladies, Mr. Krifcfalusi is currently being held without bail."
"A trial date will be discussed at a later date. Now I am happy to answer any questions."

So, mere hours before 2021 begins IOTL, we get both Walter Lantz's comeback AND John K. getting in the slammer? Consider me impressed and hopeful for what the future brings both here and now and then and there.
Happy, Happy....Joy, Joy. The dumb bastard will never corrupt other people now.Excerpts from a Press Conference announcing John Kricfalusi's arrest
