As Dreamers Do Part Deux

[OldNavy1988]

Starlight Express
Released on Christmas Day 2004 by DreamWorks SKG through Universal Pictures

Produced by
DreamWorks Animation

In association with
Universal Cartoon Studios

DreamWorks' previous adaptations of Andrew Lloyd Webber's musicals have introduced a whole new generation to countless, memorable musical numbers. Normally, Starlight Express is produced on stage with actors in roller skates. Instead, the fanciful railroad race of Weber's imagination comes to life in 2D animation. The trains are drawn in a manner similar to the trains of the Rev. W Awdry's Thomas the Tank Engine books. At the box office, Starlight Express would go on to be the biggest hit of the spring.

Songs by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Richard Stilgoe

@QTXAdsy
The Christmas Day release date was in North America.

Starlight Express came out in the UK in February of '05.

Good stuff, suppose if Dreamworks have been on a roll with making animated Broadway musical films then others will likely be following such as Wicked and perhaps an animated remake of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang which I mentioned sometime before which would follow the show rather than original film.

Suppose would need to think of a cast list now, hmm.

DreamWorks can try to make arrangements with Turner to incorporate songs from the 1939 Wizard of Oz into their version of Wicked. Or would that be unnecessary?

Honestly, I could see Wicked being made by another studio other than Disney, same with CCBB. With Dreamworks having completed their ALW trilogy (unless they get the go ahead for Phantom or others) I can't see them doing more musicals for the time being.

I'm not sure songs from the original 1939 won't be needed for an adaption of Wicked as it stands up well for itself.

Amazing job @OldNavy1988 on the Sword of the Stone remake! But Disney's two other films Robots and The Snow Queen, starred Michelle Trachtenberg and Joan Cusack (OTL it was Ice Princess) is on the way. Hollywood Pictures' (OTL Disney made the film) Valiant is soaring onto its wings this month. And Touchstone/Dimension's Sin City, Hollywood's SpyHunter 2: The State of the Union and 20th Century-Fox's (OTL Touchstone made the film) The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is on the wings.

This encapsulates my opinion of this movie:

 

[CeruleanDev]

I don't get it.

 

[drporter357]

December of '05.

IOTL, that show was supposed to be a spoof of Davey and Goliath, right?

yes it was and can it finish it's story the way it wanted too.

 

[Sonny912]

So we'll prefer Ice Princess to be made as a remake of an animated Disney classic The Snow Queen, while I'll have 2006's Deja Vu, which Jerry Bruckheimer and Ridley Scott having Disney contracts to be released under the Fox label (OTL it was Touchstone).

1. That's great!
2. Cool, just make it for a slightly more mature child audience unlike IRL.
3. Favreau should direct for my money.
4. Called it.
