I was thinking of giving Stargate to someone else, but I wanna hear from everyone else.
Nah scarecrow and poison ivy are the villains so who do you think would do well as the both of them
I must confess I more concerned with having firely not wind up in the hands of Disney. Disney coperate culture would be a terriable match for firefly. I still like idea disney doing a tv series set on a space ship or a space station. Beside having diseny do star gate they could pick up Andormoda , Farsapce , Babalayon Five, an earlier verison of the orvile, or a verison of voager without the conetions to star trek.
I would go with Kiki's Delivery Service or Castle in the Sky as an estimate of the next dub. They're both mainstream classics of the Ghibli lexicon, and a long enough barrier of time has passed since the release of either film.
Aw heck, why not go for a Double Feature of the two in July or August of 1994? Sure, that double feature would ironically not have Totoro in it, but it would potentially prove that Eisner wasn't a one-time wonder on Miyazaki's cultural impact.
OK, had thoughts on Lion King casting which might be possible here that almost happened with OTL regarding Timon and Pumbaa.
Great idea. This would a great film for Metromedia RKO/NBC Caraclco or Hollywood pictures to release
Back in the early days of Lion King, Rik Mayall and Ade Edmondson of Bottom and Young Ones fame in the UK were nearly brought in by Tim Rice's request to play Timon and Pumbaa respectively and he did have their characters in mind to play them as his first choice. This video has a little bit more info on the matter.
Yeah, actually it might also help create a little dynamic between those characters which I didn't think about.

I'm betting basketball is a popular sport in Texas, probably #2 behind football (because, in Texas, there's an old joke: There are two seasons--football and spring football.)...
Seriously, one town in Texas (Allen) spent $60 million on a state-of-the-art high school football stadium...
1: Sweet! As for who to animate it, I'd go with MWS on this. Without TMNT, they'd need another job and fast!
2: Okay.
3: Well, she did ask for it, albeit unintentionally.
4: Yikes! I hope they make it out scathed.
To be fair, Jordan's time with the Rockets helped a ton to boost the sport's popularity in the Lone Star State.
