Mulan was a tired old series? From what I could tell, the movie was another adaption of a classic story, and IMO, the last good movie Disney itself has done. (Pixar has been doing the rest of the good movies since then.) |

Well, Jiji's the mascot. If the current trend of talking animal mascots continues, Jiji will be a hip-hop street-talkin' feline with attitude and sass. He'll snap his paw and say "You go girl!" And my palms will be bleeding from clenching my fists every time the commercial comes on TV. Hey, why not let Eddie Murphy play him? He's already kept me away from Mulan and both Shrek movies. ------RM |

PEOPLES. This Disney version has nothing at all to do with Miyazaki. Not point AT ALL to compare them. Think of it as an entirely different project.

Well seeing how Disney is releasing all of Miyazki's movies here, and that they only discovered the book through Miyazaki's movie, I would think we could easily come to the conclusion of what Disney is trying to cash off of now. Heck, if they weren't trashing all their 2D animators, they'd probably be trying to make a sequel off the title like everything else in their "vault". I just will happily try to think that no animator with honor would try to attempt such a sequel. So instead, Disney is going live action. |

Is this an assumption or is there a source that says they discovered the book through the movie? |

Hmmm. This could actually work. It's going to be based on the books and not the movie so maybe this could really work. Plus this might also inspire people to see the original movie and then they might check out Miyazaki's other movies.

Are you kidding me? I'm so hyped for Hitchhiker's Guide! When I was watching the teaser while waiting for "The Life Aquatic", when the earth went boom and "DON'T PANIC" flashed on the screen, I squealed like an insane schoolgirl. I'm sooo bringing my towel to the theater for this one... 'because I'm a frood who knows where his towel is!

Um... has anyone read the Kadano stories...?
Next, read Howl's Moving Castle and then go see the movie. Widya Santoso -- "What, Howl's Moving Castle is a book?" |

Yeah, but....Mos Def? The only two people I like in the cast are Warwick Davis and Sam Rockwell. I don't know if I'd like Warwick Davis as Marvin though. And I've only seen Sam Rockwell in Galaxy Quest. But he was really funny in it. |

Yeah, I can't see Mos Def as Ford Prefect. Still, that's the only questionable call that was made about it.

I'm a little skeptical that Disney will do a good job. I don't think Disney had an original idea since "The Black Cauldron" or "TRON."
I'm biased because Disney laid off a lot of talented Animators. I haven't read the original books so I don't know the original plot. As long as they are faithful with the book. My teachers union has about 1% stock in Disney. So we have a small voice in this company. Ranmah |

Black Cauldron was based on a book that at the time was from a rather popular fantasy series. |

Lloyd Alexander wrote the series of novels IIRC. Disney's adaption was awful-- which is a bad sign if they're going by the original JP novel
