Itt: you are in charge of making your childhood favorite book series into an animated cartoon, who would you get to animate and who would you cast
I don't know about casting but i'd love it if Ikuhara directed an animated Unfortunate Events adaptation. As long as he didn't go too overboard that is.
>>78001805
You first.
>>78001805
I've always imagined Tim Curry as Olaf.
I know the shape he's in as of late but in a perfect world he'd be well again to do him.
>>78002222
>tfw repeated sequences for children recognizing olaf and their guardians being dismissive
>tfw in The End when the sequence stops halfway through and the islanders arrest olaf
but where will ikuhara put the gays?
>>78001805
>Twenty-two full-length Redwall movies
>Nothing omitted
>Exhaustive food porn for every single feast
>All the random songs and ditties actually set to music
Artemis Fowl has potential, but I have no idea who I would cast, considering I do not know any Irish VAs. I know for a fucking FACT that I would try to corrupt the youth of tomorrow with a shortstack/minigirl fetish, though.
>>78002928
Do you think Cartoon Saloon would do a good job animating it? They're pretty much all about Ireland, after all. I also feel like their geometric-looking visuals would match Colfer's matter-of-fact writing style.
>>78003009
Yeah, that sounds about right. I still haven't seen Song of the Sea, but Secret of Kells was beautiful.
Out of all the books, this one to me was the most unsettling
>>78002928
I kind of want to storytime the graphic novels. I don't know if the copy I have is quality enough, though.
>>78001805
Anyone want to explain the ending to this shit to me?
>>78003302

>My childhood favorite book series
Let's see
The art style screams 'hand-drawn animation' so I'd have to look into that.
Not to sure on the cast either.
But I would love to see Charlie Adler as Principal Krupp/Captain Underpants.
It would NEVER happen but Series of Unfortunate Events in this style would be fucking ridiculous

>>78002920
Oh lord I need both of these things to be true at the same time.
>>78001805
I'm looking forward to the Netflix series
>>78001805
The girl who played Violet in the movie was a semen demon.
>>78001805
Terrence Stamp as Olaf.
Jim Carrey as Olaf was pretty good, I thought the whole casting in that film was pretty solid.
>>78004042
Netflix show is happening but the "teaser" and poster are confirmed fake breh. Also Violet's name is spelled wrong.
This shit is based as fuck. It deserves a better adaptation than the Disney film, be animation or live-action.
>>78004088
Jim Carrey was good in certain aspects but it feels like the Olaf was not quite the same one in the books. I'm not sure Carrey's Olaf would be a good fit for the shit he pulls later in the series.
>>78001805
Get me Ralph Bakshi on the phone and ask Kyle MacLachlan how feels about voicing a Sky Pirate.
>>78004088
Jude Law was a perfect Snicket
>>78005278
he totally would, handler started writing olaf to be more like carrey's after the movie and carrey can totally be dramatic if thats whats needed of him
>>78003462
We will do the Time Warp one last time for him.
Artemis Fowl.
I remember something about a movie being announced like over a decade ago but I haven't cared enough to see if that's ever going to be a thing.
An animated adaption of a genius Irish criminal kid who fucks with supernatural beings would be fun times though.
Technically I was in high school when I first read it, but I would like a faithful adaptation of Howl's Moving Castle.

>>78001805
Pretty sure I was promised an actual movie a long time ago, fuck this.
>>78005631
YES!
But it must also have a short cameo from Brian Blessed.
P E N D R A G O N
Why are none of these books movie series?
Is the YA movie series meme dead?
>>78007735
>Pendragon cartoon is made
>Ratings are in the gutter because nobody wants to watch the Mark-and-Courtney sections
No idea about animation studios, but
Kate Winslet as Pyanfar Chanur
Keith David as Khym
Kath Soucee as Hilfy
Sherri Stoner as Chur Anify
Generic Jamaican accented randoms as Mahendo'sat
Tim Curry as one kifish prince, Tony Jae as the other.
Frank Welker as all Stsho.
>>78001805
This shit could've been the next Harry Potter, but then they fucked up and only gave it a single movie with all of the plot points fucked up.
>>78007735
Better as movies than cartoons imo
>>78007848
Nah, HP:s always got the wish fulfillment angle working for it. A Series of Unfortunate Events was always a bit too grim for that kind of popularity.
>>78003245
It was a very unsettling turn for the series. If I remember correctly it signals the end of the first arc of the series, and ends with the orphans truly alone.
>>78007917
Is it more grim than Hunger Games? I haven't read them
>>78007862
>First Pendragon movie comes out
>The fans don't watch it in theaters because they don't want to sit through the Mark-and-Courtney interludes
>Barely any money is made
>The fans watch it on Netflix/Redbox and skip all the Mark-and-Courtney parts
>All the other movies are direct-to-DVD with low budgets and shit quality
The Dragon Riders of Pern.
...What none of you guys could read beyond a college level whilst children?
>>78004501
It also uses the films logo
>>78001805The pre-aged pages in these books are the shit.
Any other books with them?
>>78007970
My mom thought books with dragons were satanic
>>78001805
I really need to got back and finish those
I think I only got as far as the Austere Academy back in the day
>>78001805
The Borrowers because it's now my fetish
>>78008017
Your mom doesn't know what a science-fiction book, with genetically engineered dragons, a space fungi from another planet and even the occasional time-travel plot.
That's about as Satanic as buttered toast.
>>78007970
I think we're rare...
>>78007938
>>78007938
Way way wayy more
Hunger games has the illusion of grimness, but the idea is that little girls put themselves in the super popular, super able Katniss. Its all about being a special snowflake, face of the resistance whos amazing at archery.
There is a form of wish fulfilment in ASOUE. Who didn't want to be as well read as Klaus or as smart as Violet? Its a different form of wish fulfilment, speaks to the outcasts rather than the general kid audience.

Pern is eighth grade level at best. Try being condescending when you can say that you read Lord of the Rings and the Silmarillion at the age of ten.
>>78003506
>Charlie Adler
You'll get Kevin James and like it
>>78001805
Fairenheit 451 if it was an animated movie.
Guy Montag - David Kaye (Optimus Prime, Transformers Animated)
Clarisse McClellan - Cristina Vee (Homura Akemi, Madoka Magica)
Mildred "Millie" Montag - Kath Soucie (Miriam Pataki, Hey Arnold)
Captain Beatty - Clancy Brown (Lex Luthor, Justice League)
Faber - Tom Kane (Magneto, Wolverine and the X-Men)
Granger - John DiMaggio (Sandman, Spectacular Spider-Man)
>>78007931
Yup. After they left the village they traveled alone. I'm actually starting to remember how these all played out now. IIRC that was the... 6th? book in the series? I think it may have been one of my favorites.
>>78008398
Its hard for me to pick a favourite. I have a soft spot for the carnivorous carnival as it was my first and has probably the most gruesome Theatre troop death.
Austere academy is also good but damn if Penultimate Peril isn't a fantastic send off.
>>78002772
why do you do this to me anon? Every day I realize Tim Curry would be the perfect actor for something I lose a year off my life from the stress
>>78003317
Liar. We know Klaus survived at least.
>>78009498
No, we know Kit's baby survived.
>>78009562
Kit's baby survived too, but in the last book there's a line that says (I paraphrase) "many years later, Klaus would remember this moment as" something something something.
>>78009599
Really?
I guess someone had to survive to help that baby andname it Beatrice

Oh god, the good times I had with this series. Slowly starting to forget the plot, though.
[spolier] >mfw all I really read as a kid were comic books and biographies [/spoiler]
>>78004501
>Netflix show is happening
Whoa whoa whoa what? That's pretty cool news. I always felt that if they were to be adapted, they would be better as a TV series than a movie. Any info on the show?
>>78005631
Oh god yes. Please. Yes.
>>78011074
They better get Jude Law back
ANIMORPHS
I don't care about the cast, just bring back the cheesy buttrock intro from the live action show.
>>78008207
>Lord of the Rings
I made it through the first book around 11 or so before I dropped the series and never picked it up again. I decided I would rather go for a walk than read about people walking.
>>78008207
That's when I read it. Even did my book report on the Silmarillion.
In hindsight I should have done some simple piece of shit instead like Warriors because I spent like 20 hours and that stupid report.
>>78001805
Probably a bit unconventional, but I'd love to see A Series of Unfortunate Events adapted by Genndy Tartakovsky or Laika
>>78003453
>wanting straightforward fantasy made into shit edge with a hack
And that's if someone can tell him to stop being a bitch and actually finish something.
>>78007617
Anon, we all know a movie would just be a disappointment. Do you really want to handle the cringe-worthy number of quips that will ruin every scene?
