My candidate for the next big, hot, CG cartoon franchise ...
The stampede for more animated properties continues unabated:
... Paramount is pushing forward with a reboot of "Mighty Mouse."
The project, based on the vintage cartoon about a crime-fighting super-mouse (which will surely get a modern spin) has been in development for several years at Paramount and its Nickelodeon Movies label. A number of writers have taken stabs at a script over that time, including the Gunn brothers (Brian and Mark), who also count the "Journey to the Center of Earth" sequel among their credits.
But the studio has, over the last few months, been seeking both a new writer and a new director for "Mouse," with a number of up-and-comers on the list ....
This sounds as if it's got "Animation Hybrid!" scribbled all over it, but maybe it's going to be a pure CGI spectacular. (Who knows?)
Thank God we have no dearth of animated heroes from the 1940s, 1950s and beyond.
Me, I'm holding out for a big-budget reboot of Tom Terrific. Then it's on to Heckyll and Jekyll. (The sky's the limit.)

Heckle and Jekyll couldn't do a movie due to a scheduling conflict. They're too busy making those Windex commercials.

...So, they'll be rapping instead of singing operetta?
(Should I get the feeling the producers just haven't seen the originals?)
