Say you get to commission/direct one Pixar movie...

[Gaith]

Okay, you opened the right cereal box and got the grand prize: the ability to conceive, shepherd and direct a Pixar movie! Your only restrictions:

- Can't be rated above PG-13.
- Must be an original work or adapted from something in the public domain; for purposes of this exercise, what Pixar/Disney actually has rights to doesn't count, and you can't acquire anything, either.
- Must be CG, and able to fit a normal-ish runtime.


And that's it, go!


Myself, I've thought about this long and hard over the years. There are dozens of live-action movies/projects I'd love to direct, even going by the public domain restrictions above, but I just can't think of much I'd like to do with CG.

But, I've finally come up with something: a biopic of Mohammad, starring cats. I'd honestly prefer a live-action movie, but since that would a) probably have to be filmed in the US for security purposes and b) who are we kidding, Hollywood's far too cowardly to actually film such a thing anywhere, that's my choice. (And yes, I know that no animation studio would touch the project either, but I won the golden ticket, b****es! )

Anyone else have one?

What about something set in the Old West? That might be an interesting theme that Pixar hasn't touched yet.

This has got to be the stupidest restriction I've ever heard of, especially considering all the properties Disney actually owns.

My first script was written in mind for being an adult computer animated film (not adult as in "naughty", but not written for children either), with Pixar as the target. The lead was written specifically for a certain comedian.

I'm writing my third script now. If only I had an agent, and money for an agent.

Start your own damn thread, then.
