    Warcraft, live action movie. If that ever finally happens. It's Blizzard, though, so maybe I'll be in my fifties when it comes out.

    I was always disappointed that Nelvana never made an animated adaptation of Brian Jacques' Mossflower along with the other three Redwall books they adapted. That would be amazing.

    Hear, hear! Although I'd prefer to see any more Redwall stuff done with high-quality 3d animation rather than 2d. Pixar needs to get on that.

    If Pixar did Redwall, they'd change it beyond recognition, and it would be full of one-liners and innuedno-based jokes to appeal to adults while mystifying children.

    Amen. Stop butchering authors' hard work to fit in into a 2 1/2 hour block. I truly wish screen writers would come up with some ideas of their own instead of just swiping someone's hard work for a few bucks and making a travesty that convinces people that the book must be just as bad so they never read it.

    I don't know about that. Pixar has proved they can be serious too. Toy Story 3 had some pretty heavy stuff in it. But if Pixar doesn't meet your approval, perhaps Dreamworks then? Provided of course that they treat it more like The Prince of Egypt or How to Train Your Dragon and less like Kung Fu Panda and Megamind. (Although those movies were great too.)

    I would prefer to see it in 2D.

    They did some Redwall and I think I picked a DVD up for $2, I forget where.

    They never continued it (I am surprised to hear that they did 3 books, I must have missed those). I always wanted to see Mossflower and Martin the Warrior done in cartoon. Somebody on DeviantArt was looking into making another cartoon. I don't know how far they got.
