Gentlemen, have done some research of late, thought I should copy you in. Have you seen latest numbers on Incredibles? Never mind DVD figures, check out overseas sales. Also Find The Fish movie still making money. Not to mention Shrek, now billion dollar industry! I say we move on whole cartoon-thing ASAP. As far as budget goes no need to worry. Sure, these pictures used to cost an arm and a leg, but can now find fourteen-year-old nerds who do whole movie on computer in basement. For real! Give some Jr. High student case of diet coke and he'll have our movie finished by end of week. As far as story goes, I have ideas. Good characters a must. Already done Fish, Toys and Robots with Cars coming next. So how's this for a title: House Arrest. Movie set in near future where houses can commit crimes. How would you feel if your house committed a crime? That's what happens to young Bobby Fielding, and it's up to a rag-tag team of rent controlled buildings to prove Bobby's home innocent. Maybe evil condominium is behind whole thing. As you can see, movie writes itself. I say we move now. Give me green light and we can all make some money. - Dan.
P.S. On a related note I have heard some talk around the studio about a Dragon Hunting movie. Must advise against this. Please consult me before any further developments on this picture. - Dan.

Wow. Okay.
I thought the purpose of this whole web site thing was to keep the public entertained and informed about Automatic Vaudeville business, not to desperately hustle a talking-house picture that was already D.O.A. when it recently showed up on development's doorstep in a drunken stupor.
Don't even get me started on the classless attack on Dragon Fighterz - a picture demanded by the public and creating legitimate excitement.
Clean yourself up.
Grow up, the two of you.
Another memo just leaked: Apparently Mark Slutsky is working on "developing" a project of his own - it's called a "sense of humour."
Thanks for making this personal. Very professional of you.
You see guys, this is exactly what I was talking about.
whatever Dan has against dragon movies is patently wrongheaded and foolish. this idea is clearly a goldmine.
As much as I loved Dragonheart, I'm just not sure the world needs another Dragon movie so soon. But, then again, maybe I should heed the films tagline: You will believe. Maybe this all comes from a certain uneasiness I felt as a child while watching Pete's Dragon. There was just something wrong with that movie. Even though I have taken the films tagline as sort of a motto, Brazzle Dazzle Brilliance!
i never saw Pate's Dragon but the song Puff The Magic Dragon always made me very sad.
That was a sad song. At last, something we can all agree on.
I always assumed Pete's Dragon was a movie about Puff the Magic Dragon. It wasn't until years later that I relaized this was not the case.
