*Raph's Girl* · 09-15-2006, 07:59 PM

DreamWorks Animation is developing a computer-animated film based on Mr. Peabody & Sherman, the classic animated TV shorts about a time-traveling dog and his boy, Variety reported. Rob Minkoff (The Haunted Mansion) will direct the film, based on the shorts that were introduced in 1959 as part of The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show.

Minkoff developed the pitch for the film with longtime producing partner Jason Clark; the duo will oversee development. Andrew Kurtzman will write the screenplay with Clark and Minkoff.

Bullwinkle Studios' Tiffany Ward, daughter of the original cartoon's late producer Jay Ward, and Classic Media's Eric Ellenbogen will executive-produce. No release date is set.

If it's totally CGI I wouldn't mind teribly... but if Brendan Frasier is involved in ANY of it, I'll Scream! I liked George of the Jungle... but Dudley Do-Right was WAAAAAAY off. I mean, the dude playing Snidely whiplash was good, and I liked Eric Idle's cameo... but it was totally uneven.

Problem is with these Live action remakes of cartoons is you can either get it completely wrong (Inspector Gadget) or get every possible aspect right with one tiny flaw (Bullwinkle) and they still don't work too well.

The Underdog movie I pray NEVER EVER comes out.
