NOTE FROM KRISTIAN:

Last summer’s “Final Fantasy” featured very
realistic computer-animated characters.
“Shrek” and “Monsters, Inc.” were huge successes.

The Top 8 Problems
Dealing with Animated Actors

8> Your star catches the Code Red virus from the Final Fantasy chick, and you’ve got to halt production for a week.

7> Seeing a therapist to figure out why she can spontaneously break into song with 30 other people.

6> Locked in trailer because you refuse to draw his entourage.

5> Frequent sexual harassment suits because he refuses to wear pants (Donald Duck only).

4> Insists on doing his own stunts because “gravity only works if you look down”.

3> Constant demands to be drawn with a smaller ass.

2> Ebert complains that they just have no depth.

and the Number 1 Problem Dealing with Animated Actors…

1> Your blockbuster sequel is almost derailed when early sketches of your female lead appear in Playtoon.
