Just a Parody Idea: An American Tail's Fievel and Tanya in the 24th and a 1/2 Century

[timbox129]

Hi, it's me again.

Now, if any of you have seen any Disney or Don Bluth films (An American Tail included) or even Genndy Tartakovsky's Samurai Jack, then you're all in for a surprise:

According to Film Threat.com, there is something strangely joyful about seeing beloved cartoon characters being abused by snarky comedians. Beginning with Marv Newland’s classic 1969 “Bambi Meets Godzilla,” there has been a subgenre of underground and outsider filmmaking where creative artists mischievously reimagine iconic animated figures in highly unusual or unlikely situations.

For examples:

Todd Graham’s “Apocalypse Pooh” finds the denizens of Disney’s Hundred Acres Wood in the midst of Francis Ford Coppola’s “Apocalypse Now”; Jim Reardon’s “Bring Me the Head of Charlie Brown” recasts the Peanuts gang in a Sam Peckinpah nightmare; and “A Charlie Brown Kwanzaa” (created by a filmmaker who has yet to publicly identify himself) offers the Charles Schulz characters channeling the spirit of the infamous Redd Foxx party albums.

The rise of YouTube has taken this wacky environment even further. Some of the better remix mini-masterpieces include “Gay Turtles in Space,” which borrows from the old Tooter Turtle cartoons and a slew of other unlikely sources, and an ingenious realignment of “Sesame Street” with Bert and Ernie performing the atrociously funny dialogue from Tommy Wiseau’s “The Room.” There's even Right Wing Radio Duck in which Donald Duck falls victim to the radio talk of Glenn Beck.

Now anyway, I had tried several different and rather kooky movie ideas for myself to pursue over the years, but considering that I once grew up with the American Tail films that were originated by Steven Spielberg and Don Bluth from an idea conceived by that guy who also created the killer doll Chucky of the Child's Play horror franchise fame, David Kirschner, long before I grew up with Genndy Tartakovsky's Samurai Jack or the like, here's my most recent one (and the following title is an obvious reference to Chuck Jones' 1953 short Duck Dodgers in the 24th and a half century, which is itself a spoof of Buck Rogers in the 25th century):

An American Tail's Fievel and Tanya in the 24½th Century!















These seven parody pictures are basically An American Tail's Fievel and Tanya (at least in their Fievel Goes West incarnations) colliding head on with Genndy Tartakovsky's Samurai Jack show, don't they?

The thing is...

What if An American Tail's Fievel (Phillip Glasser) and his sister Tanya (Cathy or Catherine Cavadini) gets unwillingly thrown nearly five hundred years from their own time and place (i.e., late 19th century Utah) and ends up in the future circa what Chuck Jones' Duck Dodgers call the "24th and a half-century", or 2350 A.D., where both cartoon mice seek a way to return home to their own time in the past and correct or undo the future while fighting all kinds of alien and robot and mutant enemies?


If so, wouldn't that make for some epic full feature length kind of science fiction parody/spoof adventure idea or so by way of Genndy Tartakovsky's Samurai Jack or even the aforementioned Duck Dodgers or what?

I was just kidding! For it's only just a joke!
