[quote="Oasis"]'Modern-day'? Aw man, I have a bad feeling about that. It makes me think of a cross between that 1996 film 'Kazaam' with Shaq in it and Enchanted. Hm... :roll:[/quote]

I've not seen the other films I know he's written (<span style="font-style: italic">Blast from the Past</span> and <span style="font-style: italic">Premonition</span>). <br /> <br />I do think that based on the little bit we've heard about this project...live-action, <span style="font-style: italic">Aladdin</span>, and modern...based on <span style="font-style: italic">Enchanted</span>, I think that Kelly could indeed do a fantastic job with the film. 2D animation, Alan Menken, and the idea of Disney poking a bit of fun at themselves got me pumped to see <span style="font-style: italic">Enchanted</span> the first time, but the story and characters were why I went back a...um...few...more times. The movie plays with fairy-tale conventions, but with a heart and sincerity within the playfulness and spoofing that help make it engaging as its own story. <br /> <br />That said, I wouldn't want this new project to feel like a retread of <span style="font-style: italic">Enchanted</span>, or of anything else. I admit to being a little worried beneath my initial excitement for <span style="font-style: italic">Enchanted</span> because I thought the 'let's spoof Disney-style fairy tales' notion was wearing thin. (Yes, I'm looking at you, <span style="font-style: italic">Shrek the Third</span>...) The movie approached the idea in a well-written way that felt fresh and engaging, even in the moments when it WAS predictable. I would trust Kelly to strike the right balance between a classic story and a new, modern one, but I hope that can be done in a way that feels fresh. Bottom line, I guess I'd say trilled, but not without a hint of nervousness, too. (Same as I feel about any rumored sequel plans for Enchanted, come to think of it....)</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subBlack/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row1"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>Oasis</b></span></td> <td class="row1" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subBlack/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Sat Mar 01, 2008 2:45 am<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: </span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">'Modern-day'?
