I get the sense that today, i'd be searching for bootlegged copies of 'The Black Pirates of Mars' - because we all know how awesome clampett is when he works with Black characters XD
@LiimLsan The Black Pirates of Mars are NOT the stereotypical minstrel-show blacks of Clampett's work, and based on the accuracy of the name-dropping at the end, I don't think he would have tried to make them so.
What a shame that this was never made. It would have been a classic that film buffs would be still watching today. I just hope that the new movie being made reflects some of the spirit of adventure that was in the Edgar Rice Burroughs novels and doesn't try to be too modern.
And this is why I despise what animation has become, a bastardization of its true purpose- to capture life from the mind of the artist freely and entirely.
@Ralokone Well, it's being done by Andrew Stanton, director of Finding Nemo and Wall-E, so it's SOMEWHAT related... but yeah, it's not being done BY Pixar.
Yeah, but in all seriousness, we should be glad that Clampett didn't become the JCOM guy, 'cause then he would have left WB and never made some 50-60% of the absolute best Looney Tunes shorts of all time.
2 people dislike this because..?

It was actually going to be a feature length movie, not a short.

I think that any of Edgars' creations making to the screen will pretty much out-do at least 50% of what we are currently getting. Animation wise.

Thanks for posting! I assume this is from the Bob Clampett/Beany and Cecil DVD which is now a collector's item.
