In Part 2 of our exploration of cartoon adaptations, we now reach the Thought Experiment portion.

With the ground-work and context firmly set for what films have come before, my co-host and I now offer up our own ideas for how we might adapt a particular cartoon into a live-action feature. To help guide this process, I spent the previous day (before this recording) writing up a series of detailed questions that would address each area of concern during a hypothetical pre-production process. There really is a lot to consider, and many things that could go wrong if not handled just right. But, lol, you can let us know what you think of our results.

If you'd like to suggest topics for future episodes, I encourage you to leave comments and critiques on your preferred podcast app. And don't forget to leave a review if our show intrigued or inspired you.
