Jim Hill had an interesting article today that mentioned that Don Quixote was in the works as an animated feature for Disney in the 90s.

If The Frog Princess is successful in bringing back 2D animation, how great would it be if Don Quixote were back on track as a Disney animated movie musical? It has such great, fun characters and an imaginative, timeless story. Anyone else agree?

But it's also a cursed property.

When not even Terry Gilliam or Orson Welles can get it made, you just have to let it rest.

Not to mention that horrid MAN OF LA MANCHA film.

(Peter, it's pronounced Mee-gell, not Mee-gwell.)

Agreed - that's why I'd like to finally see a worthwhile film adaptation of this story.

LOST IN LA MANCHA is as close as we have. But I cannot bear to watch that film again. It's too painful...

LOST IN LA MANCHA is a documentary about Terry Gilliam's Don Quixote film that was never completed. I beleive the leading man died.
