Would you like to see AIDA as a animated film.....I would I think it would be awesome and they should let the original Broadway Cast do the voices....that would be amazing.

Yes, but Disney was opposed to the idea of blackface.

Posted: 5/18/05 at 7:12pmUm...I love Disney, I love animation, I love Aida. But, what's the point? I'd rather see a made for TV live-action version, frankly.

Oh, Michael. You do make me laugh. 
But seriously I do believe this is one of the shows Jackman wanted to do so it might be a live action film if it happens.

Posted: 5/18/05 at 7:25pmI'd rather have the people shown then doing voice overs as a animated film.

Well, I vote yes.
It IS time for an African princess. They've had darker characters (i.e. Pocahantas), but never a black character, and they need one. I think it would translate relatively well too (though, they probably want to change the ending...). AND, since clearly the animated world can't come up with anything orignal, it would be nice to have something that's not a sequel. Honestly, I think that they should start adapting musicals to Disney films, not the other way around. (Though, I do admit, I would see The Little Mermaid if I got the chance.)

Posted: 5/18/05 at 7:34pmI agreee they need to animate it but NO computer 3d!! I think it's also time for an African princess in the Disney Princess club anyways.

Posted: 5/18/05 at 7:40pmI think it's a great idea for them to have an African princess. I just really don't like the idea of it being Aida. Couldn't they do something original? Use a little Disney magic?

Posted: 5/18/05 at 7:43pmIf Disney were going to turn this into a G rated animated film, they would have to change so much of it, it would lose everything that made it good, ESPECIALLY since they would have to give it a happy ending. You can't kill your lead characters in a kids cartoon.

Posted: 5/18/05 at 7:44pmi think it would work...i was suprised they didn't turn it into an animated movie before the stage...they would cut alot of the music i am sure since there movies don't usually run over 90 minutes.

Posted: 5/18/05 at 7:46pmI know Disney produced it on Broadway and little kids probably went to see it, but I think Aida is kind of mature to be an animated Disney movie. I don't know how well kids will react to the not-so-happy ending. But i definetly agree that they should come up with a new animated movie with a black princess

Posted: 5/18/05 at 7:52pmDefinatly NO!
(Martha Graham from a letter to Agnes de Mille) "There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening That is translated through you into action, And because there is only one of you in all time, This expression is unique. If you block it, It will never exist through any other medium And be lost. The world will never have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is, Nor how valuable it is, Nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours, clearly and directly, To keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep open and aware Directly to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open. No artist is pleased. There is no satisfaction whatever at any time. There is only a queer, divine dissatisfaction, A blessed unrest that keeps us marching And makes us more alive than others."

Posted: 5/18/05 at 7:54pmI think if done right, it could work, but I'd still be against it. Turning AIDA into a cartoon, like I've said before, would give the people who hated it exactly what they would want - to be proven right.

"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

Posted: 5/18/05 at 11:00pmYes this has been discussed before. Aida was originally written to be an animated film, but during the development they decided it would work better for the stage.
#21re: AIDA as a animated film !!!!!!!!!!
Posted: 5/18/05 at 11:30pmWhile I do agree that Disney should have an African princess in a movie for once, I don't think it should be Aida. As someone else said, it'd have to be changed so much to fit Disney and it could very well end up being sing-a-long-ified. It could work but I'd prefer that they just leave it as is for now and be original and make up a new storyline for a movie instead of all these sequels.

The stage show wasn't all that explicit; they could probably get away without changing much.
Moot point, because I totally don't support the idea.
#23re: AIDA as a animated film !!!!!!!!!!
Posted: 5/19/05 at 12:10amAlthough should they make an animated film and use the OBC as the voices...I'd be quite interested to see what their take on an animated, cartoon Adam Pascal is. :-P Hmmmmmm...maybe I DO want them to make an animated Aida........
