The Mouse Is Looking For A New Navigator...


And another film from my childhood is being remade...

You know, when I was a wee, young lad, I had no idea how good I had it. I didn't realize that everything I saw was gold and everything I read was worth a mint. But the 80's sure are a treasure chest for studio Suits in the current world we live in.

The Hollywood Reporter
is reporting that Walt Disney Pictures is going to remake "Flight of the Navigator" which I remember fondly from my childhood. It's not the best film ever made, but it's a sweet, nostalgic family film that deserves more credit than it gets. Hopefully, whoever was in charge of the "Race to Twit Mountain," err I mean "Race to Witch Mountain" remake will be nowhere around on the development of this. You hear that Mr. Cook? You too, Aviv. Please get people who know what the heck they're doing... because whoever you put in charge of RTWM obviously didn't. And if you guys are the ones that came up with that then do me a favor and fire yourselves. Perhaps you can call Lasseter for help? He seems to know a thing or two about STORY. What am I thinking? The man is too busy with all those animated units, the Imagineering projects and the other live action adaptations he's currently working on.

Someone please stop these Suits from sneaking into my head at night and destroying the dreams of my childhood...
