I just watched the new Dragonball Z special (Just torrent it)... I haven't watched any DBZ for a year or two perhaps... but when watching this the characters were as endearing, lively and exciting as they ever were... The characters history came with them so I instantly reconnected with them... It got me thinking about characters and how Disney used them... and how Tezuka used them... Ya know how Mickey Mouse or Astroboy starred as themselves in other comics or animations? Hmmmmm... Hollywood is so obsessed with pre-sold franchises these days.... films based on comics, games...remakes, "Reimaginings" blah blah... People like what they know it seems... BUT also as a creator you like your characters because you know them sooooo.... hmmmmm... You might see some familiar "actors" in my new film ^ ^
