Spaceballs Animated Series in Production

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Thursday September 21, 2006 @07:56AM from the was-this-something-everyone-was-clamoring-for dept.

Keith Russell writes "CNN is reporting that production has started on Spaceballs: The Animated Series, which will start a 13-episode run on G4 next year. Brooks himself will provide the voices of 'two characters', although they don't mention Yogurt or President Skroob by name." From the article: "Like the 1987 movie, which parodied well-known science-fiction movies, 'Spaceballs: The Animated Series' will spoof current blockbusters as well as every genre of entertainment from movies and reality TV to culture and politics. It is set to debut on cable network G4 in fall 2007. Production has already started on an initial batch of 13 episodes."

'Spaceballs: The Animated Series' will spoof current blockbusters as well as every genre of entertainment from movies and reality TV to culture and politics.

But will it spoof the spoof genre? Or is that like crossing the streams?

.... As I read this:

Lone Starr: Listen! We're not just doing this for money... We're doing it for a SHIT LOAD of money!

Barf: Oh, you're right. And when you're right, you're right. And you - you're always right.

Hollywood needs to close for a few years Till they can come up with a new idea.

You've got to remember that these are just simple actors, directors, producers and gaffers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know... morons.
