Spaceballs Animated Series in Production

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."

Yeah, that whole multiple-award-winning, multi-bazillion-dollar-earning "The Producers" musical must have really ruined the guy. He must be crying himself to sleep in his money bin.

http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=producers. htm Made $38,054,424 Cost $45 million Net loss $7 Million I wish I had 7 million to lose. I assume the play is doing better, but how much of cut of that is he getting? I don't think playwrites get very much in the way of royalties.

The South Park spoof of LotR was absolutely hilarious. If you haven't seen it yet, I highly recommend getting your hands on it. If I recall, the title is something like "The Return of the Lord of the Rings to the Two Towers Video Store" or something. Classic.
