I love that stuff.

Ahem!

Alfredo Norman "Pickles" McSpankypants-Winthorpe of Long Grange South III Jr. and I are mere acquaintances, thank you. Any allegations of spanking or pickling are mere whispered rumors, started and spread by our enemies.

I am not going to say anything about this paper.

Okay, you guys, some big news!!!

COMING THIS CHRISTMAS...

THE PHANTOM AND ALIEN... ANIMATED SERIES!!!

Or at least a pilot episode thereof.
Yes, I've been thinking about this for a while and with my brother doing animation at collage, it all seemed like the right time for it. So, this week, I'm going to start putting together a screen-play for a P&A animated pilot episode. It'll be about five minutes long.
The idea is that the series (if we think we can do a full series) will follow the story of Volume Three, albeit with some changes here and there for the different format. I think it will end up being about 10 episodes, each 5-7 minutes long.
Why am I telling you this instead of springing it on you unannounced like I usually do? Well, because we can't do this alone! Firstly, we need some voice talent! Secondly, I think this is something we should have fun with and I want as many suggestions about how to do this as possible.

As soon as I've got the script done for the pilot I'll let you guys know what character voices we'll need. I'll do Alien, of course

. Still deciding weather or not to get my older brother to do the voice of the Phantom as he did in all the previous animated specials, or to get the actual phantom. Unless he'd like to do some other voice.
So, take a look through Volume Three and think about a character you could do the voice for!

Now that would surely be amazing!

I, hmm, I would have to think about it, but I would definitely like to take part, whichever way. In the end, I think I could do almost anything. Unless there is, of course, a specific need for Legate voice which should be done by Legate.

I expect all people starting to fight for Mr. Mop <3 ! Otherwise, my probably most favourite people (aside from Mr. Mop) were in the previous part, so in case you wanted to make the Return of General Crock-Face (or somebody from his band), I claim him; otherwise, like I said, really not much of a preference, at least not right now. But I'll take a look at it...

Looking forward to it.

It's not just voice actors we'll need, too! It occurred to me a few minutes ago that we could do with some music that isn't copy-righted. So, if someone wants to make us some crazy music, that'd be good. We can fall back on the theme tune as established in the previous animated specials, if need be, but it'd be nice to get a Downer with some musical skills in on the action.

We might also need a director! I think that once we have the script and cast set, we should arrange a Skype call in which we read-through the script and make sure we all know how we want to thing to sound. It'd be good to have a director for this. I'd be willing to do it if nobody else is, but if someone wants the job I'm not against having less work to do.

I had a quick out-line session in my head earlier and I think these will be the voices for the pilot...

Peter Hampton
Beef Colins / Alien Collins
Gertrude Hampton
Jon Fillis
Fr Formy
Sister Mister
Baby Beef (Formally Baby Bob)
Baby Beef's father
Barry Wight
Saucepan Man
Beth the Barmaid
Boris

There may be more depending on how the script comes out. But I'm thinking the Pilot will go as far as Jon Fillis being given his bus.

Oh my soap! Coooool!

Maybe I'll get an audition tape done today...
