It is basically something that is a mixture of the comedy in Animaniacs and the action-packed Street Fighter cartoon. It is another multicrossover of Warner Bros. DC Comics, Marvel Comics, Capcom, Disney, and Square-Enix. It will be in CGI, Kingdom Hearts 2-style.

Here are the new and old characteristics of the characters:

New characteristics:
*Cloud, Tifa, Vincent, Yuffie, Auron, Yuna, Rikku (who I will call "Ryukku", her original working name), Paine, Tidus, Lulu, Sora, Kairi, Donald Duck, Goofy, Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Bugs Bunny, Lola Bunny, Ryu, Ken, Retsu, Allen, Sean, and Sakura are all portrayed as con artists.
*Cloud and Tifa are also rock singers. Also, 7th Heaven is owned by Barret, and is a restaurant, lounge, billiards, and amusement place where no alcohol is served, and all ages are admitted. Cloud and Tifa often sing there. Their rock band consists of Vincent, Zack, and Cid playing the instruments. In addition, both are ex-super-soldiers, both, as well as Zack, having been enhanced by the super-soldier serum.
*Most Final Fantasy characters, including Cloud and Tifa, are much more playful and upbeat.
*All shotokan fighters (Ryu, Ken, Retsu, Allen, Sean, and Sakura) are American. Retsu is Japanese-American, but the rest are Caucasian (white). In addition, Sean and Sakura are older; they are both aged 20, and are still students, but in college.
*Pesto and Sasha, from the Goodfeathers (male pigeons) and the Girlfeathers (female pigeons) are boyfriend-and-girlfriend, and do not get angry as easily as they did in Animaniacs. Also, Bobby and Squit are best friends.
*All characters appear very tall; most are around 5'10 to 6'4.
*The Looney Tunes characters all respect each other.
*Pinky, from Pinky and the Brain, is a bit more mature, as well as a bit smarter, but still likes to act silly.
*Ron Stoppable, the boyfriend of Kim Possible, is a bit more mature, as well as a bit smarter, but still likes to act silly, and is occasionally a little simple-minded. Kim also likes to act silly sometimes, has more tolerance, and is less arrogant and bossy.
*Sagat did NOT kill Dan's father; a clone of Sagat killed him.

Charactersistics that tie in to other appearances:
*Cloud is an ex-soldier from the Shin-Ra group, but was not in the regular grunt army; he and Tifa were in a rank between the regular army and the first class, where Zack was. They later joined AVALANCHE, and that was absorbed by the Ultimate Superhero Alliance. He wields a brand new weapon, a double-edged sword that can separate into 20 blades, and can extend up to 20 feet long. He appears similar to how he appears in Kingdom Hearts.
*Vincent's weapon has been changed into a laser shooter, but he is still a gun man.
*All the rest of the FF characters have their original fighting styles with slight modifications; for example, Tifa is trained in karate, kickboxing, and judo.
*The characters who appeared in KH have their appearances in this series very close to their KH appearances. Tifa's mini-skirt is replaced by mini-shorts.
*The SF characters' appearances look very close to the games.
*All characters from SF, FF, and KH can do their original special moves and super combos, as well as new specials and supers.
*Despite being con artists, Ryu, Ken, Sean, Sakura, Allen, and Retsu are all dedicated to their training.
*Ryu has a little brother, Shun.
*Ryu and Cloud sometimes have conflicts with Akuma and Sephiroth, respectively. The Dark Hadou and Geostigma affect both, and they overcome it.
*Sagat helped Ryu reject the Dark Hadou after both learned how Ryu defeated him with a devastaing Metsu Shoryuken (the true culprit was the Dark Hadou).
*Sephiroth was an ex-Shin-Ra First Class SOLDIER who became evil when he learned that Jenova was his mother.
*Marvel Comics villain Apocalypse transforms Akuma into Cyber Akuma, as well as Sephiroth into Cyber Sephiroth.
*Chun-Li is an Interpol agent.
*Cammy is a member of Delta Red, rather than Shadowloo.

If you actually make this and sell it to a tv corporation, I hope you either plan on getting yourpants sued off you, or you plan to chagne every characters name and apearance, or you get permission from the owners of all those characters to use them.

Of course I will have to ask permission. It's gonna be a very funny show.

Thank you. You're gonna like it; it's gonna be very funny. When I get older, this is gonna be an action-comedy series. I got this idea off of the Street Fighter and Animaniacs cartoons. Mix the two together, and put in Final Fantasy, superheroes, and other cartoon characters, and that makes a crossover action-comedy!

I can see it never getting made ever. Yeah, sorry Millionaire but there's really a 0% chance, and lower if it's possible, of this getting made. Hey, at least you're having fun planning it though.

Just contemplating how much money it'd take to purchase the rights to all of those characters makes my head hurt.

The Writer's Corner/RP forum is a good place to look for cheaper characters.

SuperMillionaire
07-09-2006, 07:46 PM
Well, I'll have to start saving up... Perhaps if I make a video game RPG (a mix of Kingdom Hearts and Marvel: Ultimate Alliance), and it becomes a big hit, perhaps I can do this. I'm also planning to work with a legendary filmmaker, such as Steven Spielberg, who created the Animaniacs.

Azure Chrysanthemum
07-09-2006, 07:47 PM
Better start saving now then, and hope you can get some windfall from a dead relative that happens to be the CEO of a Fortune 500 company. Because that's the kind of money you're looking at.

Roto13
07-09-2006, 07:48 PM
I dunno, I just don't have a lot of respect for any work that's made almost entirely (or entirely) of someone elses characters. Especially crossovers.

Giga Guess
07-09-2006, 08:13 PM
Exactly. I'm truly sorry, but if you want to make a hit, you have to have some innovation to it. This will never fly for two reasons:
1.) Not only are you looking for rights to other trademarked characters, but more specifically their babies, their main selling characters (albeit the reason you want them in the first place.) They'll never sell the rights to them, or at least not cheap.
2.) While TV seems to lack innovation lately, each show fills a niche. This seems like more fo a mish-mash of an amalgamate of storylines, with no cohesion whatsoever.

I know I'm being harsh, and I'm sorry for that, but if you want to drum up some support, I'd recommend going back to the drawing board, doing some heavy thinking and coming back with something original. Your heart's in the right place, really, it is. Just...think for yourself, as opposed to siphoning off of fanfics.

It WILL have some originality. Real events in history will influence the story.

Then it'd probably be more prudent to charicaturize the people as opposed to the current route of action.

The story takes influence from the Street Fighter cartoon of the 90s. They fight international crime and terrorism. It is also a musical, educational comedy, like Animaniacs.

Yes, and perhaps I might have these characters to tell people that drugs are bad for you. In fact, the voice actress for one of the characters, Rachael Leigh Cook (Tifa Lockhart), once starred in a "This is your brain on drugs" commercial.

I remember a similar project to this from at least 15 years ago that only existed because of that very message.

Oh Jesus CHRIST. You just dug up an unforboding memory for me in fifth grade. We were in health class watching this cheesy video about how drugs are bad and <img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif"> and it had Alf, Garfield, Teenaged Mutant Ninja Turtles, the Smurfs, and a bunch of other crap I can't remember right now. That had to be the cheesiest thing that ever existed.

As Giiga Guess said...I very much doubt this will ever get off the ground
I'm sure you have you're intentions in the right mind but it just sounds like yet another yound persons attempt to get it big.
You don't just become an animator over night. Go to college and university and get a degree. Then work for years in a small studio working your way up
All the best animators are in their 40s, it takes years to get that good.
Also your story lacks in many things. You may think that its original but its not. Make your own characters not steal them off other people. Its VERY unlikely anyone will sell you the rights to Final Fatasy characters mainly because you're Western. Sorry but the Japanese have a thing about it, they don't like the Western way of animation (well most of them don't, many companies won't let you work with them unless you're Japanese) So you can just drop the idea of using those characters.
Now you'll have to have a team of people helping you, most people in the business will not work with you unless they think its going to sell so you have to spend a long time making them see your way

Sorry about the rant but people telling you "sure go do it" is silly. If you want to make a cartoon go for it, but come up with your own ideas and start the hard work thats gettng into the buisness.

I still have that cartoon on VHS somewhere. That thing is hilarious. Here is my favorite quote from the cartoon

"Got 10 bucks? I know where we can score some crack."

Crack for 10 bucks. If the <img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif"> was that cheap almost anyone could support the habit. Hell...tell me where to get it for that cheap so I can sell it at street value :D

Get an RPG maker or Fighter Maker (or whatever it's called) and make it, then.

As said before, if you use those characters you'll never get the copyright for them.
Seriously MAKE YOUR OWN UP. Surely if you think you're creative enough to do this you can draw and design your own characters

Rengori
07-12-2006, 10:24 AM
I suggest you listen to the people who said make up your own characters, or else the entire series will have to made up of several hundreds to thousands of parodies. At which point you might as well call it Robot Chicken or Family Guy.

EDIT: And besides, if Pinky's more mature that kills everything even without all the other stuff.
