Anyone want to help out a screenwriter and breed some life into this thread?

I have tried to get a hold of a couple people on here but I don’t think anyone answers their mail.

Alexander:

Do you guys know the “Life and Times” series by the fabulous Don Rosa, where he tells Scrooge McDuck’s lifetime story in 12 (plus some extra) episodes?
The are brilliantly written and drawn. Very good humor, excellent storytelling, both heartwarming and a good laugh.

[spoiler]Plus, Don Rosa wrote several great Duck stories.

THAT’S just predestined material for a mini TV series. Let’s say… 12 Episodes for Life and Times, each 90 to 120 minutes long.

Who could do the voices?
Alan Young should do Scrooge, of course. Or Scrooges father.
Billy Connolly would be great, too. Maybe he could do a younger Scrooge? Love the accent!

I’d love to reunite Ernie Saballa, Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick.
Ian McShane as Blackheart Beagle.
Leah Remini and Fran Drescher as Scrooges sisters, Mathilda and Hortense.

But I am actually unsure how to treat Donald…
The classic difference between comic-book Donald and animated Donald is, of course, the way he talks. We must find a solution for this, and I think it’ll be worth the thought to drop the Clarence-Nash-style for an epic mini-tv-series… But here and there, for example when Donald throws a tantrum, we could get back to that.
Let’s try Denis Leary
as Donald. They both know how to #@~!!#

And, of course, because I had the idea, I want a little part somewhere. I’d do… hm… one of the Beagle Boys perhaps, or the Mayor of Duckburg… No, someone closer to Scrooge. Teddy Roosevelt? Buffalo Bill? Hehe, don’t really know.

Help me, guys, who should do the voices?

Let’s make it Widescreen, Surround Sound, HD. I wouldn’t mind a direct-to-Blu-Ray release.

John Lasseter, are you listening…?
If I hit the lottery, I’ll come by your office and we’ll discuss details.

Oh, boy. You have no idea… I just re-read the books and oh gosh, that was the first thing that popped my head. An animation based on Don Rosa’s illustrations, with all the little tiny details. Rosa’s story is so sad that I thought it would make an awesome gift for him, to thank him for his hard work. But putting Rosa aside, the story of Scrooge’s, is so so so touching. I don’t think that very many people realize(especially in the states) why Scrooge is the way he is, or how he became the way he is. His story is so moving and I think it would be a gold mine, if it was made into a full-length movie.
