I, for one, would much prefer that Bakshi didn't even know about Burrough's
Mars books, unless, of course, he was willing to put up several miilion
dollars of bond money to guarantee that he *fully* animated it, rather than
taking the shabby shortcuts he's so fond of.  Rotoscoping, tinting old
film footage, and skimping on the backgrounds are  not my idea of good
animation.  Personally, what with the improvements made with models and
puppets, I'd much prefer to see these books done as live action, since no
one will shell out the money to animate them well.
