The Pain Of Change
I’ve said before that adaptation is a real art. To make a story work sucessfully in another medium is one of the hardest things I’ve encountered to date. Especially adapting your own work. That said, I have so far made some good progress on the film treatment for Goodbye Dolly. Still not sure how the second and third acts are going to work (or where the first ends) but I do feel I’ve gotten a very good grasp on the movie versions of most of the characters.
But I do have to say that Monsters Inc was NEVER NEVER NEVER meant to be a Disney on Ice show. My mom won tickets, and while the costumes were interesting, it just didn’t work. I’m surprised no one was killed skating in those things.
