Speedy Demons
Put yourself in the mindset of a development-strapped executive who's just been handed the rights to classic cartoon character Speedy Gonzales. What are the most hacky choices you could make for its film adaptation? "I know! Let's get the writers of Garfield for the screenplay, and George Lopez to voice Speedy! Oh, and this definitely should be a CG/live action mix." All those things actually happened. How close were you? [THR]

Oh yea, I was spot-on. As soon as I saw the sombreroed rodent I instantly thought, "Developemnet deal - "Garfield" redux - Lopez lending voice talent."
All this time I've ridiculed the intellect of the executives in Dreamland and now I learn they actually think like me. So I was completely accurate.
