: First and foremost, a big "Thanks" to you the fans.
: While we have yet to acquire the film rights to the book, we do have the home phone number of the person that does have them. You can rest assured that we will be calling around the clock.: As you know, several references the the book are woefully outdated. As such, we are making a few minor changes to contemporize the story. None of these changes will effect the story one bit.
: 1. Moxie and Pepsi will be a single character with a spit personality. This will also save money since only single actor is required.
: 2. Frito's companion, what's his name, will be portrayed as a female. Not only will this symbolize both male and female equally sharing the burden, but it will also supply additional temptation to Frito on his long quest.
: 3. Dickie Dragon will be replaced by either a huge voracious mechanical mouse in red shorts, or a large purple dinosaur. I think you'll have to stick with the huge voracious mechanical mouse in red shorts, because large purple dinosaurs are all too common around here. I don't think the movie will sell that well with a purple dinosaur(dragon).
: The inability to find a sufficent number of suitably sized swine has resulted in our decision to use shetland ponies in pig suits as mounts for the Riders of Roi-Tan. These are really nifty pig suits. : This will be the last update for a while. But never fear, we will continue to forge ahead despite the protests and threatend,or pending, law suits. Although, that old guy in the grey bath robe carrying the sign "Fordo Lives" is starting to get some of the staff worried.~Aelmer
