As for my live action/animated cartoon movie idea—ToonTalker—I wanted to merge various genres like the epic, a romantic love story, coming-of-age story, cartoon-meets-reality fantasy, dinosaur-themed action adventure fantasy (or Live Action/Animated movie), science-fiction/fantasy or even samurai movie.
But ToonTalker might not only be about Brandon's struggles against the evil Khan Morgo the Demon-lord as well as Brandon's adventures back-and-forth between a live action primary world and an highly stylized Genndy Tartakovsky/Samurai Jack-style and largely hand-drawn animated cartoon parallel/secondary world tethered into each other by portals inside any visual screen like a TV set allowing free passage between the two...but as much as it is such, it will mainly be an epic, romantic, yet unusually strange love story.
In fact, the central (and romantic) relationship at the heart of ToonTalker is going to be one between Brandon Robertson the Twelfth ToonTalker (who is destined to (finally) vanquish Khan Morgo the Demon-lord and restore order to the real and cartoon worlds), a live action American teenage boy from suburban Maryland, and Lillian Taiayaki, an animated cartoon Japanese teenage girl whom Brandon befriends.
My ideal character inspiration for Brandon Robertson besides my childhood self’s more adventurous half might be a young actor that I have recently discovered on the internet named Ezra Miller—best known for his roles in the likes of We Need to Talk About Kevin and The Perks of Being a Wallflower:
On the other hand, my ideal character inspiration for Lillian Taiayaki, an animated cartoon Japanese teenage girl whom Brandon befriends as well as falls in love with, is one of two Japanese girls (who happens to be an auto repairman’s two daughters voiced by veteran voice artist Kath Soucie) that Samurai Jack briefly passes by in the episode where Jack himself lost his sandals (Episode XXVI, that is):

Yeah, right now, for all the potential action-adventure and comedy bits involving toons n’ dinosaurs n’ samurai that I intend to include in my ToonTalker movie idea, I also wanted ToonTalker to be an animated/live action epic movie in which the love story is the primary reason for the movie.
In order for yours truly to help fund my epic live action/animated adventure ToonTalker, I wanted to tell an unusually strange epic romance whose story is centered on a real live action Maryland/American teenage boy and an animated cartoon Japanese teenage girl that he befriends in the animated world, but it is also to invoke those great love stories like Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet as well, but with none of the hostilities between both lovers’ families (in Romeo and Juliet's case) and with a happy ending instead of the usual tragic ending, as well as a yearning to make contact between the real live action world as well as the animated cartoon world rather than turn our weapons on one another (as in another case of Romeo and Juliet):

As for the growing tension that do feature in ToonTalker, it is that the real and cartoon peoples must speed the romance between Brandon and Lillian along if they were to be together forever, and their respective worlds are threatened with death and destruction by the evil dark lord, Khan Morgo the Demon-lord, aided by Khan Morgo's animated cartoon human accomplice, Mordred, and Morgana, Morded's loyal pet who also happens to be a silent but deadly female Ceratosaurus (a small-to-medium theropod dinosaur from the Late Jurassic); Brandon and Lillian must find the lost Emerald Shard and reunite it with the once-shattered Great Crystal Stone (a giant floating rainbow-hued crystallized monolith) that reposes in the Golden Castle of Taigon in the Land of Shangara before the real world and the cartoon world merges into one seamless world—but if Khan Morgo and his minions interferes, both lovers will fail, and all things whole and good will be destroyed!
Anyway, out of the seven genres mentioned above, I wanted ToonTalker to be mainly a live action/animated epic love story as much as it is a live action/animated epic adventure story with Genndy Tartakovsky toons, samurai warriors, and, let’s face it, dinosaurs.
And seriously, would anyone (i.e. the critics and/or the public) really accept an unusually strange love story (albeit one with a happy ending instead of the usual tragic one) involving an animated cartoon Japanese teenage girl and a live action American teenage boy from Maryland?Are you sure you want to delete this post?
