Futurama.  I hear there is a movie in the works, however.

Subject: So what story SHOULD be made into a movie?

So we've been talking about how bad (or, rarely, good) a job hollywood's
done with many sci-fi movies based on books.  But as bad as they get
there's always that one story that you still just want to see on the big
screen, isn't there?

What's yours?  It doesn't have to be sci-fi.

For me I would love to see a three-hour Peter Jackson CGI "Watership
Down".
The animated version was very done (and very respectful of the source),
I thought, but shorter than the story could support.

With the technology today I really think you could do a respectable
"live action" version.  And the story, of course, is unbelievably
engrossing.

The chances of it being awful are really high but dammit I'd also love
to see an animated "Calvin and Hobbes" movie done by a responsible
studio.  The strip is so kinetic and energetic I think it could really
work as an animated work.

I see it as a traditional (cell-based) animation but somebody like Pixar
could also pull it off.
