According to Variety, Spaceballs is being turned into an animated series.

As much as I love Spaceballs (even co-opting the name Lonestarr for many a website), I'm unsure how to react to this. I mean, once the stigma of 'OMG! One of my fave movies is becoming a cartoon!!' wears off, one remembers that the film was basically a parody of Star Wars. Worst case scenario, the show is remake after remake of the film (as with Disney's hugely disappointing "The Emperor's New School"), but there was a rich gallery of characters in the film (albeit borrowed from previous characters) and the writing will be supervised by the film's co-writer, Thomas Meehan, so maybe it'll turn out fine.

Incidentally, this title's entry also acts as a reminder (to me and others) that John Morris's fine score will be released by the really cool guys and gals at La La Land Records in a matter of weeks.

Looks like the Schwartz is with me, after all.
