If the 90's anime series Samurai Pizza Cats got a big-budget movie reboot. Please please PLEASE make this happen, Hollywood. Even if it's not with these exact actors. I'm aiming for a tone similar to the original show: Action-adventure, but also very comedic and irreverent. I don't want something darker and edgier. I want the art style to take cues from the Sonic the Hedgehog movies and The Super Mario Bros. Movie: Keep the character designs essentially the same, but with impressively realistic CG textures. Also, NO LIVE-ACTION HUMANS. (unless it's done for a brief fourth wall gag.) We don't need a story about these characters coming to the "real world."
