>>6951469I would prefer a series, but if it HAD to be a movie...
>Get the Australian studio who animated LEGO Movie, LEGO Batman, etc. with their faux-stopmotion style and believable well made backgrounds and lighting>Get a bucket of random writers, maybe some of the more serious LEGO movie writers and a few old Animorphs ghostwriters for sheer grit, tap Greg Farshtey as their leader but temper his autism with a solid pre-existing plot structure like "the heroes arrive and have to do ____ ">For the love of God, get a Moari cultural consultant to make sure the culture the movie builds is original and not a 1:1 theft of a foreign language>Get James Earl Jones to voice the intro explaining the Biological Chronicle and Mata Nui's downfall>Definitely revamp the Toa designs into something more conducive of the animation style>Do lots of "unity, duty and destiny" stuff like the characters having to form Kaita and de-fusing due to disagreement, lots of internal juicy conflicts>DO>THE>FUCKING>BOHROK>ARCThe Bohrok arc was far more interesting and creepy than any others, would give opportunity for mild horror themes and would have amazing large scale set pieces like an army of Bohrok rolling towards just 1 or 2 toa, LOTR style. And give me some REAL battles, not gory necessarily, but using a sword as a sword. None of this wishy washy "waaah weapons are bad" Lego bullshit. I want a real primal adventure story. Oh, and for soundtrack:
>Lots of drums, maybe even tap Junkie XL, he's not fucking doing anything. Get leitmotifs for each individual Toa as well as Makuta, the villages and a general Turaga theme.The only other thing I could think of is have at least one Toa turn to the dark side, maybe Kopaka since he's a cold fucker. Just get the team arguing, that was always my favorite angle in the original because it feels so much more powerful when they unite. The whole of G1 had a feeling of these disparate cultures trying to cooperate.
