For Better or Worse, here’s my pitch for an Illumination x Nintendo Star Fox movie, or
Brute Force meets Top Gun
Dylan McCloud (29, Filipino), Flight Technician, Lylat Aero-Space Engineering & Research center [L.A.S.E.R.]: Young Lady with an eye for aerodynamics and a head flight of fancy
Active imagination gets in way of checking altimeter and air supply, jotting fantasies on a personal notebook full of Lisa Frank stickers n highlights. Avid animal lover, mainly survival instincts
15 yrs ago, she wondered far from Corneria Park, befriended gang of woodland critters: a swift tailed risk-seeking red fox (Fox), an overconfident berry thief pheasant from the zoo near park (Falco), a resourceful pixie frog (Slippy), and a wizened old rabbit with a knack for survival (Peppy). They’re her ragtag flight crew fending off aliens and dinosaurs and rogue AI yet it’s just a daydream until
Colonel Starr assigns Dylan to analyze their Arwing’s specs for FTL space travel to a quadrant in the Stag Cluster. Excited, she enlists her woodsy pals as Team McCloud (l8tr Fox Team) 2 test them b4 human trials
Fox, Falco, Slippy & Peppy are fitted w/Detachable cyber-limbs 2 maneuver the controls, test the FTL travel diagnostics; 2-Way TransCom on the temples, group chat, develop teamwork w/o clawing/biteing ea other. Dylan assigns Fox on Command, Falco SIC, Slippy’s size perfect for Mechanic, and Peppy’s wisdom lends well to Analyst.
Jez O'Donnell, green-eyed rival engineer, fits prototype limbs & 2ways on a wolf, a chameleon, a pig and a panther from a Zoo, then proto Arwing, MIA for years
Blue-furred Vixen Krystal transmits to Dylan & co. of Wolf's Gang, crimes, Jez found, plus the other missing test animal, Anders the chimp, fully evolved as Andross. Now Fox Team, under command of friend Dylan and the bio-enchanced bloodhound Sgt. Pepper, must get Jezz and his renegade team back to earth and foil Andross’s revenge plans on humanity
yea not my best Starfox film concept, but cud b worse. Wait until the new Illumination Mario Bros. Movie we’ll see
