Books, tales, myths, stories, etc. you'd like to see made into an animated film.
Pic slightly related. Western European folk tales always seem like top candidates to get cartoons, but rarely have I known something to be based off Eastern or Russian folk tales.

I've always wanted Disney to make a movie based on Russian fairytales.
I mean hell, they're making movies about Scandinavians and Pacific Islanders now, why not Slavistan?
Because Americans think that Russian fairytales are hyper ultra grimdark, even though they are as dark as all other fairytales which means that they were originally pretty fucking dark, but were then edited to be more kid-friendly.
I could say something other than porn but I figure you'll just see right through that anyway
I was going to make a post pointing out that the underdark in DnD (a lightless underground spider hell with nigger elves in it) is based of some russian shit but then I could not find a source for this FUCKING ANYWHERE!
I swear to god I read that somewhere, if anyone can confirm or deny this is really bugging me.
also OP I want an anime about

this nigger is irish hercules or something, and he goes into a nightmarish berserker rage that gets translated as FUCKING WARPSPASMS!
it took 3 barrels of water to cool his head when he got angry because the first one exploded and evaporated instantly before it got too close, the second one didnt leave him wet he was so hot, and the third finally cooled him down and brought him t his senses.
Ah, yes
This is the tale that inspired 2000Ad's Slaine
I'd love to see a an animated film that has the style and writing of Mœbius. If Alejandro Jodorowsky were the director, I'll pay full price for it.
that sounds awesome fam.
You know I kind of want to see a movie that does the whole story of Maui. I know Moana is kind of doing this already but they'll neuter it a bit since its Disney. I just wish we could see a full on Maui movie that shows his life and crazy adventures. That and maybe an anthology of Polynesian myths, that could be interesting. With each myth taking place from a certain island.
I think Miyazaki's designs were inspired by him.
You know i can see a bit of nausicaa in the 1st pic.
I guess I'd like to see some animated Lovecraft stories.
I can't think of anything spider-related in Russian folklore. Either you remember it wrong, or DnD authors used favorite American method of researching anything Russian - "Just make shit up".
As for niggers and spiders, the only thing that comes to my mind is Anansi.
Lev Atamanov, search for animated films under that name.
To be fair, it's his only work that is based on Russian folk tale.
There's a movie called Time Masters which Moebius did with Rene Laloux if you're interested.
Miyazaki was influenced by Moebius' Arzach at first. Most of the 80s sci fi and fantasy productions from Japan were heavily influenced by european authors, actually.
That looks scary as fuck my man.
Damn, I need to get on watching René Laloux's films, especially Fantastic Planet.
thanks for this recommendation user.
Monster Hunter International
didn't you post that on /k/? Also, good idea user.
I know nothing about /k/ related stuff. Why is that thing wrong in particular besides being fucking ugly?
It's not. It's stupidly heavy, clumbsome and will eat through ammo near instantly, but those are all traits of it in the book where it's wielded by this huge wall of muscle.
I just really like that picture.
I'd honestly like to see some of the celtic or druidic myths. Some of them make Lovecraft look like an optimist.
Not much on the writing, but Dragon's Heaven was massively inspired by the artstyle of Moebius.
I've always hopped for an animated Ringworld series.
As far as mythology the Kavevala would be pretty neat.
...
Fantastic Planet is all over the place though. It starts reeeeallyyy sloooow and it ends really fast. It's more of an "art piece" than an actual movie, like a real sci fi BD in movie format.
