Who here's seen Spirited Away? · 4:56am Oct 24th, 2015
For those who don't know, it's an incredible movie by Japanese director, Hayao Miyazaki. He's famous for a lot of movies but for me, Spirited Away is just amazing. The animation, the story, the characters, really something worth buying.
Cutting straight to the point, I've been thinking of doing an MLP fanfic version of it sometime in the distant future. It would have all the same story, nothing about it would change aside from certain characters taking their place and a few add ons just to make things work. But first I wanted to know what you guys thought if it's a good idea or just too weird to pull off.
If you are doing a rewrite of a movie in mlp form with little to no changes... I'm going to be frank there really isn't a point since you could just watch the movie. If you would want to do it you need to tweak the story at least. Use the movie as a base for your own story.
That's just my opinion though.
3493721 It's mostly just for fun, to see MLP characters play the roles of the movie characters. It was just a crazy idea I had to be honest.
3494128 If you want to do it I won't try to stop you, it's an amazing story to try to retell.
3494665 Indeed. I thought of having Nightmare Moon be Yubaba and Luna be Zeniba.
3494953 I think Celestia would be a better fit for Zeniba, personally. Since Nightmare Moon and Luna are kind of the same entity.
3495004 Well, Yubaba and Zeniba were once the same person as well but their conflicting natures soon made them split in two. Plus they're supposed to be "twins" so I figured this would work.
3495226 It's been a few years since I've seen the film so I don't remember hearing it said that they used to be one entity. If that's the case sure Luna works for Zeniba.
