ITT: Albums that would've been ideal to adapt into animated movies.
>In the album's post-apocalyptic world, pollution is so bad that the populace are forced to wear Lifesuits, suits that simulate all experiences in a way that no one would have to leave home. The suits are plugged into a huge mainframe called the Grid, similar to today's Internet, controlled by a man named Jumbo. [Behind Blue Eyes]
>The story begins when Ray and Sally, potato farmers in Scotland, hear of a rock concert called Lifehouse occurring in London. Their daughter, Mary, runs away to join the concert, and Ray and Sally ("Sally take my hand, we'll travel south 'cross land") decide to follow her there on a road trip. [Baba O'Riley, Going Mobile, Love Ain't for Keeping] Bobby, the creator of Lifehouse, is a hacker who broadcasts pirate radio signals for his concert, where the participants' personal data is taken from them and converted into song form. [Getting in Tune] Mary meets up with Bobby and they develop a close relationship. [Bargain]
>At the climax of the album, the authorities have surrounded the Lifehouse [Won't Get Fooled Again], then the perfect "One Note" rings forth through the combination of everybody's songs. The police storm the place, only to find everybody has disappeared through a sort of musical nirvana. [The Song Is Over]
Preferably directed by Genndy tartakovsky, or the Animatrix guys.
Why not use the Lifehouse demos instead so you can adapt the full story?
Michael Ramirez
Violent J's Wizard Of The Hood
Luke Johnson
I was putting down the most well known songs to keep it concise
Benjamin Jackson
The Wall
Nolan Martin
At least mention the demos next time you repost this.
Cooper Morales
bump
Ethan Harris
that’s fucking disgusting
Christian Cooper
Not really sure if animation would work for The Who or not though, doesn't seem like their style.
Hudson Parker
"Happy Jack" and "Call Me Lightning" both have music videos that were also supposed to serve as pilots for a potential Monkees-esque T.V. series that never came to be.
Thomas Clark
Zoom
James Diaz
It hurts knowing that we are never going to get a true Lifehouse album.
Jaxon Bennett
You can just make your own playlist online. All the songs for the project are around.
Dominic Lee
Directed by Ralph Bakshi or something. Preferably released sometime in his heyday.
I know but a lot of them are demos which, while great, aren’t the same as a finished song produced for the album. With Keith and John dead, and Roger’s voice being so different from what it was there is no way for it to finally feel like a finished album in the way that Pete wanted it.
Carter Cook
Wut? Every single Lifehouse demo has a finished Who version, save for Greyhound Girl and Mary.
It would be the greatest rock movie never made. Not only a great jukebox musical but a complicated exploration of stardom and a based takedown of the genre's superficial image and phony ideals.
