What makes Dr. Horrible unique, and all around brilliant, is that it is at heart a classic musical. The songs are addicting and drive the story forward, and the story is the heart of the piece, not the music. Dr. Horrible has a compelling story filled with unique and wonderful characters, it just happens to be a musical. That is how they should approach a Doctor Who musical, the story must come first, then the music. I have no doubt that Murray Gold and the Whales Orchestra would come up with some truly incredible songs, but if the story isn’t there it will feel like a big ol’ gimmick.

If ever there were a Doctor who I think could pull of a musical it is the Tenth as played by David Tennant. He says he’s a big fan of musicals, and frankly the prospect of seeing my all time favorite Doctor singing about the Tardis and his sonic screwdriver fills me with geeky joy. And I love Captain Jack, he really is the real reason I keep on watching Torchwood. John Barrowman is almost as fantastic as David Tennant, and they play great off each other on screen (seeing them both together again in “Utopia” was absolutely mind blowing). So having them both starring in a musical special would most likely have them both be fighting for the audiences attention, making the whole spectacle a battle of awesome.

But I know I’m not the only Doctor Who fan in the world, and this is just my humble opinion. But I do think that if they followed the lead of Dr. Horrible and focused on story as opposed to gimmick they would come out with a product everyone would be surprised at and enjoy.

Everyone loves Batman: the Animated Series, it is responsible for modernizing Batman. When we think of Batman we think about Kevin Conroy’s voice and Bruce Timm’s brilliant artwork. Conroy’s performance is iconic, as is Mark Hamil’s as the Joker. The most interesting prospect of an animated Indiana Jones is that it may re-legitimize the franchise. Just imagine, if you will, more fantastic adventures with brilliantly large set pieces and a myriad of villains, perhaps with the voice of Harrison Ford himself, gracing our screens every week.

Indiana Jones lends itself very well to a weekly cartoon, especially something along the lines of the 90′s Batman and Superman cartoons. At it’s heart Indiana Jones is an old fashioned TV serial, like Batman: the Animated Series. Who wouldn’t love to see Indie continue on his adventures every week?? And in a cartoon format anything and everything would be possible (hell, even those damn aliens would feel a tad more believable). They could have Indie be back in his prime, no longer an aged veteran he’d be in his hay day! I would kill to have this cartoon become a reality, and it really would be a huge success.

What do you think humble readers?? Yay or nay on an Indie cartoon?
