Apparently Robert Rodriguez may direct a live-action version of the classic 1960 Hanna-Barbera cartoon, The Jetsons, for Warner Bros.
Robert Rodriguez also met with Will Ferrell and Universal executives to offer his director skills in Land of the Lost, based on the 1970 fantasy TV series, in which Ferrell would star.

Here’s an old Bosko cartoon from 1930 titled “Hold Anything”. I love how the tortured mouse looks like Mickey Mouse. A cheap jab at Disney? Sure seems like it!
