Parting Shot: Fan Made 'Captain Planet' Trailer Will Make You Think Twice About Dropping That Can On The Floor

Grace Baine http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1140761 and Don Murphy what do they have in the works for a recycling campaing for the new captain planet movie?

Where is Grace Baine http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1140761 Mother nature MNINP is will mother nature be angry if Don Murphy keeps mother nature at bay from captain planet. Planetees join mother nature on her quest to bring planetees to recycle your way to $1

K, 2 things:

First, I'm digging the Na'vi version of Captain Planet, nice motion capture in there.

Second, there's NO WAY Fox will let go off their rights to Captain Planet so an environmental movie is made. If anything they'll rewrite it and make the planeteers a group of oil rig diggers that save the planet. Oh wait, that was already made, it's Armageddon. Anyhow, moving on...

Tree-hugger propaganda. Well made though, I'll give them that. All of you who liked Captain Planet as a kid, you were getting brainwashed by Billionaire Ted and his America hating wife Hanoi Jane Fonda.

Top quality excellent work!

Why is the money I'm pushing into my screen not resulting in more of this???

This was pretty epic. I'd see that in the theater any day.

I'm thinking at first "ok here comes Corny in 3, 2, 1..... erm wait this is actually pretty cool". Cartoon Network should sign these guys and gals to do the feature film be it direct to tv or not they seemed to nail all the right notes. My one question though...
No Monkey? Coulda swore there was a monkey.

To paraphrase Shang Tsung: "FINISH IT!!"

Good silly fun and impressively produced, which I say despite having no nostalgic affection for the show (I remember it from my childhood, but never made it through a full episode, for I hated it).

Anyway, an honest question: what is the typical motivation for making an elaborate, involved, and by the looks of it somewhat costly fan-trailer like this one? (I say "typically" b/c obviously not everyone shares the same motivation, but, you know, generally speaking.) Is it meant to be a semi-serious "proposal" for a studio-produced film on the subject? Is it a sort of sample work, meant to be used for aspiring/struggling professionals in the film industry? Is it designed as "content" (ugh I hate that buzzword) for a specific website, meant to draw web traffic? Or is it really just done as a lark by friends?

Like I said, no one explanation will cover all fan trailers and in many cases it's a combination of the above reasons, but is there a general or common intention?
