Great writing for Clue? That film was a cheap cast-off just to cash in. And
they made three endings just to force people to watch it again rather than
just one the only decent one. Murder By Death wasn't that great a film
either. It had a stupid ending.

Airplane! was great, but only the unedited version. The edited version cut
some of the funniest jokes and took away it's irreverence. Airplane 2 was
good but it recycled too many of the jokes from the first film. (Both were
based primarily upon the Airport movies, which became ripe for parody after
they over-miked the series.)

The trick with trying to do an Animated Movie is that you have to be as
serious about creating it as you would with any other animated movie. You
have to have a good plot. Although Airplane! was a parody, it still had an
interesting story (which it basically ripped from Airport 1975). You also
need characters people are going to take an interest in. While they could be
based upon well-known animated characters, they can't just be copies or bad
imitations. It would be too easy to do an over-the-top Shrek like character
that's all fart jokes. An compulsively clean character, like an ogre, troll
or even a monk, would be better.

And even with it being a parody, it could be hard to make fun of Disney
material without getting thier lawyers all over you.
