George Lucas is taking aim at AVATAR with CG Fairies!!! Oh, and it is a musical?

Hey folks, Harry here... So... Seems George Lucas is doing a Musical for Fairies. Ok smart ass, not all musicals are for Fairies! Unless you're calling me a fairy, if so you can snort my fairy dust! According to HOLLYWOOD REPORTER's Heatvision Blog George is producing with TMNT director Kevin Munroe helming, a big animated film in Pre-Production at Skywalker Ranch. Now - my first thought when I heard George Lucas and "fairies" was actually Brian and Wendy Froud. And in their world they're called FAERY or FAERIES. I think of this mainly because George did produce LABYRINTH which had Froud's stamp from top to bottom - and Froud is quite possibly the foremost artist that has gone into the world of Faeries in a non-cutesy manner. If this is in pre-production at SKYWALKER - I wonder if George will push the production to a more photo-real CG with his ILM to take us truly into a world of singing faeries... or if it'll be more cartoony in nature? Well, this could be in development for ages.
