Their is a Facebook group dedicated to getting together browncoats and giving an example of how many of us there are who would like to see an animated version of Firefly.

Animated Firefly Facebook Group; http://www.new.facebook.com/group.php?gid=61221961583&ref=mf

We are not showing support for a kids version of Firefly, but instead a mature, witty and well scripted animated version of the show.

We have attracted some interest including that from an animation company that has also already in the past expressed interest in making this idea into a reality.

Facebook is a great way to approach this as it has millions of users, is very public, the word can spread easily through people inviting their friends as well as other means and it is also easy for users to join and support this cause(if they are so inclined).

Unlike our wishes to see another live action movie or show there are many good reasons to suggest that all we need is numbers and this could happen and be made well.

We just reached 500 members and we are growing daily.

The more we as individuals make an effort to get this cause out there the quicker we could see something come of this so we could really use your help.

I can understand that some fans might not like animation which is understandable but I and many others would hope that you would be able to at least keep an open mind and just see what comes of this.

If you feel the need to express why you don't like this idea I would like to direct you to a thread I started before I myself even fully realised the potential this idea had. My own thoughts on this evolved through discussing this with others so I would ask that you read mine and others later posts before setteling on a decision; http://www.fireflyfans.net/mthread.asp?b=2&t=36758

This thread you are in now is going to be kept active by myself only to make new members here aware of this cause and also keep current members updated on any noteworthy activity within the group.

Hope to see you all there.

We are looking to see if any fans with artistic talent would like to post any of their Firefly artwork on the group. Its a great way to show support for this medium.

If we can get a few pictures too we are going to have some votes on some favorites and make that picture the new group cover picture. Feel free to send us any of your work. There is a section in the group where you can upload pictures.

I joined the Facebook group. It's an interesting concept. I read part of the previous thread, but it was long and seemed to be well paraphrased on the Facebook page.

Is there any way to get involved with this that doesn't involve making a facebook account? <_<

I'm paranoid, see, and facebook is a big scary warning sign with sirens and guys wandering around in black coats and sunglasses.

It depends on the quality. If it's done with Joss' involvement, good writing, the original cast and quality animation,then "HELL YES!"

If it's like the animated Star Trek, where the animation was lame, and the actors literally "phoned in" their performances, "NO THANKS!"

I'd given some thought to movin' off the edge -- not an ideal location -- thinkin' a place in the middle.

@Bytemite

Our main goal is to just show as many numbers as we can in one place to make this appealing to the powers that be but its understandable that not everyone wants a facebook account.

Just showing your support for this wherever and whenever it comes up by whoever brings it up is still a good contribution though so just keep your eyes peeled I guess :)

Also, if you don't really want your private information on the web you could just create an account with sparse details about yourself(maybe a different name too) and then join the group and then leave it be. You would still need to use your email to create an acount though so it's up to you.

Also, thanks Dewrastler and Macbaker for your consideration. Time will tell where this might go so we are all just keeping our fingers and toes crossed that we can get some serious numbers and that this can hopefully take off.

1)Series
2)Movie
3)Animation..........hopefully third time lucky :)

Hi guys,

All for anything FF/Serenity related but, and I hate to be the cloud in the silver lining, Fox still owns the TV rights (until 2012 I believe) so we'll still run into that fly in the ointment.

Of course, everything being equal, I would love to see a quality animated version, approved by Joss of course. Were this to happen we may get a revisit to our fav 'verse in live-action form.

For sure, animated would have less production losses than a revamped live action television series or a movie. More likely to get picked up then.

I tend to think that an animated version of Serenity would be easier than Firefly, but the tactics would be about the same. Show our support, and someone will find a way to make it happen.

Personally I think this is an awesome idea. Joss and crew are already familiar with animation. Joss was nominated for an Oscar for his Toy Story script, and Titan AE and Disney's Atlantis were definitely pretty good as well. Nathan Fillion definitely knows how to do voice acting - just watch the new Wonder Woman cartoon or play Halo (which actually had a few other Firefly cast members as well).

I say bring the animation on!

Another movie, although animated would still be great. A series would be better but I agree a movie would be easier and it would still be a good outcome. It also leaves it open for more movies too and/or a continuation back into a series if it did well enough.
