Disney to make animated Bloom County movie. |

http://www.mediainfocenter.org/story.asp?story_id=57875290LOS ANGELES - Miramax Films will co-finance and distribute computer-animated family films starting with "Opus," adapted from the popular "Bloom County" comic strip, the company said Thursday.(snip The character of Opus is a rotund penguin with a cynical world view - far from the heartwarming characters at the center of such films as "Finding Nemo."
"We agree that it's a challenge," Miller said. "How do you take the essence of those characters, who are a little cynical, and move them into a story that can reach adults at the 'Bloom County' level and children at their level? We think we have a terrific story."
The challenge has been given to screenwriter Craig Mazin, whose credits include "Scary Movie 3." "Bloom County" is written by Berkeley Breathed.

Breathed has done some kids books with Opus. It doesn't sound like we'll be seeing Milo, Steve, or Bill the Cat in it. Just sweet lil' Opus.
