[quote=Holden Pike]It practically writes itself! Though definitely update the Cambodian locale to Afganastan (and no, it doesn't matter [size=1]AT ALL[/SIZE] that they have no indigenous elephants).


But I want no part in it. And if you pass these musings on to Eisner or anybody else at Disney, I will have you killed.

Seriously. :yup: [/quote]

[quote=Herod]This stuff is [i]gold[/i]!
We could turn the whole thing into a movie!
David Alan Grier is a cowardly private in the army, and he has to drop an elephant (Aptly played by Tom Arnold) into... the warring Cambodia!  Cambodia is where the female elephant (Roseanne Arnold) is awaiting her mate.  D.A.G. and the elephant get in all sorts of wacky adventures, in a film that can only be described with two words: Zany, and Madcap.

I tell you, Holds,[i] I smell Oscar.[/i]


The award that is, and not some smelly guy named Oscar.[/quote]

[quote=Holden Pike]David Alan Grier was also in the embarassment that was [i]McHale's Navy[/i] starring Tom Arnold.

Hey, how about Tom Arnold as the elephant?!?

[/quote]

[quote=Herod]Is true, I was thinking of other army-esque bomb [i]In the Army Now[/i]. but regardless of the lack of D.A.G. in [i]Dumbo Drop[/i] 'm sure no one would notice his presence at the ride.
Hell, let's splurge and get all sorts of obscure black comedian/actors.  We can afford 'em, cause it's Disney damnit![/quote]

[quote=MyRobotSuit]Garfield. :( [/quote]

[quote=Holden Pike]And besides, David Alan Grier wasn't even in [i]Operation Dumpo Drop[/i], let's cut the man some slack. That was Doug E. Doug, who's latest projects have been [i]Eight Legged Freaks[/i] and the [i]That Darn Cat[/i] re-make. But he'd be even cheaper than D.A.Grier!

[quote=Holden Pike]Anamatronic?!? Have you seen that dog of a show Bonnie Hunt has on ABC, or ever suffer through more than ten minutes of [i]"D.A.G."[/i]? I love the guy, but his career is going nowhere - fast. You could easily get the [u]real[/u] David Alan Grier to work the attraction, probably for a lot less than you'd pay the elephants.

Danny Glover too, sadly.[/quote]

[quote=Herod]We could have animatronic David Allen Griers that pop out from behind corners and scare people!  It's the most brilliant thing I've ever heard.
Quick, let's write up a proposal for Disney!
[/quote]

[quote=Holden Pike]Hey, where [u]is[/u] [i]Operation Dumbo Drop: The Ride[/i] anyway?!? It'd kind of be like the [i]Twilight Zone: Tower of Terror[/I], only you get to dress in fatigues and take the deadfall with a very scared (and likely sick) pachyderm!

"I ain't neeeeever seen no elephant puke!"

Then stand right about....here.[/quote]

[quote=Herod]Strange to think that Disney has made two entirely different movies about getting elephants to be airborne.
Countless more if you include movies about just [i]doing[/i] things with elephants.  Like getting them somewhere, or... [i]stuff[/i].[/quote]

[quote=MyRobotSuit]You should watch [i]Dumbo[/i] Holden. An elephant flys in that.[/quote]
