It can't be as bad as the new Hong Kong Phooey movie, though. They've got Eddie Murphy voicing him and they're not keeping the spirit of the original cartoon at all. Doesn't even look there's there's Sarge or Rosemary the Telephone Operator.Hex, I haven't heard anything new about the Hong Kong Phooey movie. Apart from the fact that footage of it got leaked around in 2012 that I discovered to animation historian Jerry Beck. I know that after I saw the trailer, Hong Kong sounded NOTHING like the late Scatman Crothers. They couldn't even find a decent soundalike of the late actor rather then someone who just uses his 'normal' voice(since he can't put the effort into creating a new voice since we've heard his regular voice too damn long) to voice the character?
But getting back on the subject of this. I just hope that the animated characters are 2D animated and don't be like what most cartoon characters have been getting with animated hybrids these days(cough alvin and the chipmunks cough smurfs cough).
