Originally Posted By Jim I read that once too, from an article I cut out. I think I read in the book Disney did that it was Elton John and Tim Rice's choice to take the idea to Broadway instead.

Originally Posted By bobbelee9 Thanks Jim for that, it was very interesting reading, and will make listening to the CD much more visual.

Originally Posted By xrayvision I would really LOVE for Aida to be animated into a full length feature film, showcasing the same great music from the stage show...but not drawn like that! That caricature of Aida was freakin ugly. Madyy looks SOOOO much better. Maybe, Disney will reconsider animating Aida in the future, and hopefully the characters will be drawn to be more pretty.

Originally Posted By belovedclassic Disney also has the Egyptian themed “Antonious" planned. I believe it has more possibilities than Aida. And remember Elthon didn’t like the idea at the beginning of “Aida†animated, he was afraid, but after that, he was composing “El Dorado†Who understands it ?
