'Wicked' Reimagined As a Disney Animated Movie? We could hope!

ELPHABA:(sung)
They'll never bring us down.
(spoken)
Well, are you coming?

GLINDA:(sung)
I hope you're happy, now that you're choosing this.

ELPHABA: (spoken)
You too.
(sung)
I hope it brings you bliss,

BOTH: (sung)
I really hope you get it,
And you don't live to regret it!
I hope you're happy in the end!
I hope you're happy, my friend!

ELPHABA: (sung)
So if you care to find me
Look to the western sky!
As someone told me lately:
"Ev'ryone deserves the chance to fly!"
And if I'm flying solo,
At least I'm flying free.
To those who ground me,
Take a message back from me:
Tell them how I am
Defying gravity!
I'm flying high,
Defying gravity!
And soon I'll match them in renown.
And nobody in, all of Oz.
No Wizard that there is or was.
Is ever gonna bring me down!

GLINDA: (sung)
I hope you're happy!

CITIZENS OF OZ: (sung)
Look at her, she's wicked!
(shouted)
Get her!

ELPHABA: (sung)
Bring me down!

CITIZENS OF OZ: (sung)
No one mourns the wicked!

ELPHABA: (sung)
Bring me down!

CITIZENS OF OZ: (sung)
So we've got to bring her

ELPHABA: (sung)
Aaahhhhhhh!

CITIZENS OF OZ:(sung)
Down!

Dear Stephen Schwartz,

I know you can relate to the plight of loving a story, loving a medium, and trying to convince someone in power to see your vision! You did it with Marc Platt when you convinced him to make it a stage musical. I’m just approaching you with the same sincerity. Is it possible to talk you out of doing a live action movie adaptation? Would you consider doing a traditionally animated adaptation? In my heart I think the musical needs the medium, and I think the medium needs your musical. I just love them both so much and hopefully that shows through in the story reel.

Sincerely,
Heidi Jo Gilbert
