SpongeBob SquarePants (terrible celebrity recast)
Think like a 2010's/2020's entertainment company CEO and recast the SpongeBob characters with A-List celebrities. Bonus points for choosing the most frequently cast or unfitting actors. (DISCLAIMER: This is not intended as hate against the actors themselves, just as a parody of franchises that replace professional voice actors with celebrities, featuring some of the celebrities who are often chosen for these recasts.)

If "A Christmas Carol" characters were animals
One of my favorite YouTubers, DazzReviews, reviewed an adaptation of "A Christmas Carol" called "Scrooge's Ghostly Tale." This movie makes all the characters animals, but Dazz pointed out that the species choices for most of the characters are really weird and seem to be chosen at random. My goal with this cast is to choose animals that fit each character's personality. If possible, I also want them to fit the "England in winter" setting, although some of my choices break this rule.

TinkerQuarry
A tragically obscure horror/adventure indie RPG released in 2019. TinkerQuarry follows a little girl with amnesia named Adeline who is trapped in "The Dollhouse," a supernatural dollhouse in the middle of a black void. The Dollhouse is home to all sorts of living toys, along with terrifying rats. Adeline must explore the Dollhouse, making some enemies and some friends, to discover her true identity and find a way out.

Ink Pen
Ink Pen is a meta comic strip about typical characters who you might see in comics (superheroes, talking animals, etc) interacting with each other in their off time. These characters are clients of the Ink Pen, a talent agency for cartoon characters.

Disney's Sonic the Hedgehog (90's)
IMPORTANT NOTE: In the spirit of the 90's theme, please do NOT add any Sonic characters who were created AFTER 1999. Characters from the cartoons or other adaptations are fine, as long as they were created in the 90's. There is now a separate cast for characters created in the 2000's and later! https://www.mycast.io/stories/disney-s-sonic-the-hedgehog-2000-s-spinoff

Molly and the Bear
A comic strip by Bob Scott, currently running on GoComics.com. This comic stars Molly, a cheerful little girl, and her best friend, a cowardly and neurotic grizzly bear. Bear often gets into trouble with Molly's uptight father, Dean, although Molly's mother is a little calmer and more reasonable. Molly and Bear have all sorts of adventures in their everyday lives.

Figment (Video game series)
A hypothetical movie or TV adaptation of the Figment games by Bedtime Digital Games. This series stars Dusty, a creature living in the Mind, the world inside a young man's brain. Dusty and his friend Piper go on adventures to defeat the evil Nightmares that terrorize the Mind.

Tabaluga (Movie reboot)
Tabaluga is a German media franchise centering around the titular Tabaluga, a young dragon who is the last of his kind. Tabaluga defends his animal friends from the evil Arktos, a sentient snowman who wants to fill the whole world with ice and snow. The franchise has included books, albums, stage shows, a TV cartoon in the 90's, as well as an animated film in 2018 known in the US as "Ice Princess Lily."

Jim Henson's Tale of Sand
A live action movie script that was written by Jim Henson and Jerry Juhl in the 70's, but never produced. Tale of Sand tells the story of Mac, an average joe who suddenly wakes up in a rural, Southwestern US town. He is tasked with travelling across the desert to reach Eagle Mountain. He is pursued by a sinister but elegant man named Patch along with many other adversaries. Later adapted into a graphic novel by Ramón K Pérez. NOTE: Some characters are given placeholder names because I don't know their actual names after reading the graphic novel.

Mr. Nutz
Mr. Nutz is a very strange and sometimes frightening platformer game from the 90's. It's especially notable for its two scariest bosses, Ograoum Papas and Little Clown. It also has a really great soundtrack. Let's make a celebrity cast out of it, because why not?

Aero the Acro-Bat
Aero the Acro-Bat was one of many "mascots with attitude" in the 90's created to cash in on the popularity of Sonic the Hedgehog. What if Aero made a comeback and got his own movie series with a celebrity cast just like Sonic?

Samurai Pizza Cats: The Movie
If the 90's anime series Samurai Pizza Cats got a big-budget movie reboot. Please please PLEASE make this happen, Hollywood. Even if it's not with these exact actors. I'm aiming for a tone similar to the original show: Action-adventure, but also very comedic and irreverent. I don't want something darker and edgier. I want the art style to take cues from the Sonic the Hedgehog movies and The Super Mario Bros. Movie: Keep the character designs essentially the same, but with impressively realistic CG textures. Also, NO LIVE-ACTION HUMANS. (unless it's done for a brief fourth wall gag.) We don't need a story about these characters coming to the "real world."

Classical Composers: The Movie/Series
I had a vague idea for a movie or TV series about classical composers living together, or maybe meeting up to achieve some goal. I'm aiming for a slightly fun and upbeat tone, but I still want the actors to be a good fit for each composer's real-life personality. Don't worry TOO much about age or nationality. Just make sure your actors fit the vibes of each composer.
