Hollywood Sparkler

This animation film should have inspired a Hollywood (USA) movie in the late 1990s.

Here are some ideas---

Director: Alex Proyas
Release Date: Christmas 1997

Cast (these folks were younger and some less well-known then):

Sigourney Weaver – Baroness
Jennifer Jason Leigh – Lady Jaye
Connie Nielsen – Scarlett
Alec Baldwin – Flint
Ralph Fiennes – Duke
Michael Biehn – Snake Eyes
Liam Neeson – Serpentor
Bruce Willis – Destro
Twins (Tomax and Xamot)– Jean Claude Van Damme (double role)
Ben Affleck – Beachhead
Edward Norton – Cobra Commander
Robin Wright Penn - Pythona

Plot: Cobra plans an elaborate scheme to overtake Washington DC and make it a chemical weapons factory, and the GI Joes challenge their plans.

Comic book stylized stories always seem to make human issues more accessible to a wide audience, and G.I. Joe (Hasbro) is one of the best.
