Mina-san, Ohayou!
I *thought* I was above such things as posting crazy crossover
ideas (never mind the _Peter Pan 1/2_ suggestion I made ages ago).
Obviously I thought wrong, because today I suffered an inspiration
attack...
How about crossing _Ranma 1/2_ with... _The Court Jester_?
(You know - Danny Kaye? "The vessel with the Pestle"?)
It's perfect! I mean, just think of it: Kunou as the usurper
Tyrant (Rodrick?); Shampoo or Ukyou as the romantically inclined
princess (Gwendolyne?), depending on how you'd want to play her;
Cologne as the old witch woman (Griselda?); Ryouga or Mousse as
the Knight who Vies for the princess' hand (Sir Griswold?);
Akane as the female rebel sergeant (Jean?) and Ranma, of course,
as Hawkins/Giacomo, the acrobat clown turned jester and spy.
Anyone have an idea who to cast as the King's sneaky advisor
(Ravenhearst)?
I am not sure at all about the names, since I never saw them
written down and only know the dubbed version of the film. :6
Cologne mixes a potion to turn the newly arrived court jester into
the promised dream lover for the princess, full of passion and
vigour, infatuated with her (the princess, ya dope). It works
fine, only that she uses a wrong ingredient (Jusenkyou *Water*,
instead of Jusenkyou Wine) and as a side-effect Ranma is now
cursed like in the Manga. How the two curse forms correspond with
the two mental states I am not sure, but I think it's better to
keep them separate for increased humourous potential.
Oooh, I can just see Ranma-chan being groped By Kunou and escaping
by telling of the terrible illness that killed "her" father: The
Panda-plague! Waaahahaha!
Unless someone else desperately wants to write this, I will add
this project to the many, many others I have on the back burner.
Sebastian (Oh man, P-chan as the "wild boar", Ranma has to
wrestle...)
