Here’s my 8-minute selection mix of temp music ideas for something called “The Princess of Shangara”–which I intend to be the second Dexter’s Odyssey movie ever made–with two pieces of music from James Newton Howard’s music score for M. Night Shyamalan’s ill-recieved The Last Airbender (2010) and–sandwiched inbetween–a Phil Collins song called “Look Through My Eyes” that you’ll hear at the end titles for Disney’s Brother Bear (2003).
I think Dexter’s Odyssey might also be the title for part one of an intended twelve-part epic blockbuster of the same title rebooting Dexter’s Laboratory with hand drawn cartoon characters, CGI dinosaurs and live action locations as well as human actors, and with Dee Dee’s friends Mee Mee and Lee Lee as two of the four main characters (the others being Dexter and Dee Dee themselves). That intended twelve-part series of mine should hopefully be made at a rate of one movie at a time.
But in some future time, when aficionados will ever revisit and rewatch their most absolute favorite installment from the Dexter’s Odyssey saga, hopefully, it won’t be the first original Dexter’s Odyssey movie, but rather its epic first follow-up, The Princess of Shangara, which might be the title of the second or so Dexter’s Odyssey film.
Hopefully, The Princess of Shangara, being the epic sequel to Dexter’s Odyssey will be to the Dexter’s Odyssey films what The Empire Strikes Back is to the Star Wars movies and what The Godfather Part II is to the first Godfather movie: It’ll be the greatest and grandest of all the Dexter’s Odyssey films, not to mention, the ultimate Dexter’s Odyssey fan favorite, as well as one of the best sequels ever, hopefully.
In fact, like the second Godfather movie, my Dexter’s Odyssey sequel, The Princess of Shangara, will be a prequel and a sequel in one epic movie that is two or three or four hours or so. Not only would The Princess of Shangara (that is Dexter’s Odyssey Part II) pick up where the first Dexter’s Odyssey movie will leave off, but will also provide a history, a backstory and a personal dossier on the characters, so the epic Dexter’s Odyssey sequel The Princess of Shangara will not only go back to the past, but also go further in-depth into the world of Dexter’s Odyssey.
And hopefully, Dexter’s Odyssey: The Princess of Shangara mightshare some or much of the traits that made The Godfather Part II, Star Wars: Episode V–The Empire Strikes Back, and Christopher Nolan’s second Batman movie, The Dark Knight, worthwhile as great movie sequels, even though it’ll be a live action/animation mix with traditional 2D hand drawn cartoon characters, CGI dinosaurs and live action locations as well as real human actors.
Just my idea.
