Jeff Smith’s Bone Has The Makings Of An Animated Classic (& Hollywood Needs To Stop Chickening Out)

From reading Jeff Smith's interview with Ain't It Cool News, it's obvious he's precious about the source material. He goes on to talk about how Nickelodeon wanted to change so much, and that didn't sit right with him. That's probably one reason why it's taken so long for "Bone" to get adapted. The world and modern sensibilities continue to change while "Bone" remains in its perfect form from when it ended in 2004.  And for some, a "Bone" adaptation may be the only way to find this story.

Perhaps that’s due to the fact that Pa wouldn’t be much help in a crisis, given he uses a wheelchair and is nearly mute, heavily medicated with the…
