Pitch To Disney Studios!!!

I WANT TO PITCH A MOVIE IDEA TO DISNEY MOVIE STUDIOS BUT hAS ANYONE GOT ANY TIPS ON HOW TO APPROACH THIS?

THE IDEA IS MAINLY IN EARLY STAGES!!!
THE Movies follows the adventures of two shoalin monks banished from the shaolin temple for a crime there did not commit and so there were forced to earn a living in a small village but a vicious gang of ninjas, who are rivals of shaolin monks, plot to invade the temple and steal the sacred scroll.

Live action or animation? Actually, either way it's a tough road, but good luck to ya!

First thing that comes to mind: get a professional agent or else the intern the bigwig told to scrap your unopened submission will get another intern to get another intern to scrap your unopened submission.

I see....

I see... nice pics.:D .The avatar one.Were you a part of it or anything??

Imagination is much more important then knowledge...

I don't think Shoalin monks are going to appeal to Disney, better to pick your target market a little more carefully.

My understanding of the Disney Theatrical division is this: Not counting Pixar, they usually have two movies in production at any one time. One of them is based on a classic (usually public domain) story, and the other came out of the head of Disney's... erm, head. Either way, it is not the norm for them to "buy" ideas from anyone, including outside AND inside sources.

Now the TV division, as I understand, IS looking for new material, but they're not likely to be interested in a movie concept unless it's playable as a series as well.

Don't forget, there's a lot of players on the block besides Disney. There's Warner Family, WB Kids!, Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network, Sony Animation, Dreamworks, etc. Maybe you had a reason to pursue Disney like I have/had a reason to pursue Nickelodeon. Personally, I think they're gonna say it's too close to Mulan, simply because there's Asians in it.

Ninjas have been done to death, like kitty-cats, dogs and bears. Cartoons are choked with ninjas.
There's really no other way to say it.
Disney, iirc, did something with Shaolin monks.........Shaolin Soccer--a live action flim. Might have been someone else, but that kind of thing doesn't usually go over that well. Mulan is considered a bit of a errant film, in that management at Disney didn't expect it to do as well as it did, and when it did do well, they chided the film because it didn't do as well as they then wanted it.
Suprisingly, Asian culture is still considered "too foreign" by most North American audiences, thus there's not a lot of mainstream releases set in Asia.

If you really want an idea to sell, make it different.
Make these different ninjas, and monks........unlike anything we've seen before. Just because they are ninjas and shaolin monks isn't enough "grab" to sell a premise like this

"We all grow older, we do not have to grow up"--Archie Goodwin ( 1937-1998)

I think Mulan was popular, because it had a rather heroic character in Mulan that appealed to little girls, and the career mothers of little girls. There aren't many stories out there that do that. The development brains in the studios should give that more thought. Not every little girl wants to be another Britney Spears.
