Hey Greg, 1. On a visit to the movies not long the other day I saw a
poster for a movie by Dreamworks animation, called The Sons of Egypt (I
think). Did you have anything to do with that movie? If so can you tell us
anything about it? If not What are you working on (I know you've been asked
this before, but I thought that there may be a chance that by the time you
read this question you might be able to talk about whatever it is your
working on)? 2. Are the mutates now considered a race or just a freak
experiment? 3. How many races are there? I know that Broadway said there
were three, but then "what does he know?" 4. On a scale of one to ten, ten
being absolutely sure and one being no chance, what is the possibility of
Gargoyles actually coming back? I also realize that in a way you've
answered this question before as well, but I want a better idea of the
chances. 5. (notice I didn't forget the five!) Using the same scale what
are the chances of the movie actually making it to the theaters? I realize
you may not have any idea about this one. 6. Humans evolved from monkeys,
gargoyles evolved from beasts, but what did beasts evolve from? Dinosaurs?
Pterasaurs (I notice that that pterasaurs glide just like gargoyles)? What?
thanks.

1. That's PRINCE OF EGYPT. And, no, I have nothing to do with it. I know
it's the story of Moses, but it's being done by the Feature Animation
Division in a completely different building, in a different part of Los
Angeles. I've got nothing new to report on my own work. Wish I did. I'm in
development hell.

2. I don't think they qualify as a race, but I think any reference with the
word "freak" in it might not be politically correct.

3. He knows what he was taught. It depends on how you count of course.
We've met beings of four separate races on the show. Humans, Gargoyles,
Oberon's Children and the New Olympians. The latter, as I've mentioned
before are an ancient hybrid of Oberon's children and mortal humans. We've
also met Nokkar, who's a member of an alien race, and he's mentioned the
Space Spawn, who are still another alien race. I'm not counting "animals"
like dogs, panthers, gargoyle beasts, loch ness monsters, etc. I'm also not
claiming that this answer is definitive.

4. The odds are against us. But it isn't impossible. I don't know how to
quantify beyond that. I guess I'd have to say three or four.

5. I have no idea. 6? 2?

6. Humans didn't evolve from monkeys. Both monkeys and humans evolved from
a common ancestor. Same with Gargoyle Beasts and Gargoyles. I don't know
enough about dinosaurs et al to answer this question. At least not yet.
