This is not a joke. This is a pitch that would win funding at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival.
"Donkey Goldorak Trois" would, therefore, not be an American production. It would be a Franco-Japanese co-production, dripping with stylistic eccentricity. The "Trois" implies a trilogy—an epic narrative arc where a lowly donkey (voiced by a deadpan comedian like Jamel Debbouze or Philippe Katerine) somehow pilots a rebuilt Goldorak to save a parallel Earth where Napoleon won Waterloo and robots speak in haiku.
