Oh man, a Jim Henson version would just be amazing. The effects they would use on Calcifer alone would be fun to watch.
I like and respect Miyazaki, I do, (I love Kiki's Delivery Service) but (as much as people hate to admit) like everyone else he isn't perfect. I read somewhere that apparently when he first started working on the film it was much closer to the book, I've seen early art of Sophie having red hair but then the War in Iraq happened and Miyazaki felt it was more important to put his anti war message in the movie. I have to wonder if Jones had known that was going to happened if she still agree to let him do a movie version of her book or not.
