Les Miser "stuffed animals"?

Hello.

I am currently trying to put together a "stuffed animal" version of Les Miz.
I still need a title though. I know "Les Miseranimals" is already taken by the Animaniacs, so does anyone have any suggestions for a title?

Its gonna be a great show. I'm doing it mainly with cats and dogs. Its great. For example I have a chocolate lab for JVJ, and a siberian husky for Javert, and a Siamese for Eponine, and black and white cats for Marii and Cosette. (I matched up the characters' hair color or clothing, with the animals' fur color or facial expressions). I'm using the OBC recording, along with bits and pieces from the musical that I've seen on Youtube. (I've never actually seen it).

I'm a dork I know, but I still want to do this. Sorry for the extremely long post. Still, any suggestions? On a title, or tips on the production?

I'll get back to you on a title, but if you haven't thought of a dog breed for Thenardier, I think a bulldog would be a great choice.

No suggestions, really, but your username makes me happy.

Thanks on the username. I'm a huge DR. Who fan.

Unfortuantely I don't have a bulldog. I have to use a tabby cat instead. I chose the weirdest looking one though. Thanks for the tip.

So does the fact that you've appeared on the forum mean that it's the end of the universe?

Or just that Billie Piper will be playing Eponine?
badwolfwho3

oh no. "Bad Wolf" was the only thing that popped into my head at the time for a name. I just thought it sounded cool.

And that depends on Billie's singing. I don't even like her that much. Although she could play her. In an alternate universe.

Back to the point: Any tips on a name for my "production"?!

I think I'll have to start a new forum here. On Doctor Who/Les Mis crossover! Or something like that...

Oh, lesmisloony,

I'm gonna sound like a total newbie here, but that's ok. I am one!

Who is Montparnasse?

Sorry for going off topic. I just have to know.
Catherine

I'm going to answer that, but I know full well that later Loony will give a much more detailed description.

Montparnasse is one of the Patron Minette, or Thenardier's gang. He's a young attractive murderer who Loony completely obsesses over. He likes flowers and is rather fashionable too. His hobbies include mugging people and occasionally getting it on with Eponine. More detail? Read this...

"Finally, Montparnasse, a sorry creature. He was scarcely more than a child, a youth of under twenty with a pretty face, cherry-lips, glossy dark hair and the brightness of Springtime in his eyes. He had all the vices and aspired to all the crimes, feeding on evil an appetite that hungered always for worse. He was an urchin turned vagabond, a vagabond turned desparado, smooth, effeminate, graceful, strongly-built, pliant and ferocious. He wore his hat with the left-hand brim turned up to display a lock of hair, in the fashion of 1829. He lived by robbery with violence. His tail-coat was of excellent cut but frayed. Montparnasse was a fashion-plate living in squalor and committing murder, and the root cause of all his crimes was his desire to be well-dressed. The firt wench who had praised his looks had instilled blackness in his heart, transforming Abel into Cain. Finding that he was handsome, he wanted to be elegant: but the highest elegance is idleness, and idleness in the poor is another name for crime. Few night-prowlers were as much feared as he. At the age of eighteen he had several murders to his credit; more than one dead body lay behind him, face down with arms outstretched in a pool of blood. Hair waved and pomaded, a slender waist, a woman's hips and the chest and shoulders of a Prussian officer, cravat meticulously tied, a flower in his button-hole, a murmur of women's admiration accompanying him and a blackjack in his pocket - such was this flower of the underworld."
-Norman Denny

Eeek. Um.. thanks.

Sorry I asked.

I wonder what animal I could get to play him.

I'm thinking vulture. With a flower in his beak.

I'm going to read the book by the way. It looks long, but soooo cool! For classic lit.

Any suggestions on my title?
(See above)
Catherine

Definitely read it.

Raa, sorry I can't think of a title for you... I'll try to think some more..
lesmisloony

Montparnasse is a sexy murderer who has all the grisettes and whatnot throwing themselves at him but still (at least once) chooses to spend a few nights with a creep like Eponine. Which makes the silly fangirl in me squeak "It must be truuue wuv!"

Also he's sexy. And evil. Which makes him even more sexy.

Definitely more sexy than a vulture, trust me.

(Haha, Catherine, and you thought my answer would be long and detailed... and have more to say than yours...)

I haven't been around as much lately cos my lovely laptop Listolier is virus-riddled and vexing me.
badwolfwho3

Ok. How about a wolf?

They're beautiful and deadly.
lesmisloony

Sounds aight to me. Mr. Green
