Origins
The film that will be released in summer is a very different one that was originally planned, the film was not even in existence until in May 2008 Tom Fleming started working on the script that would involve a band of superhero's. Throughout 2007 many attempts had been made by Tom and the actors to make a live action film including the characters Mildred, Kazamagoo and Norris and in some cases the character of Kazamagoo was not included in the film.

Mildred Returns
The first version of the film was called "Mildred Returns" and was a live-action sequel to the animated film "The Adventures Of Mildred The Movie" which was based on Tom Fleming's popular aniamted show on Youtube, the film included a storyline which involved mildred being taken from his world into the real world, in 2007 the cast and crew got together and film the first half of the film but director Tom fleming was unpleased with the result that had been filmed so a pick-up was done over the next days that followed but with only half a film completed and the film was scrapped and Tom returned to making the animated series.

The Quest For The Phantom Heart
A few months later after the series had been completed Tom started on a script that would be bigger and better than the failed "Mildred Returns". The script that would take over the place of Mildred Returns was what Tom called a "Modern Sci-Fi Fairytale" and this fairytale would be called "The Adventures of Mildred and The Quest For The Phantom Heart" and in later drafts became known simply as The Quest For The Phantom Heart, Phantom Heart took on a much larger scale than its previous story this could be seen as Mildred Returns was a 27 page script and Phantom Heart was an 80 page script. the script involved aliens, evil demons and ancient mythical objects which would later appear in future scripts by Tom. Ultimatlly filming never commensed on the film as when it was written other aspects took over and halted the film from being made. the script is still in existence and plans have been made to alter the script and make it into a film in future years but these have not yet been confirmed

Echoes Of Time
After the demise of Phantom Heart Tom came up with an idea for a script which would involve time travel and monsters changning time this was to be the script called Echoes Of Time the script was started in early 2008 but it was clear that the comedic elements to the story which is what was needed in the script as the animations themselves are comedic was not going to fit and the films stroyline took a much darker and suspense led tone. This as with the other scripts was put away and never seen again.

Fantasmic Four
With all of the previous scripts not filmed Tom decided to take a different approach to the storyline and this included creating an origins story and a script that would take influence from the blockbuster superhero movies such as Spider-man and X-men and obviously the Fantastic Fourand he would also take scenes from previous scripts and add them to make an action/comedy that featured all of his characters and more. With the script being written before his GCSE's the filming would have to take place in the summer after the exams where over. One of Tom's best friends Ben Brown will be featured in the film as the Jewish sidekick Kazamagoo and Tom Fleming himself who will not only Direct, write, edit but will feature as the character of Mildred. Apart from Fleming Ben Brown is the only actor to have been in all of the films even in Mildred Returns where he plays a drunk called Crazy Joe who turns out to be Kazamagoo with amnesia. With Fleming acting in the film as well directing it another Director Of Photography will be brought in to help film the scenes featuring Fleming in. The film which will be shot in the summer and released shortly after filming will be the first live-action film featuring all of Tom Flemings characters from his animations and will be the final film to be shot before Fleming and his cast and crew go there seperate ways onto Collage and Sixth Form.

Future
The film is going to have a sequel which has already been started on by Fleming and will feature all of the main actors but will change some relationships during the film with a wider scope and featuring scenes in Israel and some in underground caverns it will be a lot larger than the first but when this will be filmed is not known it is possible that it will be due for a 2009 release but nothing has been confirmed apart from the title "Fantamsic Four II and the Curse Of The Blood Moon"

Wrapping It Up
it has been revealed that the films will be the end of the adventures of Mildred, Norris and Kazamagoo as "The Adventures Of Mildred" has already finished and that "Norris & Kazamagoo save the universe" will only run for one series this will be the end for the Animation Nation (originally Sticky Animations) characters as Fleming wishes to move on to other things and thinks that he cannot come up with any good and funny stories for the characters but he has not ruled out the chance that they may come back in a couple of years.

Animation Nation will also continue to make short animations and films but these will be based on other characters that will be created.
