Don't you find it peculiar that in Gravity Falls there's a character named Kryptos that looks kind of like Crypto Currency?

Apparently there's a Pac-Man movie being made by the director of "It Ends with Us" Justin Baldoni but the production is put on pause do to some kind of lawsuit with the director so we might have to wait a while.

I don't know, What do you think?

Disney Veterans John Musker and Ron Clements wanted to pitch the film to Disney at one point but was scrapped due to Spielberg already obtaining the rights, There version of the film would have been like Snow White, but a 7-year-old girl and with dinosaurs in place of dwarfs.

!New Speculated Discovery!

I looked up the word Crazy Dog by Amblimation but found little to nothing but what I just posted.

Then I looked up the word Crazy Dog without Amblimation and found out about a Native American story so I assume this film would be based around that?
In the background of this picture of Steven Spielberg with Phil Nibbelink and Simon Wells is concept art for a unmade Amblimation film seemingly titled Crazy Dog and it has images of Native American boy and girl, Any one know about what this is?
