Crazy concepts and unique storytelling are almost expected. The King novel delves into mythologies and settings that a live-action movie may not have the time or budget to fully realize. And even if they could, it may not appeal to mass audiences. Taking It to an anime series would ground the story in a genre where traveling between dimensions and giant monsters are more accepted.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<aside class=\"pmc-related-link read-more\">\n\t\t\t<strong class=\"pmc-related-type\">Read More:<\/strong><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.indiewire.com\/2017\/09\/pennywise-dancing-twitter-meme-outkast-taylor-swift-1201879254\/\" title=\"Pennywise Can\u2019t Stop Dancing to \u2018Hey Ya!\u2019 and More in the Internet\u2019s Best \u2018It\u2019 Meme \u2014 Watch\">Pennywise Can\u2019t Stop Dancing to \u2018Hey Ya!\u2019 and More in the Internet\u2019s Best \u2018It\u2019 Meme \u2014 Watch<\/a><br \/>\n\t\t<\/aside>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The project wasn&#8217;t without its problems, as Anderson notes that he was &#8220;pretty upset that [Duran] didn\u2019t ask me to use the artwork at all&#8221; before animating it.
