I saw some great phantasm fan art over the years. David Hartman is a Phan and knowledgeable about animation. An animated Phantasm story could be less taxing on Angus. and they could do a pre Mike, Jody and Reggie Phantasm.

It could work. I wouldn't mind a Phantasm animated series; with animation the most fantastical, far-out stuff you can imagine doesn't necessarily cost the filmmakers much more to put on screen than a mundane scene set in a house or something, so they could really push the envelope for all the surreal, mind-bending, reality-warping stuff we love.
It would suck if it wasn't good quality animation, though. A lot of Western cartoons these days, like Archer et al, use that ugly Flash animation style which would really not suit Phantasm.

I'd be more interested in seeing the story progress forward after RaVager than any kind of prequel.

David Hartman is really cool. I met him at Monsterpalooza last weekend and he's a huge fan and I think he could do something really cool with a Phantasm animated series.

An animated version of Phantasm would be pretty d**n ace. As said earlier in the thread, with animation you don't have to worry about props and sets looking cheap or whether the actors are getting too old or have changed (something that the Phantasm sequels do suffer from - LeGros replacing Baldwin, Scrimm getting older, Thornbury getting fatter and balding despite how he's supposedly been dead for years...).
Trouble is, animation requires a healthy budget to do it well, especially for a visceral genre such as horror, and Phantasm's always sort of struggled with budget...
