During an interview to promote their newest Disney animated feature, TREASURE PLANET, directors Ron Clements and John Musker (both directed THE LITTLE MERMAID, ALADDIN and HERCULES) had this to say about the possibility of directing another animated science fiction feature.

"It's possible, sure," says Musker. "I don't think the genre's exhausted. For us, we like to have variance from one film to another, but it's a field that still has interesting stories to be told."

While it is clear that Clements and Musker want to return to science fiction for another feature, they are remaining quiet on whether or not they would develop something original or try another adaptation.

"We're kicking around ideas," says Clements. "We're at a stage where we can't really talk about [what we're going to do]. But all of that, I think."

TREASURE PLANET opens November 27.
