Superbird
Cartoon, warts-and-all biopic of the life of Lyndon Banes Johnson, 36th President of the United States, starting with his birth in Texas, and running through the second Nixon inauguration, ending with Johnson’s funeral two days later. Draws mainly from Robert Caro’s serialized biography and Johnson’s own The Vantage Point, with a little Doris Kearns Goodwin thrown in for good measure. It would feature unflatteringly graphic scenes like the assassination of Kennedy and subsequent swearing in of Johnson, his affairs with married women both in and out of office, his backroom brawling and deal making, and his habit of conversing with people while on the toilet. But again, as a cartoon.
