Speaking of Heinlein...

Apparently, there was an animated 1994 TV version of Heinlein's Red Planet, featuring the voices of Mark Hamill and Roddy McDowell. How on earth did I not know this? (Second question: why, given his phenomenal sales, haven't there been more adaptations of Heinlein works? OK, Starship Troopers couldn't done better (and was a rather loose adaptation), but Puppet Masters did decently, for the B-movie it was. I don't know: maybe Hollywood filmmakers figure the didacticism and Pirandellian aspects of his later works aren't blockbuster-friendly, and I'm sure the Stranger rights situation (whatever that might be) is difficult... but the juveniles? I don't understand it.)
