I agree with Heinlein ‘possibly the best science fiction I have ever read’. I cannot believe that there hasn't been a movie.

Probably one of the best books I have ever read and you are right about the movie. For years I wondered why this excellent story wasn't turned into a movie.

Until good 3D animation I wouldn't think it possible.

Muppets might work.

Those would be some awesome looking muppets!

It would be amusing to see the motie Fyunch-click start acting and talking like ‘their’ human. Using those motion capture suits you could do something like it.

And the warrior moties would have to look like living moving demons. Never miss, never break discipline, think tactics and killing and little else.

It is such a good story. Love story, mystery, intrigue, betrayal, contraband, a great mystery, a great secret, the big reveal, and the fallout.

A GREAT movie!

Because who ever owns the rights to the book hasn't sold the movie rights or who ever bought the movie rights is sitting on it. A not uncommon practice in Hollywood.
