How Would You Pitch A Jazz Jackrabbit Movie?

Here's something everyone can jump in on: If you were to pitch a Jazz Jackrabbit movie, how would you envision it? You can take this as seriously as you like, this is just supposed to be a fun thought experiment, so go nuts.

I'll start with what I think is the obvious way to do it...
An animated comedy starring Billy West as Jazz, Rob Paulsen as Devan, and Jennifer Hale as Eva. It would roughly follow the story of the first game, with Jazz travelling through the galaxy in search of Devan's lair so he can save Eva, in hopes it will bring him fame and fortune. Jazz is basically how we see him in the comics included in the game manuals, Devan is into the theatrics of being a villain, but doesn't actually know what he's doing, and Eva just humours Devan out of pity. She's used to dealing with idiots, and he's no exception. For the final showdown, Eva and a bunch of Devan's guards hang out on the sidelines and take bets. Devan ends up going down after one punch.
As an after credits sequence, Lori and Spaz riff on bad sequels, talking about unnecessary changes, shoehorned-in characters, and pandering, with the punchline being Razz walking into view and lamenting the general attitude of potentially good sequels that try different things getting shot down in favour of safer bets that turn out bad.
