It's been done. <http://www.vuk.org/ascii/film/> has a number of
movie clips converted to ASCII, and then played via a Java applet.
If you aren't on a well-equipped browser on a fast link, forget it.
I do recognize the irony of this situation.

These movies were created with the SGI 'ttyvideo' package,
<http://reality.sgi.com/employees/cpirazzi_esd/ttyvideo.html>,
which lets you convert a bitmap animation or real-time video capture
(the SGI Indy includes a camera) to an animated or static ASCII version.
