Children's story created by Berkely Breathed of Bloom County fame. Dammit we need a live action or new animated Opus flick.

Sounds interesting, is this his last animated flick?

If you mean Zemeckis, no. He doing the new version of The Yellow Submarines which will use CGI and mo-cap, similar to his previous animated works. But the thread's title is misleading. Zemeckis is not directing this movie at all, just producing. The director is Simon Wells, best known for directing The Time Machine '02 and the animated The Prince of Egypt.

for the opening titles



[BLACKOUT]I cant get Rob Zombies song out of my head whilst thinking of this movies titel :P[/BLACKOUT]

the problem is that dreamworks and pixar are making very detailed animated movies. and when someone else is trying to make a simple low budget animated movie it looks to simple compared to pixar and dreamworks.

animation and story is important. but tickets are nto cheap. i need details hehehee

It looks pretty good to me in that screenshot. Not Pixar level, but decent quality.

Zemeckis isn't directing.

Edit: Didn't realize Crockett said it first.

 

[That-Guy]

Zemeckis... whether you're producing, directing, whatever... go the f**k away, already. I'm done with you.

 

[ALP]

I saw the trailer with Deathly Hallows and I thought it looked extremely fun. I'm glad it's being done in a more cartoony style like Monster House as opposed to the lifeless type that Zemeckis prefers to direct.

And I thought the details looked really good too. What is the budget for this?

The man created Back to the Future. He'll always get a free pass for that.

Lol I was gonna post that. Every time I hear or read this movie's title I that song starts playing in my head.

The humans are so utterly creepy here and just distracting.

Why not make them stylized like the kids in Monster House? Stupid.

He does and he doesn't. He also did Forrest Gump & Roger Rabbit but I feel like for the past decade, he has truly lost his magic. Even with a project like Beowulf, which writes itself, was kinda lame.

To say that he get a free pass is kinda dangerous because, like anyone, he's not untouchable.

Yeah, but in the end he'll be remembered for his hits not his misses. Imagine if Orson Welles was judged by his misses? Or Marlon Brando? Yikes! They definitely had more misses by the end of their careers than hits but their hits were so strong that people don't remember (or choose to ignore) the other stuff.

 

[Octoberist]

it's more heartbreaking than career-destroying because I honestly believe that Robert is a little..delusional. He really wanted these mo-cap movies to take over the market and it's not happening. In fact, it's a little dangerous and I don't think he understands why.

 

[dark_b]

looking on the some CGI forums. and CGI artist are bashing and making fun of the faces. you know that you failed when your CGI artist are agaisnt this mocap face technique.

for the love of god.

 

[Octoberist]

I wish the faces were more like in the original book. Charming and cartoony.

 

[dark_b]

you know the original faces look cartoony. and they invest million's to make the faces look realistic. why go animated then?

this is just now a new trick in hollywood for cheap movies. making an animated movie like this is cheaper then making a live action adventure movie.

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

The movie looks kinda good but to me the animation is a bit weird. Maybe I need another trailer to change my opinion.
