First off good news bad news type thing. Disney has decided to start making animation traditionally and I noticed that this weekend Jetix showed a series of Disney films including Fox and Hound, Aristocats, Robin Hood, and Atlantis. I guess my favorite of these was Robin Hood although I am liking Atlantis more and more. If you didn't see the interview with animator Marlon West discussing it then nows a good time:

The one thing that did dissapoint was the Tron or Tr2n preview from the Comicon. There's no link now because of course the pirated phone quality video someone made was taken down. It was less like a trailer and more like a peice of the film because usually they try to pack a lot of key action sequences into about 30 seconds to give you some idea of how they plan to save the world ect. It's hard for me to beleive that this was actually footage, but I guess Jeff Bridges <i>WAS</i> in it so...whala. You didn't hear it from me but the cycles now travel in arcs, veeeeery slooooowly. When one was destroyed I had no idea why, but probably the video game looked better, as is the case with Final Fantasy usually. It really DOES look like guys riding down the street on police cycles.
But, they are working on it so that is the good and the ugly; so here's the bad news, Paramount has backed out of the new Heavy Metal animation. I don't know why as I was to upset to click on the link which I will provide for your entertainment.

Nonetheless, I haven't heard any news from the Conan or Dragonlance camps either. Sooooo, what does that mean. Thing is, they aren't really turning a profit on CG movies either so why not let the animators onto the computers now after so rudely sitting thier FAT-asses down all over the excuse of high technology...neither Beuwulf or Final Fantasy made more than was spent, and just try to find numbers for Transformers...I dare you!
Here's a character sheet submission cel I sent in for Heavy Metal.(attach)

I'm drooling to see how the new SW movie will do; even tho it's rendered in that 'hypnotize kids' 3D way...it is.
