on Jul 11 2006 03:28 AM Wow ... I don't know if that will be a good movie or not, but art like that is really hard to do. I mean, it's almost entirely in black and white and almost no gray. And even when they do use gray, it's only one value of gray and it's used for the background and not the character. It is really hard to draw that way. I wonder if the animators would ever break down and say, "Dang it, why can't we just do this in freakin color?" (Reply to this) |

on Jul 11 2006 12:37 PM Looks like a black and white version of that cg Spiderman cartoon they had on awhile back. I don't mean to say that is a good thing, alot of the characters look so very stiff. (Reply to this) |

on Jul 11 2006 09:39 PM Just what we've been asking for, a movie with some creativity!!...and it's from overseas!! (of course; since the American movie industry doesn't give their own opportunities to be creative in film, they hark on making remakes of remakes and used plotlines over and over again, unlike Europe) (Reply to this) |
