its a fucking cartoon?!?
Wednesday, October 24, 2007
Seriously. What the hell? I have been waiting For. Ever. To see the new Dragonlance movie, and the entire time that I have been awaiting its release, I was under the (clearly false) impression that it was going to be a CG movie. But as the trailer shows, it is definitely a cartoon. Apparently a cartoon of the 80s Saturday Morning variety. Think He-Man, or maybe Thundercats.
Not that that is in and of itself a bad thing, but the best fantasy series written since Tolkien's Lord of the Rings deserves better.
Oh well, I'll still be buying it when it comes out, straight to DVD.
In other news, I just now got back from a press appreciation event held tonight for DVD reviewers. I was in attendance as part of a group from a DVD company that I recently starting writing pro bono for. The event was awesome, though I ended up driving for 8 hours or so all told just to attend. They had a Halloween freakshow, lots of free food, I got to meet Natasha Eloi, and I got to go home with the Stanley Kubrick DVD library for free. I also got to be the ad hoc videographer for the night, and I think I did a pretty fair job of taping the various interviews and stuff. All told, a fun time. Now if if I can just convince the owner of the site (a friend of mine) to start paying his reviewers...

My husband is not amused. He is the die hard fan in the family.
It's a shame, I've been looking forward to this.
I was so disheartened to see this. It looks as if they farmed the animation out to the cheapest foreign outfit they could find - and coincidentally, that studio exists in a time warp. It's still stuck, sadly, in 1982. Elmore could draw better than that if he had to draw with his foot - while standing on the other.
I'm sorry to hear about you getting shafted on the movie. I saw a trailer and couldn't help but think the same sorts of WTF thoughts.
I'm just pissed off you got the Kubrick boxset for free. Ass.
