nice! i hope it appeals to a mature audience, too. and not in 3d. congrats to david + sun min! edit: i mean no to both 3d animation and 3d glasses.
Given the company that has acquired the rights, it will almost certainly be 3D animation. It can be as good or as bad as any 2D venture, but given that the original material is 2D it would be cool to see it done hand-drawn. And no stereo projection in any incarnation. Ugh.
I am excited about it! I am so happy to see a small company achieve so much. I just really hope this doesn't ruin the uglydolls brand but I have faith in David that he will make sure they do it justice.
Thanks guys! We will post updates on the movie stuff as we go at http://davidhorvath.tumblr.com/ which is also the same as http://davidhorvath.com We hope you enjoy.
Wow that's amazing! Will the movie be computer animated or traditional 2d animation? Will Ox have a big role? He's the best! And do you need story board artist ?
