Barti as a cartoon? Hell no.


I suspect that Barti will be a mix of CG and real animals. Some of the more exotic forms will have to be CG, but for stuff like the falcon, they'll probably use real animals.

CG will work for most, Bart's forms are mostly exotic.

Yes, please no cartoon.

I really don't want it as a cartoon 'cause no one will take it seriously. CG sounds good. I want them to use the same crew that did Lotr and I think Narnia. (not sure)

Weta workshop! Yes, they might use that too...like for the minotuar.

No, no cartoon.

Look how they slaughtered The Chronciles of Pydrian.

I wasn't talking about 'cartoons', i prefer not to use that term because it just smacks of Tom & Jerry and other such Saturday morning rubbish. I haven't seen the Prydain thing..actually animated films can be very complex and touching. Would like to point out that there have been disasters with CG as well (e.g. Narnia I know lots of people who didn't take that very seriously).

I'm not completely against live action (if it's the LotR team working on it then I say go right ahead!!) but I'm worried that some of the scenes in the books won't be pulled off very well. E.g. Kitty running around the rooftops=people laughing at the resemblance to Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon/the Matrix or something.. O.O With animation the possibilities are endless i.e. not really limited by budget or technology.

Yes, but it might turn into one big anime thing.

They could pull off the live action, they may have to cut some scenes, but still.

Animation is limited by budget even more than live action, simply because you have to pay for each frame that gets made, and the better the artists, the more you pay.
With live action, prices depend on sets and actors more than how many frames you want.

Yes, and the best (Dreamweaver) Costs a lot, but you can't make a a basilk prance about without CG

i REALLY hope they make a film- i'll be one of the first watching it for definate!
:lol:

No, I will. :P

I'll be rite there with you...I'm booking my tickets as soon as it comes out.

Front row seats too? (Well, I personally won't, just the 5th, 6th, or 7th row.)

I'll be standing there an hour before the movie starts and I'll drag my friends with me.

I don't know about an hour, thirty to fourty five minutes maybe. (Just if the movie looks promising though.)

I'd go even if it was crap. I have support it for the book

Well, if it looks like crap, I'll go in ten minutes before the movie starts.

Not that it will be garbage...

If it is garbage, I will slaughter the directer.

Good. I can take over and make GE
