That looks a whole lot better than I expected ...
What the fuck is this freaky shit?
We'll see what this looks like by the time it gets to the USA.
Not the best track record with animation, those Weinsteins. THE MAGIC ROUNDABOUT got turned into DOOGAL. Whatever changes Harvey Weinstein made to Rene Leloux's GANDAHAR, they were major enough that he saw fit to give himself a co-director credit on the LIGHT YEARS version of that film. Only carefully worded contracts kept them from gutting PRINCESS MONONOKE. THE THIEF AND THE COBBLER's "improvements" have been gone over at length. This could get ugly.
damn, that looks pretty cool.
