Azur and Asmar bought by TWC
(Posted In Animation Continental Europe and Russia Film News )
Michel Ocelot's gorgeous animated film was bought by the Weinstein Company in Berlin yesterday. This moves the film, which screened at Cannes 2006 (thus it has been finished for some time!), closer to seeing some sort of limited theatrical release in North America. Or what is more likely, a DVD. I've been looking forward to this for some time, and although TWC is not my first choice to acquire any piece of world cinema, I am glad someone picked this up.

When looking at the Weinstein's lamentable track record with animated films (it makes their treatment of Asian films look commendable) I cannot help but feel that this is discouraging news indeed.
