Happily N'Ever After

[furtech]

Procrastinating on the year-summary post...
[No spoilers: this is just from watching a few trailers]

The good: MUCH better character designs than their previous film ("Valiant"--hideous designs where *everything* looked like a stupid pigeon, even the villainous German falcon). Mostly terrific voice acting (or maybe I just like Andy Dick).

There are three wolf characters (from various fables) who play almost exactly the same roles as the hyenas in Lion King, including an "Ed" character (boss-wolf, dumb-wolf, crazy-wolf).

The bad: One of the wolves has a great character design, but sounds like a doofus thug henchman (the kind that says "duh?" a lot); based on his design, he should sound more like a sinister Ricardo Montalban.

Because the film is CG and kind of stupid-looking, I'll have my work cut out for me trying to drag Zor to see it.

I think I'll probably be going to see it. I have to wonder which three fables the wolves are from, off the top of my head I can only think of two, the little red riding hood wolf and one from three little pigs.

What they do? Model the "lead" wolf off "Jenner" from "Secret of NIMH"? Give him a goatee-thing in that screen shot and.. there you go.

Speaking of furry critters... are you thinking of possibly going to Anime LA at the end of next month? I have a new furred outfit I'm working on for the masquerade, and would love to get your input if you are able to drop by ^_^

Ever watch the Highlander series?
They had a couple guys portray the main character... and the first one looked tuff enuff.... until he opened his mouth and sounded like a weak Peter Lorre,... :D !
