That would be my question as well...I'm suprised there is no R1 DVD of this anywhere. -Dennis

Cool! Hopefully someone with a region free DVD player will purchase and review it for us! :) -Dennis

MMM...Korean DVD you say...will it have English subs? :) I wonder if it made a blip in the Asian box office since its release? -Dennis

Arise! Oh Mighty Thread, long dead and now ALIVE! :D Take a trip to the Korean Site to see the kick ass new poster for Wonderful Days. Pretty cool. Official Site It is being released April 18th, 2003 in Korea. Stay tuned on who (if anyone) picks up distribution rights for it here in the...

Netflix rules, it certainly does rule! Blockbuster/ Hollywood video do not carry "art films"; Netflix carries just about everything! :) Anyone needing more eye candy for Wonderful Days?? If you have a fast internet connection (DSL/Cable or better) go to the website, stay in the Korean site...

Kong: I think the title of the show when it aired in the U.S. was "Kimba the White Lion"...but the you are correct, the original title is as you say... And I think that I read that the main character in Japanese was called "Leo" not "Kimba" as in the U.S. dubbed version that aired in the late...

Rob: Agreed (to disagree) :D Seth: Me and the wife watched "How to Lose a Guy..." also last weekend and both of us "enjoyed" it as well (well, I "enjoyed" looking at Kate Hudson at least. :) I do have other friends and co-workers that are into more "artsy" stuff, typically people in my...

Rob: I will politely disagree with you; you might want to read page 1 of this thread... -Dennis

Just caught me on my way out... They photographed extremely detailed miniatures (all with Sony HD cameras, a la Spy Kids 2, AOTC) and combined them in shots with (sometimes) CG animated elements (vehicles, etc), digital paintings, traditional paintings, and traditional cel drawn animated...

I do exactly the same thing...though I used to watch tons of foreign/ art house films in the theater when I lived in NY (and was mostly single)...now I'm married to a woman who really doesn't like most art films/ foreign films, and live on the West Coast, where I'm more likely to watch a chick...

Jason: I finally watched the video clip...it's pretty cool; they built a crapload of miniatures for this, easily on par with some of the miniature work for the LOTR series/ SW series. Pretty neat...if you can wait for the media player version to download (I waited about 20 minutes on DSL, before...

I don't think it received a wide enough release for it to be seen by enough "normal folks" and because of that fact, it won't generate enough "buzz" or interest by Academy members to go see it. And couple that with the fact that Disney will be marketing its own films for Oscar wins; a work they...

Lion King, IMO, clearly falls in the "reimagining" category (without a lot of imagination, unfortunately) And the idea for the story/ specific characters/ scenes even! were lifted directly from...anime! D'OH! (At least they chose a good source to pilfer! :D) Osamu Tezuka's "Kimba the White...

Jason: Actual models? No way! I need to download that clip! The site seems to be down at the moment though...I'll have to try back later. Seth: The lack of innovation is precisely the problem. When you think about it though, when has Disney ever made a completely original story (original...

There is no doubt in my mind that "Blade Runner" & "Star Wars", among others, have hugely influenced/ shaped the style of anime that we see today. On the American animation front, I get the sense that Disney is completely out of touch with any inkling of an "adult" demographic. They have...

Just thought you guys would like to know...the Wonderful Days website is *moving* a lot faster than it wasn't moving the last few weeks! :) I'd check out the site while it's a rockin', the trailer and still images gallery are especially cool (saved a couple of images for my desktop already!)...

It's also interesting to note that anime was originally influenced early on by the work of American and European horror/ sci-fi films, American animation (Disney), combined with Japanese mythology and legends. And now, decades later, we look at U.S. films like the Matrix, and they are clearly...

Seth: I'm glad someone sees the point I was trying to make! :D -Dennis

I definitely understand your point Jeff, but I'm not sure the "style" of the animation of GI Joe matches well (or at all) with what I'd call "anime", the way the characters are drawn is distinctly "western", regardless of whether it was produced by a Japanese animation studio. My view is more...

Just curious...do you guys think we're at the point yet when the term "anime" no longer specifically refers to animation from Japan exclusively? Anime seems to have transcended that notion and become a "style" of animation. And a lot of Americans are involved in many Japanese animation studios...

That hated site "Aint it Cool News" :) also has a recent article posted about this anime, with some typical Knowles ranting...BUT it boasts several cool stills that load much quicker than the official site's 300 baud modem allow!! :D I suggest y'all check out the stills over there if ya...

That website is damn slow! Every once in a while I get in...I managed to download the QT teaser trailer from there last night, and it's fantastic...they have some amazing still images available also, which showcase the beauty of this anime. But if you're patient, it is worth the wait... :)...

Let's hope so! I have no idea what this movie is about, but the GORGEOUS trailer and really great (though slow) website show promise. Without knowing anything about the storyline, this looks to be a visual masterpiece of epic proportions, the likes of which American animation can only dream...
