Yeah I found those on Jim Hill's blog too. There are a few more in the Dream Worlds book but not much. Whilst I know why studios don't want to release info and sketches on failed projects it is a shame this sort of stuff is so hard to come by.

Interesting. It is a shame there is hardly any concept art out there. I can find a fair bit on 'Fraidy Cat but nothing on this.

Thanks for the help.

Dream Worlds isn't a Dreamworks book. It is a book by Hans Bacher, a production designer on films from Beauty and the Beast to Brother Bear and he worked on Wild Life.

Is this the right folder for this?

I recently got Hans Bacher's excellent Dream Worlds book and he mentions the failed project Wild Life. Unfortunately he doesn't really go into any detail and the only thing I have garnered is that it was loosely based on Pygmalion and would be in 3D. Does anybody ...

This was a lot better than I was expecting. All the trailers I had seen for it looked terrible but I went along for the 3D experience (which was great) but was also treated to a solid movie as well. The actual 'animation' is still a little off but the dead eye problem which plagued Polar Express isn ...

I saw it yesterday. Some parts were kind of interesting, some cool scenes, but the film DRAGGED and had SO MANY plot holes and leaps of logic--and even worse than that, Judi Dench and Michael Caine are both in it, and BOTH are wasted. :(


You sure you were watching Children of Men because Judi ...

Le Roi Et L'oiseau is a film with a great critical reception but I don't actually know anybody else who has seen it. It's certainly one of the best animated films I have seen.

Trailer of Toy Story 3 before the film probably.

No I saw Goodfellas first.

I think I prefer Casino for a few reasons:

- It looks fantastic (far better than GF)
- It isn't as cartoony as Goodfellas
- I think the performances are stronger overall
- I can rewatch it again and again without ever getting bored and I just can't do that with ...

Casino is head and shoulders about Goodfellas for me.

The King of Comedy is great. Its probably a toss up between that, Mean Streets and Casino for me.

I hope they leave it at one and Scorcese starts directing interesting stuff again. The Departed was far from his best work and actually inferior to the HK original.

A few I'd like to see on DVD (and that didn't cost almost £100 to buy) would be:

An English subtitled release of Le Roi et L'oiseau
English subbed release of Cat City
Proper release of The Thief and the Cobbler (something I fear will never happen)
Flight of Dragons
R2 release of Hedgehog in the Fog ...

Crossed with Time Travelers Wife with a sprinkling of Bill and Ted.
