Yahoo! has the new Clone Wars trailer in HD. Looking at it now, I think I have decided that I don’t think I like the visuals all that well. Some characters, like Yoda, look great. However, I think Dooku is extremely stylized in comparison to everyone else in the film and [...]

Here is a brief clip from the film: The Triplets of Belleville. The unique nature of the film makes it just a joy to watch and the story is quirky and original.
Or so I am told.
I haven’t actually seen this film yet which is odd because it looks to be right up my [...]

Well, I promised all of you a daily blog and as soon as I do that, work kicks into high gear and suddenly I am on 12-14 hour days and this thing falls by the wayside. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy my work very much, but I don’t like having [...]

/film has the story of Monsters vs Aliens. A new film by Dreamworks Animation that attempts to re-invent the B-movie creature feature.
The photo certainly looks interesting and very stylish as all of Dreamworks films do, however, I cannot help but be a little concerned about the fact that so much is being made over its [...]

I stumbled across some beautiful pieces of concept art for WALL•E Today. These were taking from the upcoming issue of Total Film which will feature an interview with Director Andrew Stanton. Don’t miss it!

Some images are starting to make the rounds and wow! Kung Fu Panda is looking fantastic!
You’ve gotta love great character design like this! Very clean, very distinctive, very refined.
I am also in love with the color treatment. My own personal tastes lean towards strong color schemes with a single dominating color and you don’t [...]

Did everyone get to see the Superbowl trailer for WALL•E? If not, then Poppa Matt is here to feed you:
