Euro-AICN Exclusive: The Producer of Arzak Rhapsody opens up about the new series, its art, and Moebius

Moebius should make some American cartoons by Don Pedro	Jan 30th, 2002 04:57:14 PM
Because they would be hugely successful and introduce alargely negligent American generation of children and adults to his fantastic work.
Mobius should NOT make American cartoons by RenoNevada2000	Jan 30th, 2002 05:13:16 PM
Because I severly doubt he would get the artistic freedom he seems to have on this project, sad to say. These pictures look fantastic and I hope that someone imports this series, not changing a thing- no dubbing of voices,no new music, nothing. Could we see the first televised series that was completely subtitled? I wouldn't mind at all.
Great pictures - Cartoon Network should pick this up by twan_deeth_ree	Jan 30th, 2002 05:20:50 PM
They've got the perfect platform for stuff like this. Cartoon Network has so much potential, they really should show more serious animation (Bakshi's LotR, more anime, Princess Mononoke, just to name a few). I would really like to see this series get some play in the U.S. I don't know if it's as big a deal to keep the subtitles, though. It seems like they usually do a pretty decent job dubbing animation as opposed to live action. Princess Mononoke is a great example of a foreign piece done well with dubbing, but then again they had Billy Bob Thornton, Billy Crudup and Claire Daines (among others) doing the voices. I'd love to see what a series done in Flash looks like, sounds like a great idea.
Flash 5 by Lujho	Jan 30th, 2002 05:27:38 PM
Animating with flash 5 for TV sounds very interesting.
flash 5?! by mansep	Jan 30th, 2002 06:24:50 PM
animating in flash 5 is extremely disappointing. and no i don't need to reserve judgement.
Flash 5 has it's uses by Kerraddock	Jan 30th, 2002 07:46:18 PM
Flash 5 will work brilliantly for this. I've used to it to create animation for TV, and the results were quite nice. As with almost any tool out there, it all about the quality of the user. Sure, any dolt can download the program for free and throw together a real crap lousy animation and put it online, but we're not talking about someone like that. I'm looking forward to this show, the design should be really amazing, and I have confidence that the animation will look as good, or better, than almost anything out there. You'd be surprised at the varied of use of Flash, from video games to television to kisok interfaces. Oh by the way, Verhoeven rules - http://www.mad-dutchman.com/cw /

Mo' better Moebius by Some Dude	Jan 30th, 2002 10:49:45 PM
Even Moebius rip-offs look cool, so this real deal will be sweet. Judging from the artwork, this is one flash cartoon I will be downloading. That and the one you can find at www.mad-dutchman.com/cw/------ ------------------------- BTW Citizen Toxie is worth checking out. I saw it at a test screening here in Manahattan. The best part was the temp-track use of "Duel of the Fates" during the fetus fight scene. If only LucasFilm wasn't so litigious. Oh, and Kerraddock is a crap-lousy man-animal.
Flash animated series by The Vok	Jan 31st, 2002 12:11:09 AM
A few animated TV series have been made using Flash up here in Canada, probably mainly to save money. One was Mr. Hell (the full title was something like 'Aaah, It's The Mr. Hell Show!', a co-production with the U.K.; it aired on The Comedy Network here and will soon finally debut on Showcase Next in the U.S. Another more successful series (though Mr. Hell has its moments) is John Callahan's Quads!, a co-production with Australia, which airs on Teletoon, sort of our Cartoon Network equivalent (though it's not nearly as good as Cartoon Network). Quads! has been nominated for several industry awards; I'm not sure if it has won anything, but it's probably the best adult animated series ever produced in Canada ... not that that's saying much. Anyway, neither show has anything in common with the look of Moebius' artwork, so I'm unclear on how his stuff will jive with Flash.
I didn't know about Mr. Hell and Quads! by Kerraddock	Jan 31st, 2002 02:39:30 AM
Nice. It's probably true that they're using flash to save money, it's not as elegant as some of the other software progs out there, but it's like 1/10th the cost -- and that's the cheap ones. Plus finding someone who can do the more rudimentary stuff is easier and cheaper. The more I think about it the more I'm excited by the Moebius project, from the little we've seen so far, not only does it keep the cool style, but I really dig the color palette. btw Some Dude, laugh now, but know that all your armies and all their advanced technology couldn't put up a measly five minute fight against the Gas Drones of the Home Office!
Time Masters rules!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! by Burp Fartman	Jan 31st, 2002 05:23:05 AM
My all-time favorite from Moebius.
Rendezvous with Rama is scheduled for 2003... by Aronld Scazziger	Jan 31st, 2002 06:23:52 AM
Well that was the latest word on it, I have heard. Just check corona or http://www.davidfincher.cjb.ne t/. In the end, I guess it won't see the light of day before 2005. The truth hurts, eh?
another Flash show by The Vok	Jan 31st, 2002 05:31:05 PM
I just thought of another ... aren't the newer episodes of Home Movies (on YTV in Canada and Cartoon Network's Adult Swim in the U.S.) animated using Flash too?
