Remember this? I love this book. Its a classic.

Well. They've made it into a movie! I know. This so doesn't look anything at all like the original book. I've only seen the trailer so will reserve comment for now. Its such a huge leap to see it go from the original to this! At least for me. I'm sure its brilliant, I'm just saying.

Here's an interview with the animator, David Gibson.
And an article with more tidbits in Publishers Weekly.

I wonder what a movie done in cross hatch pen and ink would even look like? Could it be done? I would have loved to see the original characters recreated for the film. It looks like they took a lot of liberties with the story. Like, changed it completely. Hmmm.
