Though I have fully embraced the CG animation medium,
I do have to admit that there is a strange sense of buzz going around for
the upcoming adaptation of Curious George to the big-screen. Animated
in the, uhh, traditional style, Curious George can be proof that
drawn animation still has what it takes.
Curious George Preview Pics
The good people over at USA
Today have posted some of the first preview images of the upcoming
animation Curious George [one posted above]. Coming to theatres
February, 2006, we have now been told that moviegoers can expect to catch
the trailer either on the internet or with Wallace & Gromit: The
Curse of the Were-Rabbit this Friday.
The Curious George trailer arrives
in theaters Friday with Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit.
In the movie, George's keeper, the Man with the Yellow Hat, gets a bigger role.
"The books usually introduce the Man with the Yellow Hat at the beginning. He says, 'Goodbye, George, I'm going to work.' He leaves, George gets into all his adventures, and the Man is absent until the end," O'Callaghan says. "My approach was to make it more of a buddy comedy."
The Man (voiced by Will Ferrell) is a timid museum employee who is reluctantly dispatched to the jungles of Africa to find artifacts for exhibit by his curator boss (Dick Van Dyke).
Even with the buzz, I am always skeptical about animations that try to go
back to the traditional style; it looks like kids are just over it.
