New CGI film from creator of Mulan & Pocahontas

Post by Sotiris »

Image

Synopsis:

Gilbert the Groundhog loves Caroline with all his heart. That's too bad for him, because Caroline plans to marry into the upper crust of groundhog society, and Gilbert dwells in the deepest, dingiest tunnels a groundhog can dig. That is, until they start to flood!

When a pair of very special doves warns Gilbert of the troubles to come, nobody in the burrow will listen. To get Caroline away from those groundhog snobs and on the road to safety, Gilbert tells a teeny tiny lie. Of course, lies don't stay little for long! Two-by-two, a menagerie of kooky, crazy animals begins to follow them. Day-by-day, the journey grows more perilous. Pretty soon, Gilbert finds himself leading a rowdy zoo of birds and beasts and all kinds of critters through deserts and jungles and much, much worse...

...all because he told a lie. Now, the storm is come. The waters are rising. All these animals want is to run wild and free, but soon there won’t be any place left to run to. Gilbert had better quit digging himself into a hole, because it takes a hero to lead his friends all the way to Noah's Ark!


COMING 2012

I just need to say that I find those character designs horribly unappealing. That is all.

And this isn't Disney, so does it belong in this thread? We don't want people thinking that this is a Disney movie!

Uh, I'm not too sure what to think of this. :|

I don't like how it looks, but if it has someone talented behind it then who knows?

Really, now? They all just look terrible. They make the animals in Madagascar look half-decent. I know exactly what to think of this: :roll:

Are we sure it's Disney's Mulan he worked on. I mean there's this (which seems to be the same standard as this new CG movie):

P.S. I haven't read the Bible and don't know much about this subject, but aren't there supposed to be two of each animal. I definitely see three baby ducks, or I'm going crazy (which is a posibility).

It's 2 alright. The one standing on the title is one of the two in the ark. It is just a repeated image.

You're right, they didn't really specify. And I don't see how this new POS could be by the "creator of" Pocahontas/Mulan. Unless it was some bargain-bin rip-off version.

According to IMDB, he did write the screenplays for Mulan, Pocahontas, and The Prince of Egypt.

But this Noah's Ark doesn't seem like that type of movie.

Really!? This dude wrote the scripts for two very good DACs and DreamWork's best film to date, and he's reduced to this stuff? Wow.... such a very long way to fall.

People need to realize that writing for an animated film is a million times different then writing for live action. If you're familiar with a story artists job then you would realize just how much control they, along with the director, have when it comes to the story. The movie is continually molded to the directors' vision and may not resemble the original screenplay at all when done (not to minimize this guys contribution to those movies but just to put the extremely collaborative process all into perspective).

I wouldn't take this guys involvement as any indication as to the quality of this film. Not only did Disney and Dreamworks' directors, story artists and animators have a TON to do with shaping of those films, but this also seems like a production being produced at a start up studio with not credentials to go on.
