Is polar express 3-D? Zemeckis is also one of my favorit Hollywood directors: This is something i'm looking forward too
DreamWorks
Do you know that RtE was supposed to be an adult's cartoon? When it was first developed, the idea was to include foul language and make the two characters much more crude and streetwise (but still lovable). It was this vision that encouraged Kevin Kline to sign (and probably Brannagh. It's not often "Our Ken" gets to cut free with extended cursing so maybe this did appeal to him aswell). In short it would be the American Pie of Animated Movies!wizzer (about Road to Eldorado) wrote:to tell the truth i disliked it so much, i took it out about 20 minutes before the end. don't get me wrong, i love spirit, alot, but i just wasn't feeling the characters in el dorado. so i should have gave it a fair chance but the same day i watched, for the first time, great mouse detective, rescuers down under, pinocchio, and robin hood (disney bender) this movie just wasn't the caliber i waned it to be. the movie felt immature to me (coming from a 29 year old who watches disney all day) and the cartoon style was even bothering me although it definatly wasn't cheap looking, it just wasn't disney i guess.
But then Dreamworks lost faith in the idea and it ended up the watered down film we have today. But you can still see hints of it's genesis if you look hard enough. But that's probably why you didn't like the two main characters - they're neither true to the original concept or really fit into the kiddie film that the motion picture became.

also to someone back there was talking about WB studios and a new animated feature directed by robert zemeckis, and i haven't heard of it but it is now my most anticipated event. i was just explaining to my wife that after going thru all this animated stuff, the only thing that comes close to disney type quality is osmosis jones. visualy the movie is stunning-the animation is top notch- and the soundtrack bumps so loud- my cerwin vega loves it. and i think the WB studio gives the directors more leeway with what they can put in a film- thus you get cool directors like zemeckis and the farrelly brothers. i can't wait.
