Is it a law now that every geeky cartoon must have Mark Hamill and Clancy Brown?

 

[Ghostwind]

Yes. The law was passed in 1995. You must have missed it.

I dunno, but landing perlman as Conan-voice is pretty cool. I never even heard of this film until just now!

Is it actually theatre bound?

Or is it a made for TV thing?

Please not direct to video.

Hate to tell you but, it's a direct to video.

Still sounds pretty cool, even if it is direct to DVD.

It seems that way. Still, I think Mark Hamill is a great voice actor. It was ages before I realized that he played The Joker on the animated Batman series in the early 90s and I was a HUGE fan of that show.

That's awesome that they are making more Conan movies. I think it would be great to see some good, non-anime fantasy animation. Bring on Conan, Fafhrd & The Gray Mouser, Elric, and the lot! And no huge eyes, no spikey hair, no indecipherable plots!

I'm not complaining or anything. Just find it funny.

And big YEAH! on Perlman as Conan.

I think that's a perfect choice. Eagerly anticipating this one.
