Agreed, this is a great find. I'm hoping we'll learn more about it as 2006 winds down...

Sighs.

Fine.

If it's out, I'll make time to watch it.

Uhm we don't know when it might be out. I checked with IMDB.com. They don't have anything listed for Lawless doing this.

Then there IS a god.

Mind you, I'm not objecting to Lawless doing voice role. I just prefer a live-action DL.

Oh, gee. I hope they use Rotoscope, like they did with Rankin-Bass LOTR.

*blows raspberries*

Some how I doubt we'll see a live action DL any time soon. There was something that Weis and Hickman said and that this was the only way they could get a decent version of Dragonlance on film.

Give it a chance. It might turn out Ghost in the Shell like or even Akira good.

Don't get me wrong, I like anime art. But there is only so much I can be exposed to.

What happened to the old-school "Made in the USA" animation?

Well from the little bit we know it does sound like it will be done in Western animation style.

I'm quite looking forward to this as it seems increasingly unlikely that there will be a live-action version. For all the work LOTR did to strengthen Hollywood's interest in fantasy movies, I'd guess the D&D movie managed to sour them on anything tied to that brand.

On separate podcasts, both Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman have said a cartoon is in the works. They are both very oblique about the who thing and don't give much information, though.

It took a nosedive sometime after Chuck Jones and the '50s, got branded as "kiddie" entertainment for 40+ years, and is only now struggling to regain its feet. At least that's how I see it.

At any rate, I looked into this, and found on some Dragonlance fan site that it's going to be CGI-animated. This disappoints me a bit, since I think it's so much easier to make something look convincing with cel animation. CGI often looks so realistic that it distracts you from going on -- I think this is called the "uncanny valley" effect, no? Besides, CGI just lacks the "made by human hands" feel of cel animation.
