Film Saturday Evening Cartoons

Posted by Paul Constant on Fri, Jan 2, 2009 at 5:00 PM

Tim Burton and Timur Bekmambetov have teamed up to produce an animated movie called 9 that's going to be released on 9/9/09. It looks like a cross between Wall•E and Lord of the Rings. It's a postapocalyptic fantasy movie, and this character is voiced by Crispin Glover:

Between this, the fancy-looking Up trailer from Pixar and the stop-motion Coraline adaptation by former Burton collaborator (on Nightmare Before Christmas) Henry Selick, the movies I'm most looking forward to next year are animated. That hasn't happened since I was 6.

You should definitely check out the original short version of 9 by the same guy:

This makes me very excited.

As opposed to Coraline, which I fear will be as godawful an adaptation as Stardust was.

Shit, for a second I thought the movie starred Crispin Freeman. Am I a nerd for immediately making that leap? Yes I am.

Burton is a fuckwit. Have you seen his Charlie and the Chocolate Factory? I will never see another one of his movie willingly.

If you wait until the very very very end of the credits of Up you'll see my son's name. Not as cool as if you got a Slog calendar but still.

Wow, thanks for the heads up. All of those look promising for their own reasons!

of course, there's this film, also, which just furthers my assertion that the Swedes can do no wrong.

Any movie that uses The Knife in its trailer is ok in my book.
