ANIMATION - from comic book to movie, and it aint Batman

appleseed

A looooooong time ago, before I got into computers, I drew by hand, and I liked to look at other stuff drawn by hand. I picked up this comic book (manga) called Appleseed back in '88 and thought to myself "Self, this would be "gangsta" if they ever made a cartoon out of it. Well they did, and it turned out far beyond my expectations. The movie is total CG. The backgrounds are photo realistic and the characters are done in cell shading, which means they move like 3d but look hand drawn. It makes "the incredible" look like a saturday morning cartoon. The story? I couldn't tell ya, I was too blown away by the visuals.
