Images from IRON GIANT and confirmation of Animated Willy Wonka

Geez, seems animators and artistic types have really been digging the reports from the animation studios of late, because they keep coming back with more updates. This time it's Sir Spirograph, and he's brought these here images to prove from whence he speaks. All I can say is ol Brad Bird and crew are doing a damn fine job, and if this last pic don't get ya... well... are ya a geek or what?

Well Harry I'm here to tell ya that there is work being done on WILLY WONKA here at the Warner Brothers Animation Studio. Some pretty nice looking work, I'll try to sneak ya a look or two at what's going on, that is if the big gorilla in the tux doesn't kill me first. But tonight I wanted to bring you a look at a project that has everyone here at the Dubba U B doing that damn Michigan Frog dance.... THE IRON GIANT

This is a project that is just completely coated with love. The animators working on it are just pleased as can be. They walk around with goofy smiles as they animate and create their bedroom from the long ago. A comic book thrown around, etc. The story is fantastic and it's a toon that everyone should love.

If you notice the aspect ratio of these images I'm sending you... well that's what we're shooting in. W-I-D-E-S-C-R-E-E-N!!!!! Don't ya just love it? Always gave Sleeping Beauty that extra bit of scope (giggle giggle) This kid is every little boy ya ever did see. Going out on an adventure. A part of me believes this is what happened to a kid like Asimov or Bradbury. Surely they had some wild adventure back in the youngun age!

Now this image of the big guy, well that's a computer model test. And it's fantastic, no? Well I love it. Hopefully we'll get some good toys made, though knowing WB we'll get stuck with that crap Kenner turns out. Shit! Oh well, at least we have a brilliant movie. If I don't say so myself, and I will too! Listen up Harry, I'm gonna be doing some digging here, and personally I challenge Sir Etch A Sketch to pull out something from Fantasia 2000. But I bet he's run his course!
