8 February 2008 has finally come! Some cinemas have already shown the film once or twice this afternoon, but depending on where you live and whether you want the French dialogue subbed or dubbed, you may have to wait a couple more weeks. Click here to see the list of cinemas which are confirmed to be showing it, and when they will do so. As for which version they're showing, you'll have to e-mail them about that for yourself.
For more info and images, see this MySpace profile I made for the film – add it to your friends if you have one as well.
Less importantly, I just today discovered this amusingly gory parody of Ocelot's "Earth Intruders". More importantly, I also discovered this. Also gory, but also possibly the most spectacular stop-motion I have ever laid witness to. Many even the most spectacular of any animation (though it's hard to compare 2D and 3D). Thank you to jacbb for helping me discover this, through way of embedding it together in a post alongside the short clip of Ocelot's Les Trois inventeurs which I uploaded to YouTube.

My, is there a lot to catch up on! So much that it will take several posts to do so. Firstly, let's get the immediate stuff out of the way:
1. Czech stop-motion film Fimfárum 2 is currently doing the rounds in UK cinemas – catch it if can, and don't worry about the 2 – though it is, indeed, the second in a series (all of them based on the same collection of fairy tales) they are all separate stories so no previous viewing is required. It is doesn't seem to have gone though the BBFC, but if it was up to me I'd rate it for ages 12 and up – there is some brief bad language, but this more fhttp://www.blogger.com/img/gl.link.gifor the stories being rather impenetrable to children, at least two of them revolving around the natively adult theme of getting drunk and all using slightly archaic terminology.
2. The official UK Web site for Azur et Asmar has been online for a while now, with the release date is fast approaching, and I've put together a MySpace page to help promote it and spread the word.
3. Manganimation.net has posted some production art for two segments of STUDIO 4º's Genius Party: Masaaki Yuasa's "Dream Machine" and Shinya Ohira's "Wanwa, the Puppy." It's things like these which remind me that I love animation, just whenever I'm sure that I'm getting bored of it.
There's plenty more that I need to cover, but due to the huge amount of reading I still need to do, the only sensible choice is to leave all this on hiatus yet again.
Current music: Music? Why should I have time for music?
