Встречайте еще один компьютерный мультфильм.
"История кота" от Гонг-Конгской компании Imagi (она помогала DreamWorks создавать мультсериал "Отец прайда", а щас работает над трехмерными Черепашками Нинзя)....
Поразительная новость!
Студия Imagi ОТКАЗАЛАСЬ от производства "Истории кота". Мультфильм положен на полку.

Cat Tale Is Dead
Cat Tale, a proposed animated family film that was to feature the voices of Angelina Jolie and Billy Idol, has been scrapped, the producer and director told SCI FI Wire. "Cat Tale is on the shelf," director Kevin Munroe said in an interview. "It's not a slight on what's been done. It worked really well for what it was. It's the timing. It was the decision that tonally it's not what the company wants to do."
Instead, Munroe said, Imagi Animation Studios is choosing to focus on more science fiction and edgy animation, such as Gatchaman and Astro Boy. (Munroe also directed Imagi's upcoming animated TMNT, which updates the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise.)
Munroe and producer Thomas K. Gray work for Imagi, which is based in Hong Kong and Los Angeles. The suspension of Cat Tale owes something to the recent failure of animation films with talking animals. "We're several million [dollars] into it, but it was animals with happy talk, and we thought if we put it out there, it will not do anything, so we just said, 'Next!'" Gray said. "We do not want to do happy talking animals anymore. There is just too much out there. Enough already!"
Besides Jolie and Idol, Cat Tale was also going to feature the voices of Sean Astin, R. Lee Ermey, Alan Cumming, Chazz Palminteri, Wayne Knight and Michael Richards in a story about a cat who grows up in Dogtown and seeks out his roots in Catopolis.
While finishing up TMNT for a March 23 release, Munroe is finalizing the script to Gatchaman, about a superhero team. The company is also working on Astro Boy for a 2009 release. "We're in the middle of the script," Munroe said about Gatchaman, which is based on a popular Japanese anime also known as G Force. "It will have a different look and be very top of the bar, storytelling-wise." —Mike Szymanski
