Charlotte's Web Dailies

Today we had our first set of dailies for our next film, Charlotte's Web. While I won't discuss what we viewed (it was mostly internal work being developed for the show), I have to say that it definitely blows previous generations of fur shading and animal animation out of the water. The shaders, painters, animators and lighters are true magicians, able to capture the subtle nuances of an animal! If you thought Ray and Carl from the Blockbuster commercials were great, wait until you see the furry critters when Charlotte's Web comes out!

The writers for this film have previous writing credits on films like The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Chicken Run, James and the Giant Peach, 28 Days, Ever After, and more, so this would seem like a good sign. And of course, Danny Elfman is composing!
