Seemed a relevant place to post, but Jon Dilworth is trying to crowdfund a sequel to The Dirdy Birdy

I've heard that he's been trying to get it started up. Would rather see a new courage show though.

[up]Yeah I agree. Although if there was a new CTCD, I would prefer if it was in 2D rather than 3D.

I'd be fine with either, but would prefer 2D.

My main complaint with the short is that Eustace's voice actor doesn't sound like him. It sounds like Wallace Shawn doing a bad Eustace impression.

I'm fine with 3D as long as they improve the character models a bit. While the 3D makes the monster in the episode look awesome, and Courage, Muriel and Eustace's bodies look alright, their heads and faces look terrible, frozen like dolls most of the time.

It's something I noticed in a few other 3D adaptations - 3D allows the Sam and Max series to do some pretty cool stuff in the Telltale games, but makes Sam and Max themselves less expressive even when they're doing nothing (if that makes any sense).

[up]Eustace had another voice actor after his first one retired.

I agree, the new voice actor for Eustace from the CGI short just didn't do the character justice. He sounded like a completely different person entirely.

Also, did anyone else think that "The Fog of Courage" vaguely reminded them of "King Ramses' Curse"?
