Awesome! I'm sooooo looking forward to this. Steampunk is my jam. I have such an unabashed love for Atlantis The Lost Empire, no matter what anyone says.

OH...MY...GOD...We did it! We did it! I never would have thought that the movie would have went over it's goal point! I can't wait to see how this movie will go and I really hope that this will bring 2D animation back to the movie market again!

At the rate it's going right now, hitting all of the stretch marks is still a legit possibility.

Looking for some stories?

That's not the end though, only step 1.

The plan is to make a short film and show it to potential investors. Making an actual feature is step 3.

Man I wish I weren't broke. x.x This guy could be the new Don Bluth if he succeeds.

[up]Considering the poor luck Don Bluth's has had since the 90s, I hope not.

[up]Actually, his luck is not so bad if you look at his life from a different perspective. He inspired hundreds of people to draw (including me) and animate (excluding me). He made Titan AE (which I believe to be amazing) and had success as a teacher and a theatre director. He lived to a ripe old age, is still in good health, and is beloved by many. He successfully directed 5 great movies, and 2 good ones (Anastasia, Bartok).

Is that what you call bad luck?

[up]Good stuff happening to him doesn't really erase what bad stuff did happen to him. Many of his stuff failed to find success, as much as we animation fans know about him to most people he is unknown (or worse, a lot of his work is credited to Disney), a lot of his stuff was later taken out of his creative control and crappy sequels were forced upon them, and many projects he's working on now are in Development Hell because studios are hesitant to fund him.

Yeah, it's great that we like his stuff and continue to appreciate him, and that he's alive and well, but you can't ignore that the animation industry has not been kind to him.

I agree, especially since it doubled the goal point it was making. If it goes any higher and they pitched this movie to investors, there's a possibility that they might take this movie in.

A movie? I thought they planed a serial?

[up][up][up]The industry is not kind to anyone. For example, the creator of THIS, and many others, were all fired because of capitalism. The only animation director who got to make most of his projects the way he wanted is Hayao Miyazaki.

Yes, and it hits some people worse than others. And Bluth's experience from the 90s onward is one I wouldn't wish on this guy.

Yeah. "Follow your dreams" my foot. In order to do that you need to take over the reigns yourself, like these guys are doing!

Let's be honest here, Bluth did most of his best work when he was working with Spielberg for a reason. He is a really good animator, but for a movie, you also need good directing. It is similar with Burton...there is a reason why the one animated movie he didn't direct but was mostly responsible for the creative input (Nightmare before Christmas) is easily his best so far. Not to put any of those guys down, but no outstanding animated movie was the result of only one man, you always need the right combination of talents.

I definitely agree with this. Sure, Don Bluth was a fantastic animator, but I think his movies like The Secret of NIMH and The Land Before Time did so well because they had great scripts and great direction and as long as this movie Hullabaloo has fantastic writing and great direction, I'm sure it will be successful in the long run.

With 26 days left? They should make that comfortably, considering it was 140,000 or so since I made my donation last night.

[up]Nope! There are still more stretch goals coming up.

Speaking of, the Mysterious Island stretch goal has just been reached!

Well, if nothing else the donations should be a demonstration that there is still a keen interest in traditional animation.
