"Thru the Moebius Strip"

[Guest Daisho2004]

This movie sounds pretty good, I can't wait to see it.

"Thru the Moebius Strip", the most expensive animated film ever to come out of China is finally released today. The film, which has a budget of US$16.25 million and which features the work of 400 artists from eight different countries is based on the works of Frenchman Jean "Moebius" Giraud, who has had a major visual influence on the Western sci-fi genre. Interestingly, the film is said to be very much Western in terms of style, content and characterisation, and is the first from China to be made in English, with Chinese as a second language. It will be getting a major marketing push, with more than 100 copies being distributed across China, and with release rights having already been sold to more than 10 other countries.
