I saw some new Mr. Bean cartoons. The style is kinda neat, yet really kinda scary. I love the Mr. Bean live action shows, but do they really need to have an animated version?

I see that George Lucas is starting an animation division similar to Pixar. I think he wants to get in on that "Toy Story", "Monsters Inc.", "Shrek", "Finding Nemo" money machine. Y'know, I guess if I were a kid, or had my arrested development at an earlier age, I would enjoy these more. I'm more of a 2D animation fan I guess. There's just something about the technique or style of animation that creeps me out. Can't really put my finger on it. It kind of reminds me of a comicbook I used to read. One issue, instead of drawings, they used photographed models and sets. That really creeped me out. I don't really know why.

But, good luck to George Lucas, I hope it works out for him. Money-wise atleast. I know he needs it.
