More Mirrormask news from Neil's blog...

Well, on Thursday night we showed the Sony Execs what there is of Mirrormask. 200 shots still haven't been fully rendered by the render farm so you'd move from real shot to blue screen shot back to real shot, but there wasn't anywhere where there wasn't enough of it finished and rendered at cut in to see exactly what was going on, and a number of sequences were completely finished.

"That was like Jean Cocteau's Beauty and the Beast... on acid... for kids..." said one slightly stunned exec at the end of it. My heart was warmed by the DVD extra-material ladies in the row in front of me, who didn't know what to expect, laughing at all the funny stuff.

Was anyone at Comic-Con? Wasn't there a Mirrormask panel?

Man, between this and Tim Burton's stop animation Corpse Bride, the era of ornate noir fantasy is back! I hope they announce an actual date soon for this.
