Writer/director Brad Bird is obviously a fan of animated films. After all, he was behind such respected and acclaimed titles as The Iron Giant, The Incredibles, and Ratatouille. Now, Bird is talking about his want to make another animated film, specifically one that is hand-drawn. Even better? He wants to see a horror movie done this way.
Bird tells Collider:
For instance, there’s never been a horror movie in animation executed at Disney-level quality and hand-drawn, I’m not talking about CG I’m talking about hand-drawn, but it doesn’t take a lot to imagine how cool that would be. If you think of the scariest parts of Snow White or Pinocchio or Fantasia with Night on Bald Mountain, you could do something really scary in animation and I think if you did it right, if you did it with all the art that Spielberg did Jaws, I think that it would be an amazing experience because there’s something intuitive about when people are drawing directly with their hands.
What do you think? Would something like this work or would it fall flat on its face?
