It’s definitely good to be a Japanese anime fan nowadays. With “Robotech”, “Akira”, and “Ghost in the Shell” already gearing up for the big Hollywood treatment (with very notable names behind them, to boot!), fans of “Cowboy Bebop” can expect to see...

An official trailer for George Lucas’ “Star Wars: The Clone Wars” animated movie has finally arrived online. Dave Filoni directs this story, which takes place between the events of “Attack of the Clones” and “Revenge of the Sith”. It follows Anakin Skywalker...

The MarketSaw blog posted these images from Ilion’s upcoming animated movie “Planet 51″ last year, but, well, I didn’t get to it then, but I’m getting to them now. The blog also had videos from the movie, but they had to remove it when Ilion “asked” them to —...

Walt Disney Pictures and Robert Zemeckis’ ImageMovers have a great project coming your way — “Calling All Robots”, a sci-fi adventure romp that will use the same performance capture technolog that Zemeckis used for his “The Polar Express” and more recently, “Beowulf”....

The bearded one himself, George Lucas, was in Vegas over the week to premiere a 5-minute clip from the upcoming “Star Wars: The Clone Wars”, which according to Lucas, is set between the events of the second and third movie (i.e. the prequels, not the original ones). As for the animation style...

Geez, remember the first “Heavy Metal” movie in 1981? Or the sorta sequel in 2000 starring Julie Strain? Well forgot those, because they’re making another “Heavy Metal”, to be based on the ’70s sci-fi fantasy magazine of the same name. This latest “Metal”...

USA Today has got your first look at the upcoming Dreamworks sci-fi animated movie “Monsters vs. Aliens”, a spoof on the old ’50s sci-fi movies about invading aliens. The 3-D animated movie is scheduled for March 27, 2009, but first it’ll be shown to future distributors at ShoWest...

To be perfectly honest with you, I’m still not sure why George Lucas is making a feature length animated film based on that whole “Clone Wars” stuff and releasing it into theaters. But I guess he reckons his Star Wars fans will watch pretty much anything he puts out with the “Star...

Speaking of The Spectacular Spider-Man, he’s coming to TV in an all-new cartoon from the WB, and will be joining the network’s Saturday Morning Line-up right before The Batman, which has its series finale (re: its very last episode) the same week that The Spectacular Spider-Man will be debuting...

The Batman is closing up shop on the WB’s Kids programming line, and he’s going out with a bang. Or, specifically, a 1-hour finale that will guest-star the Justice League, as an alien menace called The Joining steals the League’s powers and transfers them to android versions. It’s...

Pixar’s “Wall-E” doesn’t open until June 27, 2008, but here’s your look at the film’s final poster (thumbnail to your left, bigger version below). Not exactly a mind-blowing poster, but well, it’s for a computer animated movie, so what do you expect? It sells...

In recent years, Marvel has been giving DC a run for their money on the big screen. Besides a couple of exceptions, most notably the “Batman” franchise, Marvel’s comic book-to-movies have overwhelmed their DC rivals by a healthy margin. But that isn’t the case on the small screen,...

A new image (at least as far as I can recall) from the upcoming Pixar CG animated movie “Wall-E”. Who wants to bet against this movie earning a couple of hundred million in its first few weeks? The year is 2700. WALL*E, a robot, spends every day doing what he was made for. But soon, he will...

New Line Cinema’s CG-animated sci-fi film “Planet 51″ has just gotten its cast — Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Jessica Biel, Seann William Scott, and Justin Long have all signed on to voice major characters in the upcoming animated movie, which sees Johnson as an Earth...

This is news to me, but then again, I don’t really keep up with the Star Wars universe nearly as much as I should, because for me it’s kind of been played out, and I’m not really that interested in heading back to “a galaxy far, far away”. But according to this USA Today...

A second trailer for Pixar’s animated “Wall-E” has arrived online, and it fleshes out (no pun intended) the storyline some more. We learn that Wall-E is a robot sent to Earth to clean up the mess humans left behind after we have abandoned the planet entirely; but something happens and...

If you were watching the Superbowl over the weekend, then you might have seen the latest trailer for Pixar’s sure-to-be newest hit, “Wall-E”. It’s the story of a robot who — well, see the trailer for yourself below. Like all Pixar animated movies, kids will love the crap...
