Tailchaser's Song moves forward

Animetropolis is pleased to announce that it has engaged IDA (International Digital Artists) as production partner and lead animation unit for its highly anticipated debut film, the CG-animated feature adaptation of TAILCHASER’S SONG, the acclaimed best-selling fantasy novel by author Tad Williams.

One of my favorite books ever, actually the only one from Williams that I like.

The story gets a little dark in places, hope they don't sugarcoat it too much.

Mine too. Tad Williams is one of my favorite writers. So good that he almost made me give up writing myself (knowing I could never be that good). I'd love to see this book done right but what worries me is the the animation. The book is very serious and would be better served by something more serious and not so "cutsie". Maybe something similar to Watership Down (which the book shares similarities to).
