    I posted this earlier, but some are having trouble seeing it so I'm posting from the original source. I think if we were to remake the video today than this would be a great and timely image to include. I'm still trying to "figure" it out, but it's an ominous gut grabber for sure.

    I feel at this point we've seen everything that is going to be in this book.  I'm good.   Good luck Joe....

    As long as my Amazon order doesn't get cancelled I'm getting it. I might not reorder if it got cancelled, it would depend on the price.

    The design by Young Gi Yoon for the Monster City in the video. A city that is eating the planet". A majority of the concepts for images that went into the video were brainstormed by the video's director, Kevin Altieri. But I was able to get a number of my concepts into it, including this one.

    This film... This film is one of the most powerful and beautifully made animated fantasy films of all time. It's an epic fantasy movie easily on par with with Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings trilogy. Produced, written, designed and directed by animation master, Hayao Miyazaki, Princess Mononoke is a fully adult story of an ancient world undergoing brutal changes as Man comes into the use of iron and technology and begins to exterminate the ancient animal gods of the forest. It's heart breaking, challenging and gorgeous and it deals with many of the same issues that Do the Evolution profiled. If you have a chance to catch it on the big screen on the 17th and 18th, go see it. It's a life changing experience.


  • While I looove me some Miyazaki, this is a bit over the top. While the animation for "Do the Evolution" is awesome (hence the existence of this thread), to hint at is being on par with Miyazaki's work is a bit like comparing my vocal skills to Eddie's. I mean sure...we sing the same words and whatnot right? Maybe Pearson will find some Mononoke cels under his bed next.

    You could also watch the Miyazaki film where the raccoons can turn their scrotums into things...can't recall the name though.

    Joe Pearson Thanks for posting this Jed. I was told by the publisher that they were going to miss the July SDCC deadline I was pushing for because their distributor Penguin/Random House wanted a wider Fall release. Looks like that's the way it is going.
