Lost "Me and My Shadow" animation test

That’s a real good find!

The animation and design are stunning in it... what a shame this movie was cancelled.

Wait, has this movie gotten a LMW article yet?

It would be really neat if DreamWorks Animation did go ahead and greenlight this film for production, but it hasn't been officially confirmed yet that it has been cancelled yet, so it's more like that the film is "On Hold" for now similar to Sony's CGI-animated film on Popeye that is still listed on Sony Animation's website as a film in development despite losing its original director. Many planned animated films in development go under development hell for various reasons, so this isn't a new concept, as this film seems to be put on hold after DreamWorks broke away from Paramount in 2012 and the film was originally planned to be released sometime in Summer of 2014 had it moved much further in production.

Still though, it would be nice to see those demonstration videos of Bill Hader voicing the shadow.

Exactly! It'd be on a bit of a larger scale, since the shadows would presumably have a larger role, but Moana at least shows that the style is doable.

I want Disney to do more things like that, since they still have at least one person. I absolutely love 3D animation, especially with how it's getting more and more realistic nowadays, but there's still something about traditional 2D animation that's really beautiful.
