Screenwriter Neil Gaiman's masterful allegorical drama, which melds live actors with animated characters, portrays the existence of a 15-year-old girl named Helena (Stephanie Leonidas) in a civilization ruled by light and darkness. When the Light Queen loses her equal hold on the kingdom, plunging it into gloomy shadows, Helena takes it upon herself to restore the universe back to its rightful balance.
Dave McKean directs.

Anybody see this? Review?
.
I assume the styling is like The Waking Life and A Scanner Darkly. I haven't seen it, but it sounds like something of a sleeper, so I'll be on the look out.
Thank you, oh malevolent one... :icon_thum

Alice in Wonderland meets Sandman

So, it appears more Sky Captain/Sin City- ish.
Looks like a decent mind job to create a drinking game to.

I got the dvd on the 3rd. I havent had time to view it, hopefully soon.
After we walked, we sat down and viewed it. I Guess they released it on valentines day since one of the characters is named valentine. Visually stunning and i like the way the add human with animation and the computer graphics. Its about circus folks =) Not really, but Jim Henson studios is very creative and this is unlike anything.
I guess you compare it to labrinth, but this is much more spectacular.
THX, its in my queue

I guess Jim Henson had a daughter, she is a producer on it i believe. Its a bit slow in beginning but it gets better once she gets brought into a mystical world.
Just checked it out a couple of days ago. Slow start, but worth the wait. Definitely some good eye candy.
