After years of waiting it's nearly upon us. Have to say that I really like the trailer. It looks like a lot of fun.

Looks... err... fantastic

The Black Oil

I don't think I'd see it on the basis of that trailer. Clooney's voice doesn't seem to fit the character.

Based on the book by the author of

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

"Based on the Book by Roald Dahl" wouldn't cut it with American audiences, probably.

hmmmm...im gonna reserve judgement on this one.

I agree, clooney's voice doesnt particularly fit a character i have had in my head as English all these years (Stephen Fry would have been perfect...).

But its been an awful long time since i was a kid and read the book, however i dont remember it being a spoof of Oceans 11, was it?

When I was younger, I read and reread all of Dahl's kid's books over and over. The only visual stimulation I ever needed was Quentin Blake's illustrations. Based on this trailer, the film seems irrelevant and pointlessly American.

I kinda agree with those who say it's Oceans 11... with foxes. On the other hand the animation style is so old-fashioned. Brilliantly so. Colour me interested.
