The Kung Fu Panda films are all excellently made, so I've got no problems with this pick. The Bone film will be visually stunning in his hands.

Well, I'm glad they're doing Bone.

Bone was great. I hope it can be adapted well to a movie.

Hopefully they'll make it into a trilogy or something. No way they can do the whole thing in just one movie.
I re-read the whole Bone thing a few months ago. Still holds up.
I highly recommend the black and white digital version. Looks legitimately incredible on an iPad Pro.
Not a fan of the color version but whatever gets you to read the book is OK by me.
You know it will.

He only did the first. 2 and 3 were Jennifer Yuh Nelson(3 with someone else, forgot his name). Osborne made the little Prince.

I'm worried a Bone adaptation will suck, but Osborne's one of a small few that I could see pulling it off. Hopefully it's successful enough that it doesn't end up being a one-off

Never read the books, but I remember seeing that little white guy on the covers. Kung Fu Panda was visually amazing, so I'm looking forward to this.

I have high hopes for this movie really loved the comic series.
That's what I thought about The Lego Movie. Or Storks to an extent. But if it's anyone right enough for the job it's Mark Osborne with the help of WAG.
Did they ever finish that series?

You walk into the theater.
It's just a 5 second loop of Phony Bone laughing hysterically, over and over for 2 hours.
You all walk out of the theater confused, like a herd of cows.
But he already has your $7.50.

My gamertag for a decade was Thorn Harvestar; I just recently changed it to this when it freed up just because it was shorter (and because Thorn was snagged before I could get it during the Great Inactive Gamertag Purge).
As far as a movie adaptation goes... idk. I worry about it, but I love the comic enough to give a film adaptation a chance. Hope they don't screw it up.

A previous Bone movie adaptation by Nickelodeon in the late 00s got cancelled precisely because it was becoming a generic kids movie loaded with pop songs and the like, so I doubt that'll happen with this attempt

Bone is a really fantastic series, and Mark Osborne's work on the KFP films are also fantastic.
If handled as well as I hope it is, this could turn out to be fantastic matchup. But considering how long this film has been in development hell and WB engaging in some pretty poor studio choices (looks at DCEU), I wouldn't be surprised if this doesn't pan out, sadly.

No, having to follow the books meant that the game had to have more characters and locations per episode than they could reasonably afford at the time, and it wasn't particularly popular due to Bone being somewhat unknown in Europe, where PnC games are the most successful. Once they got their hands on Sam & Max, a series both more prominent and full of
I was thinking more about the violence in the second half ... like there are people sliced in half =|
i think 30 years ago, this would have been the perfect thing for don bluth's studio to make. or jim henson/frank oz.
at least this should be better than the version nickelodeon wanted to make 12 years back - with a britney spears pop song, magic gloves that made plants grow, and actual children as the voice actors for the bone cousins.

Bone was dope. Don't fuck it up.
I remember meeting the author and having him sign a copy of mine a while ago. Think i'll reread them if I can find mine.

I love Bone
but I am not sure about this director since the story of Bone gets way more invested later on and isn't as bright, simple or more light hearted as Kung Fu Panda
it is like a light dark horror at some points
plot is also fleshed out and I can't see this being a single movie
or not ending with a cliffhanger
