Subject: Sita Sings And So Does The Animation
I'd love to see this movie. From the trailer, it looks like a beautiful amalgam of animation styles. In a way, it's reminscient of Yellow Submarine, where it's bright and vivid, then all at once stylistically rotoscoped and trippy. (look up rotoscoping if you don't know about this ancient technique from the 70's) Sita isn't a copy of yellow submarine though, just shares certain charcateristics, but that's just at first glance. It looks like quite the original! From what I can tell from the trailer, the story looks fast paced but well put together. I won't be in Seattle anytime soon, so I hope it get's a liitle closer to the Mason Dixon line and everywhere around the country. It looks great!
