Grrrr, I hope it won't take long. It has been on-off, on-off, on-of. I just want it to come already. It has never been this long to make 1 movie, besides Tangled right?DisneyAnimation88 wrote:It looks like it's back on the shelf at the moment but it's a film that's been in and out of development over the past couple of years so it could conceivably go back into development again soon if they figure out a solution to the problems that they're having with the story. Recent films like Bolt and Tangled went through problems and significant changes during production and made it through so there's still hope for this film.

Anonymous #2: Honor is correct about Chris [Williams] leaving the project. He's busy boarding some other peoples project right now. Sad, I was looking forward to it. But there were too many notes and he wanted to do something else for a break.

Actually, Blue Sky Studios's, "Epic," is based on, "The Leaf Men and the Brave Good Bugs," by William Joyce. That movie has NOTHING to do with the elves, especially Disney's, "King of the Elves." "King of the Elves," is based on a short story by science fiction writer, Philip K. Dick. I read it on Wikipedia. Even though it is a false site, but it's worth it.O.B.gene wrote:it's in a similar vein

Steve Hulett: "King of the Elves?" Got no idea where it is in the mix.

Plenty of new concept art by the former co-director of the film, Aaron Blaise.
There's also concept art by Disney animator Russ Edmonds.

If they had been there for thousands of years without having been seen, how did they do it? We looked at animals that use camouflage and mimicry to conceal themselves. Eventually the elves began to take on a unique feel. They began to grow leaves right out of their bodies! We thought that there are so many insects, lizards and birds that match the foliage that they live in then why not the elves?

Creating fantasy creatures like these is a joy for me. When I was young growing up in the Everglades of south Florida I spent a large amount of time out in the swamps and forests drawing and painting. I often imagined that there were creatures there that I couldn't see. I'd like to add that these were all done well before Avatar.

The film was supposed to be the next CG film in line after Frozen. Now, it may never get made. I really enjoyed creating these new characters and playing with preparing them for the CG modelers and riggers.
