I picked up the DVD today. As much as I love Mignola's comics, none of his animated/live action films have excited me. This is much more true to the Mignola look, but is very short and probably something I wouldn't watch more than once or twice in my life. Rent it if you see it, but I wouldn't spend the money on owning it unless you get it cheap.
Quality: A
Value: C-
NBC had in on their web tv thing a while back and I watched it their and posted about it here. It was very strange but somehow fascinating. I think the overall impression here was a good one, but I guess it never got picked up as a full series.
I think it aired on Sci-Fi channel before that. It was on at some weird hour and I only heard about it after the fact. Managed to find it on their web site though. Was a very odd, very fun watch. But wasn't it only one episode? Is that enough to warrent a DVD or is there more there?
They had some contest to see what would get picked up, Screw-On-Head, or some nonsense....guess what didn't win? :( I really enjoyed it. I don't think I'd buy it, since it wasn't really a full length movie or anything, but if it ever did get picked up, I'd DEFFINETLY watch the show.
I agree, I would watch the show. I thought it would have made a great series.
How's that other animated Hellboy thing coming?
