I enjoyed it a lot &#8211; it was fun, fast-paced and beautifully drawn. The technique the guys and girls from <a title=\"Minuscule (official website)\" href=\"http:\/\/www.minuscule.tv\">Minuscule<\/a>\/<a title=\"Futurikon (official website)\" href=\"http:\/\/www.futurikon.tv\">Futurikon<\/a> (Thomas Szabo, H\u00e9l\u00e8ne Giraud) use is quite unusual &#8211; they use a mix of real footage and 3D animation, plus real-life sound, very suitably selected.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know how they do it, but it&#8217;s incredibly realistic. You see every petal of a flower moving in the wind, and at the same time the digital ladybird sitting on it, like alive. <em>Minuscule<\/em> shows you the world of insects the way you never have seen it, with sense of humour, aimed both at children and adults. It&#8217;s kind of a documentary cartoon, so to say.<\/p>\n<p>In a word, go see this movie!<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Screenshot of minuscule.tv website, made at night\" class=\"imagelink\" href=\"\/wp-uploads\/2007\/02\/minuscule-tv-website-screenshot-night.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Screenshot of minuscule.tv website, made at night\" src=\"\/wp-uploads\/2007\/02\/minuscule-tv-website-screenshot-night.thumbnail.jpg\" \/><\/a> And the website of Minuscule.tv is in itself very appealing (although not all of the sections work, yet). The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.macromedia.com\/flash\/\">Flash<\/a> they used to build it is nice and stylish. During the day, it has one appearance. And during the night, a completely different one. I am not a big Flash fan (this Web technology was often and is still abused), but in some cases, it&#8217;s appropriate and adds to the effect &#8211; like in this case.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a pity there&#8217;s only one video teaser currently&#8230; I am already waiting for more!:-)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There&#8217;s a video and you should watch it.
