The Buzz: February 2006

Flushed Away Teaser Trailer released

The teaser trailer for Aardman's new movie, Flushed Away, is now out. Now as you watch the trailer ponder this... this is a CG movie with characters made to look like Aardman's classic stop-motion characters. I suppose if they brought Aardman's classic humour into the digital realm as well, I'll still be happy.

Gargoyles Season 2, Volume 2 in Trouble

Ask Greg warns fans that if you purchased the Season 2, Volume 1 DVD set of Gargoyles, it isn't guaranteed that you'll be able to get Volume 2. Due to the current lackluster sales of Volume 1, he says that Volume 2's release is not guaranteed. So if you had planned to buy a copy of Volume 1 and you haven't yet, now may be a very good time.
