Example: The “G-Force” movie trailer. With the majority saying exactly what I said when I saw the trailers for the first time on TV not too long ago … “WTF!?” This can’t be the same as the Science Ninja Team Gatchaman/Battle of the Planets/G-Force anime. This is a bunch of dumb ass anthropomorphic gerbils or guinea pigs or what-ever.

Does Disney’s live action guinea pig movie really have anything to do with the anime in any way, shape, or form? I have no idea. If it does and it was so drastically changed to resemble nothing of the anime they should change the damn name of the movie. My two cents. Come on jagoffs Bruckheimer and Disney, ever heard of a search engine? How hard would it be to search and think up another original name for the movie to avoid confusion?
As I stated before in my post a few years back a Gatchaman movie is being made although I don’t know if it will be released worldwide or only in certain locations.

NOTE: I so seriously wanted to use GIMP to edit the index finger to have Ken/Mark/Ace sticking out his middle finger, but I settled for just adding a caption to it. So just imagine Ken “flipping the bird” as well… Ha Ha… flipping the bird! Their costumed alter egos are based on —birds! Ahaha, I’m so funny! :lol:

I’m hoping it will be good and it will be interesting to see how the anime style is adapted and carried over to live actors. In other news, Hong Kong CG studio Imagi will be dishing out animated movies for Gatchaman (a.k.a. Battle of the Planets/G-Force) and Astro Boy in a few years.
