[movie trailer] Mouse Guard Pre-Viz Footage

[LeMarchand]

I was wondering what happened to this film over the weekend. Based on a series of comics by David Petersen about a group of anthropomorphic mice in a medieval-ish world, it fell victim to the Disney/Fox merger.

 

The clip below features footage created in the Unreal Engine which was then going to WETA to finish off (presumably the mice were to be more furry, to match their comic counterparts). Even in an "unfinished" state, it look gorgeous. About 1/2 way through you get pretty much the same footage, but with audio (no dialogue) rather than score.
