 Re: LoEG: The Animated Movie?
I think that would be a wonderful idea. It would be a bit better then the movie as it is now.Jason Flemying did a great job as Jekyll and Hyde so I would have him do both Voices

Re: LoEG: The Animated Movie?
Now THERE's a thought!
The danger of a major animation company taking it on would be that the pleasant crinkly edges would get smoothed out- For me, it would be best to preserve the European flavour by using a European team - like that of Sylvain Chomet & Nicholas De Crecy - to inject the required expressionist energy into the mix. Take a look at
http://www.lestriplettesdebelleville.com/.
Nothing against U.S. and Japanese animation teams- it's just that there's an inherent difference in translating from ongoing soap-opera U.S comics, telephone directory size Manga and book format Euro comics.
Did any of you guys in the U.S. see the animated Big Guy and Rusty, by any chance? It never reached us here, but it looks like they were pretty faithful to the original Darrow style.

Aardman, anyone? 
(But I'd agree -- don't let Disney anywhere near this!)

Re: LoEG: The Animated Movie?
Stop animation sounds wonderful...but in the King Kong style, not the California Raisins style.
Imagine a clay kite from the Limehouse sequence!
Something there is very appealing!

Re: LoEG: The Animated Movie?
Mmm, stop motion- but much as i'd love to be patriotic it'd have to be Czech, not British. Either entirely done with figures (there's a fantastic Pied Piper by Jiri Barta) or with some live action - imagine what Svankmajer could do with Hyde!

Huzza! I'm glad you liked it! But some of the parts would be pretty hard to do.

I like the suggestion, "the pied piper" had some very chilling moments... Svankmaker has made wonderful shorts... like that one in which two Arcimboldo-styled heads discussed to the point of eating each other...
Since Czech films are being mentioned, I'd say that maybe Karel Zeman would be a LoEG-suited film creator: I remember a film by him ("a deadly invention", if memory serves me) based on a Jules Verne story, in which the backgrounds and fantastic contraptions were styled as nineteenth century engravings.
