Many of us are about to find out just what happens when Hollywood attempts to translate Alan Moore’s epic graphic novel into a feature length film, but have you ever wondered what Watchmen would be like if it was a cartoon series during the 80s? No, you haven’t, but that didn’t stop animator Harry Partridge from answering the question no one was asking, and I am glad as hell that he did. Below is the opening sequence Harry crafted for the non-existent TV show he had living in his head, and I can’t imagine a more flawless parody of two things I love dearly. If the internet can get Stephen Colbert’s name painted on the side of Node 3, and elevate wastes of space like the “Leave Britney alone!” girl to the realm of minor celebrity, then I think it needs to puts its vast power to good use and convince this guy to make a full episode of this thing. And hurry up with it, because I’ve got a big bowl of Trix and some footed pajamas all ready to go.
Wow…….. They totally stole my hearts desire of turning into a car AND giving people cancer. I guess my plans for the transforming ciga-bot are on hold now. Oh, did I mention wow……
