Zack Snyder pulls off the impossible, creating one of the finest superhero films ever to hit the silver screen in the process.
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.
Alan Moore’s Watchmen flirted with the animated form not long ago with the digital release of the somewhat poorly realized “motion comic”, which actually happened to be an interesting idea that was tragically marred by the fact they had one dude handle the entirety of the voice-work (and that includes his husky interpretation of all the female characters). I know their heart was in the right place, but if you seriously know so few women that you can’t find even one to do a tiny bit of voice acting for you, then working on a motion comic version of anything should be the least of your concerns.
