Jim's Law of Animation, Comics, and Puppetry Partially Vindicated



In 2007 I shared my views on animation.

In it I mentioned that the animated film Grave of the Fireflies should have been live action. Well guess what? Turns out it's been done twice so far. Japan made one in 2005 for TV, and then another in 2008. There's making a feature film soon, too.

I feel vindicated. That is all.
