If 'Stranger Things' was an 80's anime

STRANGER THINGS ANIME

What if 'Stranger Things' was an 80s anime? Created by animation studio Humouring the Fates, this parody fan film celebrates the popular series by taking its style and flipping it upside down.

The Reward: Tales of Alethrion

THE FIRST HERO

The Tales of Alethrion proloque "The First Hero" is about Alethrion, whom the land is named after, and a lovely backpacker girl called Amerath. They are the original creators of the map which we see later in The Reward, carried by Vito and Wilhelm. It is the first tale that takes place long before many of the other episodes in the series which we hope to get funded through Kickstarter. 

THE REWARD

In the small village of Tohan, the young boy Wilhelm is wasting his life on everyday business. Suddenly a glorious hero rides by him. As the boy watches the knight in total admiration the hero accidentally drops a treasure map. Wilhelm picks it up, but sees that another boy, Vito, has also claimed the map. They rip the map into two pieces by accident and end up with one part each. With a half each, they are forced to travel after the treasure on an epic quest together, in hope of becoming as glorious as the hero...

TRAVELING DEITY

The gods create a demi god called Ruden with the purpose of stopping an evil rising inside of Alethrion (from "The First Hero"). Amerath, Alethrion's ex girlfriend, finds Ruden caught in a bottle amoung her former lover's old stuff. Ruden is hurt and can't get his magic to work, but is still determined to find and stop the evil inside of Alethrion. Amerath is not interested in that, but decides to take care of Ruden over a summer. During this period he is healing and restoring his magical abilities. They become friends and Ruden's mission becomes less important to him because of her. One day, Ruden has restored his powers but decides to stay with Amerath and enjoy life instead. This ends when Alethrion reaches and kills Ruden's creator, also resulting in the death of Ruden. Before he dies, Ruden passes on all of his magical abilities to Amerath. She now has the power of vision and sees her ex boyfriend's horrible new path. She decides to confront him and do what Ruden didn't manage to do in time.

Hullabaloo Steampunk Animated Indie Film

Former Disney artists keeping hand-drawn animation alive with new crowdfunded, steampunk indie film

[Source: blastr.com] It’s been a long time since a major studio put forward the time and money to make a hand-drawn film, so a team of former Disney and Dreamworks are taking it upon themselves to keep the unique visual style alive.

Dubbed Hullabaloo, the steampunk animated superhero story is the brainchild of creator James Lopez (The Lion King, The Emperor’s New Groove) and a veteran team of animators, modelers, composers and voice actors. Lopez is a Disney veteran who has also served stints at Warner Bros. and DreamWorks, so he definitely has the cred.

Here’s the official synopsis:

Hullabaloo is the story of Veronica Daring, a brilliant young scientist who returns home from an elite finishing school to find her father--the eccentric inventor Jonathan Daring--missing without a trace! The only clue left behind points Veronica toward Daring Adventures, an abandoned amusement park used by her father to test his fantastical steam-powered inventions. There she discovers a strange girl named Jules, a fellow inventor who agrees to help Veronica in locating her missing father and discovering the secrets of his work.

Together, Veronica and Jules learn that Jonathan Daring has been kidnapped by a mysterious group of influential persons, who seek to use his latest invention for nefarious purposes. These villains are wealthy and influential and neither Veronica nor Jules can stop them openly. But determined to save her father and holding true to the family creed that technology should be used for the good of all, not the greed of some, Veronica assumes the secret identity of “Hullabaloo”, a goggled crusader who uses wits and science to combat evil and oppose the nefarious conspiracy that has taken her father.

Lopez and his team are hoping to raise $80,000 on IndieGoGo to create a professional proof-of-concept short with hopes to eventually make a full-length animated film. But more than just trying to get a cool movie made, Lopez is championing the dying art of hand-drawn animation. It’s been five years since Disney put out a hand-drawn animated movie, and there don’t seem to be immediate plans to create any new ones in the foreseeable future. Enter Lopez.

CONTRIBUTE NOW

We love the look of the concept art, and it’d be a crying shame if hand-drawn animation really does fade away in favor of CGI and 3D modeling. It’s an indelible component of film history, and if these guys think their little steampunk hero can save it, then godspeed.
