Test footage for the now-cancelled Mouse Guard

[Your Name]

This is the pre-vis test footage for the animated movie 'Mouse Guard',
which has now been cancelled ... probably a good thing since the mice
look and move far to human-like and are nothing like the style of the
original graphic novel it's meant to be based on.

The first that I noticed was a note stating that this is to illustrate
the /feel/, not the /look/. WETA would have redone it all
photorealistically later. So how the mice look and move here is,
actually, not relevant to anything. OTOH, there is also a reference to
mocap ...

Whether it matches the style of the graphic novel is, of course, a
different issue -- although by the time WETA had gotten it, that might
have changed.

And, compared to the (IIRC) "alternate start" to /The Incredibles/,
this looks about 10,000,000 times better. But who really cares what
the previz looks like? It's the final product that matters.
