Wonderful Days is the first movie to implement the unique system of multimation involving the mix of 2D cell animation, 3D CGI, and the Miniatures. Characters are in 2D to capture subtle expressions and mannerisms. Mechanics and backgrounds are in 3D to create a sense of speed and solidity. And the primary backgrounds and structures are filmed miniatures. Wonderful Days succeeds in creating an animation with a sense of realism and depth never before achieved. While movies such as Jurassic Park, Lord of the Rings, and Harry Potter have used a certain amount of multimation, Wonderful Days is the first movie not only in Korea but the world to use it on such an immense scale.

My Wonderful Days DVD just came. I’ll host a movie night for it soon.

Or Not. Turns out the (region free) region nonsense didn’t work out the way I thought, and I cannot currently play the DVD. (I suppose it’s for the best, Kelly’s not here right now, and she’d want to see it also.

Another edit… After becoming concerned that the DVD itself was bad since it failed in the XBOX and my laptop’s DVD player, I was going to get Trev involved to see if it ran on any of his setups. It occured to me that before I try that, I should throw it in the PS2 and see if it recognizes the DVD. Sure enough, it plays without problem.

OH MY GOD it’s pretty.
