Just a random YouTube find.

This intrigues me a lot because for sometime I've wanted to see a true successor to HEAVY METAL. I thought Heavy Metal FAKK 2 was pretty weak.

Telling a metaphysical, satirical, space-operatic story in the form of comic books originally published throughout the 1980s (with sequel and prequel series to come over the following 25 years), The Incal on the page became the fullest realization of Jodorowsky and Mœbius’ combined vision.

Its success made it a logical candidate for film adaptation, and so director Pascal Blais brought together artists from Heavy Metal magazine (in which Mœbius first published some of his best known work) to make it happen. It resulted in nothing more than a trailer, but what a trailer; you can watch a recently revamped edition of the one Blais and his collaborators put together in the 1980s at the top of the post.

Wow, that looks awesome! Would have loved to seen it! These type of animated films in the 70s and 80s were just awesome to watch. They had some love in the 90s as well, but just tapered off for some reason in the 2000s and never made a comeback. Perhaps it has something to do with 3D animation or the internet, but I'd love to see those type of films make a return one day.
