This Is Not a Pixar Rocketeer Movie
It’s a pretty good facsimile, though. It’s a video made by French animation studio Digital Banana in celebration of the film’s 20th anniversary. I don’t know if Disney still has the movie rights — I imagine they do — but I’d love to see a CG-animated Rocketeer movie like this, or even a Saturday morning cartoon. Does Disney XD still need content? Pair this with Avengers and the Tron: Revolution cartoons, grab a bowl of Cocoa Pebbles, and that’s a hell of a solid Saturday morning. (Via Nerdist)
