Time-traveling Native American news now (we'll have to create another spin-off site at this rate!), with a newly released video of an animated Turok film. Presumably releasing straight to DVD in early 2008, Turok:Son of Stone looks to feature plenty of violence, reptile dysfunction and at least one scene of a fat man being eaten unexpectedly.
If you're confused as to why this Turok looks nothing like the one featured in Disney's promising Unreal-powered first-person shooter (slated for February), it's probably because you either skipped the comic book series or never accompanied the dinosaur hunter when he battled his greatest foe -- the N64's draw distance.
I think from everyones experience would tell you that cartoons based off of video games they can tell you it's a terrible combination;with maybe the exception of viva pinata, which is mildly entertaining.
Welcome to "it's-still-a-terrible-fucking-cartoon-and-not-that-great-of a-game-eithersville"
P.s. I never said it was solely based off of a video game, and the comic was last published 25 some odd years ago. I'm sure the concepts will be based off of the only material anyone under the age of 30 will have seen based on turok, which is the video game.
That is the single most awesome trailer for an animated feature that I ever saw. Too simplistic for adults!? Remember Heavy Metal!? That movie came out almost 29 years ago. I'll buy two Turok dvd's.
I'm looking forward to Turok: Son of Stone; I just hope it has the Chronocepter (I believe that was the name of the big, blue gun you had to assemble in Turok for Nintendo 64).
While I think that an animated feature based on Turok could be ok, that was just too crudely animated to be something I'd bother watching. Voice acting wasn't very great either.
I think the comparisons with badly animated Disney sequels are apt. It's like they took the most recent Land Before Time and added a bunch of gore. Sweet.

Turok was a comic a LONG time ago, then revamped by Valiant ... as a comic. THEN it became a video game much later.

Also, it did nothing to fill me with nostalgia for the original Turok.
