Film Roman Draws a Universal Language: No matter what your native language, Garfield the cat speaks your language. And that translates into a big plus for Film Roman as the animation firm dips its toes deeply into international waters. James and The Giant Peach: The Journey from Dahl to Disney - From the studio that made The Little Mermaid's lost souls cute and gutted the Beast's wolf fight in Beauty and the Beast, now comes an animated feature based on a work by that most unDisneysque of authors: Roald Dahl. Post and Animation: Merging Technique and Talent: With an animation project, post production is often paradoxically, more of a partner in the production process, and, with the arrival of sophisticated 3-D computer graphics software, post has even become the place to create the animation itself.
