An alternative site for Khan Kluay has been launched with a trailer in crappy flash format. There is a english section at the website but its underconstruction at the present. As you may already know from the last post on Khan Kluay here, this will be Thailand's first 3D animated feature film produced. Along with its release is the studio's hopes of generating interest for more animated films inorder to develop and improve the Thai animation industry. Here is the synopsis from movieseer.com:
Khankluay is a young elephant who lives his carefree life in a forest, but he's always wondering of his lost father whom he's never met. Inspired by the intention to search for his father, Khankluay leaves the forest and sets his journey to the bigger world. His journey brings such an extraordinary adventure to him. He's experienced so many lessons of life, and finds real friends. Finally, Khankluay becomes a mature elephant who's so brave and powerful, but has a gentle heart. He fights for the king and country until his courage becomes a legend.
Khan Kluay is set for theatrical release in Thailand on May 18.
Official Khan Kluay site (flash trailer embedded within)
**Update** New contents has been added to the official site. There is now a downloadable quicktime trailer in medium and high quality. Also, there is a making-of video here.
That poster scares the shit out of me!!
He had better get a CGI version of Tony Jaa to track down his father.
Khan Kluay is a very good movie.
I saw it in Thai on opening day
and it was amazing. I never knew
Thailand had capacity to do 3D
animation at this level.
Does anyone know where I can get
it on DVD?
