I’ve heard this & that about a full-length animated feature film of H.G. Wells’ _War Of The Worlds_.

Any truth to this?  
Any info?

I’m a big, big fan of the novel.

They showed clips of this on The Hitler Channel earlier today. The CGI stuff looked like the “cut scenes” from a videogame and not like _Toy Story_, but if they keep Richard Burton’s voice, it’ll be worth watching.
