Osmosis Jones Preparing For Invasion
|
Osmosis Jones is a new animated feature coming in spring 2001 from Warner Bros. Feature Animation (with an animated series planned to follow on Kids WB!). Osmosis Jones, an "epic of cellular proportions", takes place inside the body of a construction worker named Frank. Combining traditional cell animation, computer animation and live action the animators at WB have created an entire microscopic world inside Frank's body that is called the "City of Frank". Osmosis Jones is a street-smart white blood cell cop (voiced by comedian/actor Chris Rock) who is paired with a by-the-book rookie cold capsule, Drix (voiced by Frasier's David Hyde Pierce), as they try to stop the evil virus played by Lawrence Fishburne. Trendmasters has the license to produce Osmosis Jones toys, as evidenced by this sign (shown above) seen as you exited their Toy Fair showroom. As the film is still a year off it's too early to show potential product to buyers until either Fall's Pre-Toy Fair events or next years Toy Fair. RTM will be keeping an eye on the development of this interesting property. Stay tuned! [Updated 2/23/2000]
