Tips:
(March 28,
2000) Elfquest is a wonderful series with beautiful artwork drawn
by Wendy Pini. From what I understand, Wendy has been working
hard on the art for this film. I know it will be a beautiful film
with a beautiful storyline! ~ Tip by JenS
(March 28,
2000) “You have made a BIG BIG mistake with your discription of
the Elfquest movie! Cutter first doesn't fall in love with Leetah,
and she doesn't fall in love with him: They RECOGNIZE! Later,
when they have become lifemates, the recognitian makes place for
love. Rayek is jealous because every elf in his village wanted
to recognise Leetah. Especially he. After he lost the trial against
Cutter, they both became eachothers worsed enemys.” ~Tip by WindSailor
(April 24,
2000) “In response to ‘WindSailor's’ tip: Unfortunately, you may
be incorrect. The description of the plot may be entirely accurate
for the *movie*. It's way off for the series, but, judging by
WaRP Graphics' previous sorry attempts at doing the graphic novel
series justice, they could very well have simplified the plot
to make the movie more appealing to the mass market. These people
are very shrewd business dealers. They're after money, and will
sacrifice the grace of the original plotline to get it. Sad, isn't
it?
My tip: If
you're a fan of the original ElfQuest, shop before you buy. Be
sure you see as many previews of this movie as you can before
paying to see it in the theater. Better yet, wait until the movie
is out on video rental. It may not be worth the high theater prices.
It will definitely not be up to the standards of the original
four books of ElfQuest (before Father Tree Press). Nothing will
ever compare to their beauty. (My compliments to Wendy for a job
well done in those days, before the accompanying artists came
into the picture.)
I could go
into more intricacies of the plot that WindSailor missed, but
you'd enjoy the original graphic novel series more than my summary,
I'm sure. The series was beautifully done. Though expensive, the
books were--and *are*--worth every penny, especially Books I -
IV of the original, pre-Father Tree Press series. (I apologize,
but I can't remember the publisher's name right now.)” ~ Tip by

(April 24,
2000) From what I have heard, the movie will be loosely based
on the comic series. The graphic novels 1-8 will be condensed
into the plot for the film, but the movie will focus mainly on
the romance between Leetah and Cutter, and the rivalry between
Cutter and Rayek. As far as I know, no voices have as yet been
cast for the film. However, a good source to go to for further
information regarding the movie is http://www.elfquest.com
, the official site for the comic books. The site has continual
updates as more information about the movie is released. ~ Tip
