Sounds great. I'm heavily anticipating the movie, and each news makes it sound better and better - even though I've had high expectations for it since it was announced.

I must wonder though - they're still writing the movie? The release date is in a year and a month, more or less - will that be enough time to develop it, and do all the necessary animation and live-action filming (if that's still part of the project) in time? And that's not even counting the months in advance they'll have to market it. Am I over-thinking the amount of time it takes to make these things, or is a delay in order?

And the whole adult audience thing isn't really surprising to me. Theatrical adaptations of cartoons can usually get away with more things than on TV, so why not take advantage of it? The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie and The Powerpuff Girls Movie are good examples of this.
