Yasai no Yosei: N.Y. Salad to get a 3d feature film

Yasai no Yosei: N.Y. Salad to get a 3d feature film photo

Yoshitaka Amano's Toy Story-esque story about the secret life of vegetables in a New York kitchen will be making its way to the big screen. This is actually the first I'm hearing about the project, and having checked out the site, I'm not surprised about that.

It turns out that series actually aired on an educational network--which I assume is the Japanese equivalent of Nickelodeon--with each episode having an incredibly short running time. The art looks really cute, though, and the premise sounds like something straight out of a Studio Ghibli film.

The theatrical version of Yasai no Yosei: N.Y. Salad will apparently use a mix of 3d technology with the pencil sketched art found in the television series. I admit I'm intrigued, but the fact that the series originally aired on an educational network has me a little worried. God forbid I actually learn something, right?

I will say one thing, though. Any art student who complained about having to draw still-life portraits of fruit and vegetables could learn a little something from Amano's example. At least he was able to apply it somewhere, and I'm sure he'll be taking that to the bank.
