At Mania.com, Phil Hester and Andy Kuhn talk about translating their Firebreather comic book series into the original CGI movie slated to premiere on Cartoon Network tomorrow, November 24, 2010, at 7:00 PM (6:00 PM Central). Among other topics, the pair discuss their relationship with Hollywood, their favorite parts of the movie, how they handle the differences between their comic and the film, and the upcoming new Firebreather mini-series Firebreather: Holmgang.

Meanwhile, over at Wired‘s website, the Underwire weblog interviews Firebreather director Peter Chung, who discusses how he got involved in the project, who he felt the hardest character to design was, the latitude that Cartoon Network gave him in making the movie, his impressions from working in CGI for the first time, the possibility of an Aeon Flux animated movie, and more.

Last pup of a dying planet, a young German Shepherd is rocketed to Earth, where he is bombarded by cosmic gamma rays emitted by a radioactive spider. Crash-landing in the forgotten land of Hubba Hubba, he is discovered by the Who-You-Callin'-Ancient One and his lovely wife Pookie. Instilled with their traditional American values, he spends his young adulthood roaming the globe, learning all the secrets of Comic-Fu. Donning battle armor fashioned from spilled chemicals splashed by lightning, he becomes the Sensational Shield of Sequential Art ACE THE BATHOUND! Look, it sounds a lot better than the truth. Born in Brooklyn, moved to Queens at 3 and then New Jersey at 10. Throughout high school, college, grad school, and gainful employment, two things have remained constant: 1) I am a colossal nerd, and 2) I have spent far too much time reading comics, and then reading and writing about them. Currently working as a financial programmer in New York City, while continuing to discover all the wonderful little surprises (and expenses) of owning your a home in the suburbs. Shares the above with a beautiful, wonderful, and incredibly understanding wife named Frances (who, thankfully, participates in most of my silly hobbies) and a large furry dog named Brownie (who, sadly, does not).
