ABSTRACT

Many producers who do not have the time or the money to work from scratch and create entirely new characters go for well-known characters and titles, some of which are in public domain. Regarding its 3D product, nWave is known particularly for the stereoscopic quality of its product, like Fly Me to the Moon or Sammy's Adventure. Up till now there have been more than 100 movie versions, the oldest dating from the year 1899 (France), the most successful produced by Walt Disney (1950) anticipating the crowning ceremony of Elizabeth II, another one, live action with animated characters, by Kenneth Branagh for Disney. Fairy-tale characters have a strong effect on the mind of children and become early companions in understanding the world. One of the most interesting animated feature films from Europe, Wrinkles (2011), is based on an award-winning Spanish comic book. Paco Roca's graphic novel Arrugas deals with Alzheimer's disease and portrays the friendship between two aged gentlemen.
