Matthew Inman:
This brings us to the meat and potatoes of this post: I am happy to announce that I am in development on my own animated feature for Illumination. In short: I got a movie deal. The good news: I’m making a movie and it’s going to be very funny. The bad news: these things take years to make and it is an all-consuming task. This means I will no longer be working on The Oatmeal full time.
So cool.
I had been thinking for awhile now that not much had come from The Oatmeal in quite some time. He did release a couple card games, so I just assumed that was what was replacing his comics work.
Getting to see the process of what he actually came up with and worked on, all the way to the finished product in the trailer is awesome. To make it even cooler, he’s going to have his own frickin movie now. I can’t wait.
