Brad Bird's "The Spirit" 1980'spencil-test trailer

NOT 2008 Frank Miller's live action feature film based on Will Eisner's "The Spirit"...

This is from back in 1980, from Brad Bird and Gary Kurtz (producer of the first two "Star Wars" movies) who were trying to get into production an animated feature based on "The Spirit"

Read about it here:http://herocomplex.latimes.com/uncategorized/the-spirit-that/

This is a pencil test "trailer" for the proposed film that was made by Bird along with several classmates from Cal Arts, most of whom were working at Disney at the time. As it is a small piece of animation history, I've decided to post it here.

- I only saw this thread now.
I need to read Batman and the Spirit.
- I rent this space for advertising

Don't be selfish, preserve this world for the next generations.

I'll never long for what might have been
Regret won't waste my life again
I won't look back I'll fight to remain

This would have been amazing. A bit too Disney-like for me, but it still looks great.

I really prefer hand drawn over CGI animation.
