Episode 94 - Xcalibur
from Cartoon Night in Canada Hosted by Chris Luciantonio
On this week's episode, Chris and Sylvie boot up an old copy of The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion and contemplate the history of CGI animation while talking about a wrongfully forgotten show from that history's awkward, transitional years. It's Xcalibur - a sword-and-sorcery tale that was made with so much passion the still nascent technology behind its animation could not match. If you put the show in context, it holds up pretty well. If not, well... CORRECTION: In this podcast we refer to the region of France that speaks the Occitan language as "the Occitan region of France." We meant to say "the Occitan-speaking region of France" which encompasses multiple regions to the south including Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, Centre-Val de Loire, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, Occitania, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur. Episode covered for the podcast was Episode 1 "The Sword of Justice." Directed by Didier Pourcel. Written by Benjamin Legrand & Amélie Aubert. Original airdate September 1, 2001.
