Peter Chung actually sounds disappointed with the live action movie, since Charlize Theron doesn’t resemble Aeon, doesn’t have the trademarked hairstyle, doesn’t wear the Aeon costume and the movie was made without his involvement. The only thing he likes is that if the movie widens the brand name he can push for the full-length animated Aeon feature that he’s always wanted to do.
Chung also talks about the oddities of his show, such as how he’d kill Aeon off at the end of every short film. When the show went to full-length TV episodes and the characters started talking, fans were split on whether it was better or worse. (I’ve got two of the tapes which I bought off of Scott McCullar years ago and the full episodes are even more incomprehensible than the shorts!)
I’m glad that the DVD compilation is finally out.
