Judging from the preview, it looks like they did a good job of getting EM's artwork to screen.
I believe it is.

Whew, atleast Conroy is back. Not a batman cartoon without him!
By that logic, you must think that classics like Dracula or Frankenstein are not "real" movies.
A film needs to be only as long as it needs to be.
That may be true of old classics and may be okay for an animated movie, but I've noticed quality issues with movies based on their running time. I noticed this back when I rented VHS tapes and the running time was on the label on top of the tape:
Good comedy: 90 minutes-in that area
Good quality non comedy movie: 2 hrs
Optimal running time for good movie: 2hrs 12 minutes
Movie that is running too long: 2 hrs 30 minutes-3hrs plus
Epic rare long movie: 3 hrs is okay, but very rare.
Total shit non comedy: 80-90 minutes or less
Decent animated movie: 60-90 minutes. 60 minutes is acceptable for a superhero type movie for DVD release.
I disagree with everything listed. There ARE no generalities in time vs. quality. I've seen and written about 5000-6000 films in the last 30 years.
Regardless of runtime, it's story, script, theme, direction, editing, pacing and performance that combine for "good" or "bad" movies. Not the time length.

Well keep in mind the animation does take a very long time and the more minutes you can shave off and just get to the meat of the story, the happier the animators will be! Besides, that's the beauty of animation, you can do a lot with little, since you don't have to worry about space limitations or sets, or weather or union rules or whatever. The scene can take as long as it needs, but not a second longer because you're going for impact.
Live action you can sort of lollygag for a while, animation you don't have to. I mean, an hour is pretty short, especially when you're paying maybe $15 bucks for that hour, buuuuut they had damn well better include things like a behind the scenes, deleted/alternate scenes, concepts, promos for future movies - since those are almost better than the movie LOL AND a commentary track. If you're going to have a short movie, then dammit include a commentary track, at least it makes it feel like a 2 hour movie since you can watch it twice.
