An excellent rendition, particularly given the limits of the program. Just a note thought- the Green Martians weren't called the Tharks, the Tharks were simply one tribe of green men (The one Tars Tarkas commanded). Other Tribes included the Warhoon, Torquas and Thurd.
@Jourell1 True. I guess this one is a Thark, and could be referred to as such or as a "Green Man of Mars". But a Green Martian wouldn't necessarily be a Thark...
Why isn't the Thark green or the people red (presumably they are the red men of mars because they are much smaller)? I would love to see a cartoon of some barsoom stuff, even if it didn't follow any of the stories perfectly (although that would be my preference).
On my screen (apple monitor hooked to an emac) it doesn't look green, sorry. The 3 little ones I thought appeared to be fighting the thark and that is why I assumed them to be red men., but I guess they are baby Tharks because they appear to have 4 upper limbs.
How about a video where a Thark fights a great white ape? THat would be really cool. Sorry if it sounded critical, it's still a cool animation.
@christo930 They tried to do a Barsoom cartoon back in the 1930s, which was to have adapted the first three books of the John Carter series. Evidently there wasn't sufficient interest in the concept so as a result it was shelved.
@christo930 That's easy. Just go to YouTube and type in John Carter test animation from the 1930s, scroll down to a picture of a stiil that says(lettering on a red planet...Mars to be obvious), click on that and just watch. That should help.
Very well done. I'm not sure if you're still checking this account, or playing Spore, but I would love to see Woola.

@Jourell1 Tharks being the most civilized and Thurd's bit each others ears off Warhoon's are the largest group but less rich

Good job, I don't remember the eyeball trees (weren't they from an episode of Space 1999?) but cool anyway.

Cool. Nice video. When I was a kid I took two Hulk dolls and made a green man. I used clay for the eyes and tusks. It worked out good.

Pardon? He is green. And there is no one else here but an adult Thark, and a couple of babies.

@timepoet77 It would be awesome if anyone could get a hold of any initial work that was done and put it up on the internet.

@timepoet77 I saw that one before, I thought you meant there was more work done than that. It is pretty cool though. Thanks.

So, does anyone know if there is a John Carter Warlord of Mars Movie? ...or any Barsoom Movies or animated movies out there?
I think they're working on one, shooting for 2012 or 13 but I'm not sure!? Anybody?
