I have a little question about Abe's exoddus - the movie. Why in the desert (where the Mudokon is talking with a microphone) there is a cartel with written "Necrum" on it but there isn't the Necrum?

I think it just shows the way to Nercum, and Nercum is some miles away.

Yes, you're right. I thought it after I asked my question

OH MY GOD HOLY CRAP NO WAY IT'S ACTUALLY THE MOVIE-

Man, where did you FIND this?

Well it's the old (1998) Abe's Exoddus Short Film, commonly called Abe's Exoddus - the Movie...

and I found it on eBay ages ago.

Sorry, but why didn't you show it up before?

I answer for you (and Xavier correct me if I am wrong): he was busy for uni and then he needed time to upload it in Internet.

Don't you know? It's the short film OWI made for AE: AE was submitted for an Oscar Nomination.

Sure, I'm allready trying to make something but my connection to internet is so damn slow... I have to wait for like 15 minutes...

Oh you lucky bum. Mine is taking an hour.

12%...13%...10%!!!...11%... why do downloads sometimes go backwards?

EDIT: Also, I hate my crappy computer. Could someone put this on youtube? Please? It always plays the sound, but not the video.

ziggy · #41 01-27-2008, 08:46 PM

Oscar nomination really??

And thank you Xavier. Makes me want to play it again.

Like AIN said, I didn't have enough time...

and more importantly I didn't have the needed hardware until a couple of months ago

Not that I don't respect the work OWI did over the years but why did this get nominated for an Oscar?

It was shown from 27 to 29 October 1999 in the Laemmle Theaters of Los Angeles.

It didn’t get nominated: it was submitted for Oscar consideration.

Go to http://www.divx.com/ and press the Free Download button. That will provide all the codecs you need to play it.

Zerox · #46 01-28-2008, 10:02 AM

Can it go on Youtube anyway? I really am not having the time to fully download this and watch it. My computer is just generally too crap.

zimfromBM · #47 01-29-2008, 01:49 AM

Damn, finally I get to see the movie after all these years. Also, people who cant play it should just download VLC, it can play anything.

I saw in the artbook the ticket to enter the cinema: there is "San Louis Obispo on it.

Don't worry, everybody can make mistakes

abe is now! · #52 01-29-2008, 06:12 AM

Thank you Xavier! But after this movie was submitted for Oscar consideration, what happened?

***Xavier*** · #53 01-29-2008, 06:21 AM

It wasn't nominated and the story end there pretty much...

abe is now! · #54 01-29-2008, 06:43 AM

I am weeping!!! NO!!! I hope the Oddworld movie will win an Oscar

!!!

***Nate*** · #55 01-29-2008, 07:57 AM

The movie was shown at a cinema (The Palm, if memory serves me correctly) in San Luis Obispo on the night of the AE release party.

Oddey · #56 01-29-2008, 08:12 AM

I agree with Zerox. It'd be nice if someone posted it on Youtube.

This is all news to me, but The Art of OWI confirms they did indeed watch the short at a local theatre, and there is a Palm Theatre in SLO. I can’t see anything about it online, though. Knowledge gleaned from your time there?

abe is now! · #58 01-29-2008, 10:00 AM

I was too young when AE was released (I was four years old). I'm sorry I can't tell you what was going on in Italy. Certainly advertising showed something but I can't remember anything.

Fuzzle King · #59 01-29-2008, 10:28 AM

i noticed at the scene where abe blows out of the mines into necrum and lands painfully,the scene is like a reversed angle,like in a mirror,than that of the scene in AE game.

btw great video loved every bit.

Well, if it was in a local theatre it was almost definately The Palm as that's the small, independant cinema. The other one is a big chain.

The Palm is a nice little place. I saw Wallace & Gromit and Transamerica there.
