My perception of fantasy conventions in the past was that they tend to be more adult-oriented with anime and cos-play, but the Wizard World Austin Comic Con provides a well-rounded experience for families to enjoy together. Until this weekend I had never seen children attending a panel, yet there were several young kids in the Tailchaser's Song Animated Film Sneak Peek session on Sunday. The movie is an animated adaptation of Tad Williams' popular novel about a group of feral cats who journey through the treacherous world of humans and other animals.
Local producer Paul Alvarado-Dykstra and associate producer/writer Bethany Rhoades (pictured above) talked about how this project came to fruition and provided a "behind-the-scenes" look at the concept art of the film.

Alvarado-Dykstra and Inoue-Harte made the announcement at a Comicpalooza panel on Friday. Williams was present and quite excited by the project. They brought along some concept art by Matt Rhodes that looks pretty amazing.
Tailchaser's Song was Williams' first novel. He told those gathered at the panel that he came up with the idea by watching his wife's cat. Before he married, he was a dog person, so living with a feline was a bit of a culture shock. As he...
