Hopefully this isn't a double post; The Atreides/Caladan The villains The Fremen/Arrakis Source; http://nerdist.com/concept-art-imagines-dune-as-an-animated-film/ Source of the Source; http://mattrhodesart.blogspot.ca/2015/09/dune-now-with-some-color.html I really would not mine Dune in a strongly stylized animation. There are tones of very nice looking, enjoyable western animations out there. Ok maybe not all perfect, but it's still great. A while ago I told my wife I wish Game of Thrones (a song of ice and fire) has a strongly stylized animated version, that way they could reproduce dream sequences without a hitch, and many other things from the book the TV show is not able to show correctly due to limitations. Always figured animations was perfect for stories of epic scope and scale, it's all drawing, so you're not as limited.
