Wow...If you are an animation and game geek, this will totally blow your mind.

Legendary 2D effects animator Michel Gagne is trying his hand at his very own video game.

You may not be familiar with his name but you probably know his work. He was responsible for the fancy whiz-bang explosions in Iron Giant and also animated the "tasting" scene in Ratatouille.

I'm absolutely astounded that he's managed to craft this gorgeous looking game in his time away from working at Pixar. All the footage shown in the trailer is claimed to be in-game. If this is indeed true, Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet will be the benchmark in 2D gaming for years and years to come.

Gagne is still in the process of shopping this title around to publishers and financial partners, so a solid release date and platform have yet to be determined.

For the love of god, I hope someone bites on this. It would be a crime for this game to become vaporware!
