'Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse' makers open up about film's animation 

In an interview with Collider, screenwriters Phil Lord and Chris Miller opened up about the upcoming film Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse and teased that if fans loved the previous movies, they are in for yet another treat as it will feature some 'groundbreaking' animation. Miller said, "It is, as Phil said, a very ambitious sequel because we didn’t want to just sort of do the same thing again." 

He added, "And so the idea that we’d be going to different dimensions really opened up an opportunity artistically to have each world have its own art style, and to be able to push the folks at ImageWorks to develop a way to have each dimension feel like it was drawn by a different artist’s hand."
