Nintendo Shuts Down Fan-Made Zelda Movie

Well I can't help but side with Nintendo on this one. While that trailer didn't look too bad, I've still been saying for some time now that there's nothing worse for a franchise then it's fans, specifically fan tributes. I think their biggest mistake was submitting it to actual film festivals and movie theatres, by doing that it could've looked, from Nintendo's stand point, that they were trying to profit from this film.
I know my biggest fear, if I were to create something that became a huge franchise, would be the fans fucking it up with their own twisted, misguided interpretations.

OT: That sucks. I was looking forward to this. I hope they don't piss on the Shadows of Lylat game some fans are making.
And sneaking past the guards for the lulz.
Hey Nintendo, right here, buddy.
I commend those fans for working as long and hard as they did, though they should have seen Nintendo's wrath coming a mile away

I blame the fact that they have a shaved gorilla for a mascot president.

I saw the film on Dailymotion the day it was published. I was mildly surprised at the quality of the movie, really. I rather thought it was alright.
I am NOT, however, surprised at this move by Nintendo.
Shame on you, you big fat stupid corporation! They should feel honored!

I'm just a little pissed that the first I'm hearing about this is a "sorry it's been shut down" notice after the fact. Oh well, on to the torrents!
For a fan-made film its actually really good quality. Obviously its not Lord of the Rings level effects, but its a decent movie.CD-R said:
I really wanted to see this movie. After the trailer, it looks like a lot of work was put into this movie. I can think of worse fan made crap on the internet that deserves to be hit by the copyright banhammer.
Edit: Why am I hearing about this after the movie has been shut down? A little heads up in '09 would have put this on the top of my to do list.

Nintendo needs to go fuck themselves. This is the second time they(being corporations) have done this. I remember a little while ago, Someone was making an "ultimate" type square enix game ala SNES type graphics/gameplay and they shut it down after years of work. Fuck you Nintendo, seriously.
Looks awful. Perhaps Nintendo tried to kill it to prevent its own product (Zelda) from looking like a joke? I'm not against fanfic stuff, but it is after all, Nintendo's game, and if they don't want something like this floating around, that's their decision.
