The notion of an untold Jacques Tati story finally being revealed is enough to put this high up on the list, but then factor in the amazing work in Triplets of Belleville -- easily among the decades' best films up there with the Pixar work and Hayao Miyazaki 2d brilliance. I wouldn't be surprised if Chomet's stylishly told, highly inventive brand pushes The Illusionist to the top of the animated field next year.

Further proof that Sylvain Chomet's 2D animated The Illusionist is close to being ready (if rushed it could have played at TIFF), the pic may be put on ice for a 2010 festival release, but slashfilm.com have found a first set of images (to add to this one).

With dramatic fare such as August: Osage County, Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom and Dallas Buyers Club, 2013's Toronto Int. Film Festival once again...

With the final Gala and Special Presentation announcements for TIFF out of the way, and unless Telluride, BFI London and Rome reveal some major world premiere coups, we can expect to see new works from Alejandro González Iñárritu, Taylor Hackford, Géla Babluani, Radu Mihaileanu, Mark Ruffalo, Olivier Dahan, Julie Taymor, Sylvain Chomet only in 2010.

Following in the premieres of Persepolis (2007) and Waltz with Bashir (2008), I'd be in disbelief if Sylvain Chomet's The Illusionist (2009) doesn't follow the pattern and would be even more surprised if Cannes 2010 edition doesn't roll out the red carpet for Serge Gainsbourg, vie héroïque. The bio-flavored pic with surrealist elements has not been announced as an animated film, but I'm guessing there will be certain passages that will be animated by comic book writer and first time director of the picture Joann Sfar.
