The first one is easy, the writer of the book the film is based on will always get an OMB credit.

if credited on screen.

(Just clarifying...otherwise i concur with your opinion on the matter)

Which might explain why, in this case, the studio chose to credit them separately.

This is the picture frame with the credit:


In my opion this is a kind of together.
And the studio decide to credit the illustrator.

I was wondering when Asterix would surface in this debate. I don't have any of the DVDs (despite having every one of the books...in French). I would be interested to hear from anyone who has the DVDs how (if) Goscinny & Uderzo are actually credited.

I just checked "Asterix Le Gaulois".

The only entry is "de Goscinny et Uderzo". I hope this is enough to credit both of them for the original material.

He says the film was visually different from the illustrations in the book.  He says that they re-interpreted it.  That tells me that the film was based on the written word, not the illustrations.  Which might explain why, in this case, the studio chose to credit them separately.

We use the credits as they appear On Screen PERIOD, and exactly as they appear On Screen, we have a listing of SPECIFIC credit types that we are looking for.Illustrated by is not among rthem and use of ANY outside datasource is not specifically allowed. As i said the answer is here is very simple, KEEP IT LOCAL and maybe someday it will be contributable but right now it is NOT.

Actually, for OMB, we don't...which is why this discussion came up. 

Actually we DO, check the program and I don't see how you can shoehorn Illustrated into Book, poem, song, etc.

...Artwork is NOT writing in any way shape or form.

Ancient Egyptians and their Hieroglyphics or Cavemen and their cave paintings might disagree with you on that

Yes, they worked together, but one had the idea and wrote the story, the other illustrated it.  Quotes from the article say just that.  The most telling thing in that story, at least for me, is this exchange with Vess:

Quote:

SHH!: And how about yourself, Charles? You obviously have a very distinctive art style, and I wasn't sure how that might translate to real people, but then I saw the picture of Michelle Pfeiffer on the chariot pulled by goats.
Vess: I've been trying to figure out how to put it into words, but the best thing is that "Stardust" is a very large world and I built my "Stardust" over there, and they built their "Stardust" over here, and they both co-exist, but they're different visually. It's got the same spirit. It made me very happy to see what they've done. It had some very talented people working on it, and I don't see any problem with re-interpreting anything as long as you've got really keen minds on it.

irrevelent, if people for giving an OMB credit can't use other aspects of this interview to support giving an OMB credit, you can't use portions of the interview to support not giving them an OMB. You can't have your cake and eat it too.

there is no credit for Theme by though some people argue that should get credit (maybe some of the same people agains OMB here)
there is no credit for additional music, though same situation as Theme by

Original Material By and Even Original Characters By, while under the writing section, never exclude characters or material that was created in a form other than writing in a modern language. What if a Picture Book (no text at all as part of the story) was the source for a movies story? Do we not give an OMB and/or OCB credit for the Author (who would likely be the illustrator unless of course the story is written down by someone and then they say, here draw a picture book for this, but how would we necessarily know if that is the case)? Or does it depend. If that person is credit as 'Based on a picture book by [author name]' then yes, but if its 'Based on a picture book drawn(or illustrated) by [author name]' then no? Or it could be 'Based on a book by [author name]' we wouldn't even know its a picture book, so I guess that gets the credit. But if the only credit is 'Based on a book drawn (or illustrated) by [author name] then not?

This better get added to the rules ASAP because it could turn out to be the most confusing rule of them all.

Hmmm maybe we should include storyboard artists as OMB as well. After all their work is ORIGINAL to that film. So that would certainly qualify as OMB.
