How to train your dragon

With gluttony of animated films flooding the market, How to Train Your Dragon is easily one of the most entertaining CG animated film in a long time. It seems like DreamWorks and other studios have consistently churned out CG animated films to keep up with Pixar’s stranglehold on the genre. While DreamWorks have had some success with Shrek … [Read more...]

Battle for Terra

Battle for Terra was buried under Pixar and DreamWorks animation in terms of recognition and buzz. Even with great voice actor line up, Battle for Terra flopped at the box office. It was mostly due to the market dominance by the Pixar and DreamWorks that contributed to the poor showing of Battle for Terra. Had Pixar or DreamWorks been behind this … [Read more...]

Monsters vs Aliens Blu Ray Review Aside from Shrek series, DreamWorks Animation hasn’t stacked up too well against Pixar animation films. Overall, Pixar has produced better films. That is why I was pleasantly surprised by Monsters vs Aliens. DreamWorks always boasted great animation and voice talents. They just failed to produce compelling … [Read more...]

Seems like the Hollywood finally got it right with Dr. Seuss adaptation. They have failed spectacularly with The Grinch and The Cat in the Hat in my opinion. Filled with unfunny jokes and over the top acting, The Grinch and The Cat in the Hat both failed to deliver a satisfying Dr. Seuss story we've come to enjoy from our childhood. Maybe the live … [Read more...]

George Lucas probably should have stopped making Star Wars movie after the Return of the Jedi. Granted Revenge of the Sith was fairly good movie compared to the two previous prequels. I'm not sure if this animated movie and the subsequent animated series on Cartoon Network is necessary. Star Wars: The Clone Wars is the animated movie that is … [Read more...]

Personally, I hate disaster movies such as The Day After Tomorrow. We get it. We ruined our planet. What will the penguins do? Give it a rest already. It's really tiring how Hollywood has taken this global warming and human excess to the extreme. It's trite and tiring at best. I avoid this type of movie like the plague. However, I loved … [Read more...]

This films emulates a lot of the recent animated blockbusters such as Finding Nemo, Shrek, and various other Dreamworks and Pixar animation efforts. The story is not terribly original but the people behind the works execute it very well. It targets the young audience but works equally well attracting teens to adults. So, it's movie that anyone … [Read more...]

The preview of this film was pretty funny so i thought this movie wouldn't be torture to sit through. Also, people behind this film were responsible for Shrek, which is pretty funny film. I'm not a huge animation fan as I'm over 20. But I do like well made animation films. This turned to be not a well made animation film. It didn't have heart … [Read more...]

Dreamworks has finally made a animation that can stand up to Pixar/Disney animation films. Sure, Shrek franchise has done very well for Dreamworks. However, I always felt that Dreamworks has always lagged behind Pixar in terms of story telling and overall execution of animation works. The animation quality, story line, actors involved in this … [Read more...]

open-season

Open Season uses more adult and over-the-edge-humor than any other animated movie released in the last 5 years. The characters are great and funny. Much better than some animated side kicks we've seen this year geared toward kids and toddlers. Ashton Kutcher, Martin Lawrance and Billy Conelly did a great job and were very funny. Also the music in … [Read more...]
