Then that would explain why it was a weak Dreamworks pic

Really looking forward to the Peanuts film. Family and I plan to go out and watch it when it hits theaters sometime around Thanksgiving.

I thought Epic was pretty good. Visually it's stunning, and they make good use of 3D. The only thing that bothered me about that was whatever genius decided they were hopping on the bandwagon with the modern trend for bland one-word title animated movies. They were going to call it "The Leafmen", which seems a lot more unique and memorable.

There was a time when Blue Sky seemed like a promising studio, these days I don't rate them so highly. They also did Rio, I couldn't believe how awful that was compared to how great it looked like it was going to be.

I'm afraid for DreamWorks. I actually prefer this studio to Pixar with their wonderful 3d and beautiful animation. Home looks to be no exception with awesome 3d based upon the trailer I saw. I will definitely be seeing this at the theater. However, I worry that this movie will bomb like Turbo did because it's a new IP. Maybe the fact that Home has no competition in March/April will help it fare better at the box office? I don't think DreamWorks can financially survive another box office flop can they?

Well they do have other projects in production for next year. One massive hit can change everything. The success of Shrek probably bailed them out in the early years of the studio when they had a series of flops.

Home opened this past weekend in first place in Russia, Spain, and the UK where it's doing a lot better than Penguins did, but not quite Dragons numbers. http://www.cartoonbrew.com/box-offic...ce-110599.html

I didn't mind it, it started out really great and then died in the last 3rd. It was beautiful to look at though.

I thought both Rio's were ok, they did look great, but certainly not as good as any of the Dreamworks stuff.

Rio had many redeeming features, I loved the colour palette and the posing in the animation of the birds, but at the same time, other aspects of the film really grated. Blue Sky can be frustrating like that. I was almost tempted to see the sequel with how good the animation looked, then remembered how much I disliked the original.

As much as they've improved their visuals over the years, I think the original Ice Age might still be their strongest film to date.

Some of the musical numbers look absolutely amazing.

Yeah agreed I think Ice Age 1 is their best as well, though I also liked The Lorax as well and it had excellent 3D.

Not to be the one to do this again, but The Lorax was actually by Illumination Entertainment, who are behind the Despicable Me films. There is a connection there because that studio was started by Chris Meledandri, who previously headed Blue Sky Studios during the period where they became a feature animation studio and was a producer on their early films.

I'd forgotten about Blue Sky's Dr Seuss film, 'Horton hears a Who', that was a superior effort, it's too bad they weren't doing them in 3D at the time.
