New full-length trailer blue sky animation "epic" debut

As early as in 2006, the "Ice Age" director Chris wedge announced his next directed efforts will "Ye men, based on the William Joyce children's book" Ye good men and brave errors. "(Joyce also conceived and co-produced this week animation event," the rise of the Guardian. ") Fox, the company is owned Blue Sky Studios animation studio, wedge cooperation, the establishment and running of a Green Greenwich, Connecticut campus, was very dissatisfied, very close to the bag of his recommendations and wedge items Pixar, and his close friend John Lasseter (they worked together on the TRON). In 2009, Fox agreed to give the green light to the "Ip Man", in 2012, we finally see the last, the long-term trailers now "epic". If nothing else, it looks like it lived up to its new name.

Very loosely based source material, it is an overall picture looks very "Honey, I Shrunk the kids" mixed assigned to the "fern ditch" or "Avatar" or some similar ecological awareness, a young girl ( stresses Amanda Seyfried) while looking for her mad scientist father the bomb (Jason Sudeikis) unexpectedly shrunk to microscopic size.

The second semi-trailer, which shows the film's stunning visual range (we love the small soldiers ride hummingbird back) is definitely surprising, although we hope that some time (like a tree behind the exposed a squadron of soldiers in disguise) has been saved, and when we watched the actual movie. Although 3D is never something we look forward to actively, it is difficult not to recognize how this is going to add dimension looks really cool.

Of course, Fox's stunt casting vocal talents of injury, otherwise lovely trailer; hear Aziz Ansari (who is just another blue sky film, "Ice Age: Continental Drift") to do his swing dance special talent and plays an anthropomorphic slugs edge catastrophic Cancer. Nevertheless, the visual effects and a strong story (plus a the sweeping new score Danny Elfman) should be lifted "epic" more than occasionally iffy casting. , The legendary story of the fantasy that looks like it might be good, it might just epic.

Elevator DreamWorks Animation shares can see the rise of the "guardian"

Here is a short trading week of the investment philosophy of Thanksgiving. To purchase shares in the company, you can see a huge impact from the family to the movies this week. Although some young people will go to see "Breaking Dawn - Part 2" and adults will see a "Skyfall" families with children will want to see the rise of the Guardian, "the latest movie from DreamWorks Animation (DWA).

The rise of the "guardian" is a children's book based on William Joyce. Easter Bunny, Santa Claus, Jack Frost and the tooth fairy story revolves around the fight against evil, and away from children. DreamWorks hopes in their hands, it can be turned into many sequels and by-products, it has a potential sleeper.

"Guardian of the rise of two new movies open this week also. The Rise will open on November 21, 2002 (Wednesday), "Red Dawn" and "Young Pi". "Red Dawn" will be displayed on the 2600 screen, not competition rise on the same target audience as it is for adults. "Young Pi," which will be displayed on the 2700 screen, is rated PG and can fight for some families at the box office. A preview of the film does not look very weird and theme elements oriented, for me, the kids. The rise will open the 3500 screen's interests, but also faces competition from existing large "Breaking Dawn - Part 2" and "Skyfall." (Screen count from the Box Office Mojo website).

I think that the rise could be the dark horse of the festival. Movie to see some of marketable characters together in the same movie. To the childhood hero Avenger a style combination can create DreamWorks hit. If you look at the next Christmas, there is not much animation or Home Edition in the remainder of 2012. Strong reviews or word of mouth, so that the film in theaters for a long period of time, has brought a lot of box office revenue, additional benefits, as well as 3-D sales.

Thanksgiving home movies, movie studios usually gold extended by one week, to see the kids have no school, many adults have more time to work. Last year, the family film "Arthur Christmas" released around the same time at the box office in North America, $ 46 million flop holiday. All time top three Thanksgiving opening of the movie "Toy Story", "tangled" and "Enchanted."

"Rise of the Guardians" has been set up in China, it is $ 3.1 million this past weekend. The Movie expand to eight countries, including the United States and Russia, this week. In the choice of domestic and international IMAX (IMAX) theater, the film will also be released. The film will be in the 14 states and two provinces a total of 20 North American IMAX screens.

Throughout 2012, I also pointed out that the other major reason for DreamWorks Animation shares may rise:

1. The theme park plans - in the new indoor theme park, shopping mall in New Jersey, the American Dream. This park is a sign of things to as DreamWorks may expand to other theme parks, the use of the character of its film library.

2. Classic Media - the acquisition of Dreamworks (Dreamworks) for about $ 150 million to buy a classic media library. The acquisition will allow DreamWorks licensed merchandise alone, also can be used to film more than 100 characters. Previously, the company announced that they shoot a movie, based on classic media characters Mr. Peabody and Sherman.

3. The move to TV - CEO of Jeffrey creating a the DreamWorks TV show character implied. The Company in the Nickelodeon show "Kung Fu Panda" and "Madagascar". The company also created a program called "Dragoon Shi Boke" on Cartoon Network.

DreamWorks began to accumulate shares another reason for a potential acquisition. For its part, DreamWorks stock looks attractive. However, in the film industry, including the merger of the Disney purchase Lucasfilm, DreamWorks looks attractive, U.S. $ 1.66 billion market capitalization. Important characters and brands of the studio, suitable for the needs of a studio, a family or child department.

The analysts believe that the company's report, in the fourth quarter of last year, earnings per share of $ 0.38. Analysts were pleasantly surprised when the $ 0.29 in the September quarter, the forecast of $ 0.11. The company has won the first three quarters of $ 0.57. Analysts saw earlier, the company this fiscal year earnings of $ 0.93, before jumping in the next year 1.06 yuan.

DreamWorks shares trading at $ 19.64, or toward the middle of their 52-week range. Fifty-two weeks $ 16.34 $ 22.98 The shares rose 17% in 2012, but in the past two years, is still down 38%. End of the year to reach $ 25 or $ 30, is not out of the question. Diversification from the movie studio, should be recognized by investors, and should improve future earnings per share targets. The company has also shifted to the more active of the three or four movies in 2013, an annual pattern.

The animation world lost Smurfette Voice: Lucille Bliss at the age of 96

Lucille Bliss died at the age of 96, but her voice through the iconic cartoon characters "Blue Wizard", "Anastasia" Cinderella "and, most recently, Yagoda from the movie" Avatar " Smurfette life. "

March 31, 1916, Bliss was born in New York City talent expressed appreciation and later pursued by the creator of the cartoon. In 1950, she said her first cartoon, Crusader Rabbit.

Her vocal talents nail her Disney features and Hanna-Barbera cartoon characters. The Bliss also heard several Warner Bros. and MGM theatrical cartoons in the 1950s.

Rapid detection of her talent, Walt Disney did not hesitate to use her in leading cartoon movie in 1950. The movie is "Cinderella."

The fiftieth anniversary of the movie, the Walt Disney Company launched a commemorative book where I read the part of Walter I personally selected, Anastasia. Before I never know, it almost made me cry. I hope that I thank him, "happiness" How said in an interview with reporters, like Walt: Capturing the Disney Magic every day life. "

The bliss loss is difficult to feel the world of dubbing and animation. "I feel that we have lost the talents of an era, her behalf by her sensitivity to the animation she is a great loss, to her enormous contribution she did not like the other shows a certain uniqueness, Michael Cohen, a voice actor, acting coach in Los Angeles, told ABCNews.com.

Bliss's agent, Don Pitts, agree with Cohen. Bliss and Pitt together in San Francisco, in a radio program in the 1950s. From the 1960s, he was her agent, until five years ago, when she stopped role. "This is a huge loss, she is one of the protagonists of the industry in this line, and her absence will be felt Pitts said," ABCNews.com.

Her signature sound, acting talent, and a lot of hard work, her success has made contributions. Floating Life, two apartments in the 1950s, one in San Francisco, the other in Los Angeles, she will travel from one city to another to audition the work she is doing for nearly two decades. Pitts said: I never knew any of this actor.

Flexibility of bliss and profound, her voice is not very common female seiyuu. "Her voice has its unique quality," Cohen said. Her voice, the voice of an old woman in a little girl's innocence and gravel combined normal circumstances, the women's voices can be one or the other, but the Lucille has both qualities and can play. "

Bliss "acting talent, let her to seamlessly embrace her character expression bliss about her and Smurfette. Former U.S. television interview, an iconic role, she hit eight-year relationship.

"Smurfette feel real to me, because I created her voice, so I can feel her emotions, which may sound strange, but it is true we must think of the character, it is taken over and this is my tell my students, you must lose yourself, she said: "If you want to be successful animation and characters.

"Happy birthday to you outside the world of animation, bliss sponsored exhibition in San Francisco, KRON-TV. In 1999, she won the Lifetime Achievement Award of the former child star, known for her role in "Cinderella" in 2000, she won the Winsor McCay's 28th Annie Award for Special Achievement Award in the animation.

Back to the Walt Disney animation all roads lead to

Back to the Walt Disney animation all roads lead to

(Author's note: I said the animated film, I am referring to the major family-oriented movies and their respective companies. Lack of criminal intent Akira movie, Fritz the Cat, or Watership Down),.

I received a very interesting challenge, which come from one of my colleagues animated film, Disney released all 52. Even for a movie like me addicted, it is a challenge. Our friends and I managed to get the majority of the old Disney movies, and all from the "golden age" of Disney's The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast.

Then all of a sudden, we are stuck. 2001 to 2008, we have a huge gap, and we could not figure out. The problem is, this is not the movies, such as "Toy Story, Finding Nemo, Superman Commandos team, because they are not a Disney movie. Release of Studio Ghibli by Pixar and Disney, Disney has released a few years ago such a hard time to film all these years, because we have not seen these movies, we've been watching Pixar movie.

I think the animation industry as a whole. For many people, Disney has almost become an umbrella term. Any synonymous Disney Animation. It is not difficult to understand the reason: Over the years, Disney is a leading animation company anywhere. They became famous for their healthy family movie, the incredible stresses stories and memorable roles. Other film companies began to form and take notice. In fact, there are three major studio head start work at Disney: John Lasseter, Don Bluth, Jeffrey card Katzenberg (even Tim Burton work for Disney as an animator and story artist way , back in the day!)

PIXAR STUDIOS

Pixar is now a household name, but it is not the first time. Disney is always looking for new innovations to the world of animation. They are a company that pride, to invest in new technologies. Disney Disney artist William Garity decades ago invented the multi-plane camera, which will allow them to establish Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, in their way, they hope. Came when Pixar, John Lasseter and Disney find what they want. Pixar has signed a contract to make seven films studio. Always want to improve Disney's revenue and reputation, which again became tense after their golden age of the musical movie.

Finally, Disney understand my friend, I realized that one day, people really care about the Disney animated film at home. They could only watch Pixar movie. With the contract is about to expire, Disney and Pixar are two choices: a big name for himself and so to compete with the newly popular studio Pixar or buy it. They chose the second option, was promoted to chief creative officer John Lasseter, Walt Disney Studios opportunity at a new life. John Lasseter, continue this trend has begun to release the films of Studio Ghibli. Maybe they will experience the same success, Pixar and Disney brand.

Don Bluth movie

Even though you may not know his name, which is possible, you have seen his work. Don Bluth, the fox and the hound, Robin Hood, Sleeping Beauty and other Disney films, they found a company of his own independent studio. No doubt you've seen his movies, including all dogs go to heaven, nickel-metal hydride battery, The Land Before Time, the story of the United States, Anastasia and Titan AE secret. Interestingly, I think his movies are often mistaken for Disney movies, especially Anastasia.

Don Bluth himself, he wanted to make his own movie. He desperately wanted to stay away from the traditional "Disney Princess" formula. At some point, he succumbed and decided Anastasia must find her before the evil Las Putin said that the Russian princess lost her first story. No one's surprise, Disney style. Movies ‧ Bruce's one of the top-grossing movie.

DreamWorks

DreamWorks is one of the main competitors of the Walt Disney Company. Their own ground is obtained as a function of the film studios, as well as an animation studio, DreamWorks many successful companies. In its early days, it was responsible for the release of "Antz" and "The Prince of Egypt. Since then, and it's found in other animated movies, including" Shrek series and spin-off cat boots, Madagascar series, Kung Fu Panda series, in the hedge, Monsters vs Aliens, and the followers of the super villain.

Here's the interesting bit. DreamWorks SKG, in the name of the company on behalf of the three main founder: Steven Spielberg, Jeffrey Katzenberg and David Geffen. Katzenberg, DreamWorks Animation, is no stranger to Disney. In fact, Katzenberg help Disney at one point to become the focus of attention. His placement of the Walt Disney Company, Chairman of Roy · E · Disney Help Disney produced some of their biggest CTR, including the Little Mermaid, The Lion King, Beauty and the Beast and Aladdin. Katzenberg more planning and story into those movies, it is clear that there is a trick, when he saw one, find a good premise.

Upward trend again Disney Pixar movie and DreamWorks collect the popularity of steam, I do not know that other studios will begin to take the reins. Like me, like the movie, the two companies do, and I look forward to former director Chris, 20th Century Fox Animation (Robot, Ice Age), and now lighting entertainment company founder (Despicable Me tongue twister), you can come up with.

Animation exudes fun and Marvel superhero team up

Guardian's rise is an animated, family-themed version of the Avenger. Superman the people in these two films, a team together to defeat the evil threat (a dashing British accent), before they can destroy the world. However, instead of super-heroes, only some of the audience familiar with the guardian team by mythical figures such as Santa Claus, the tooth fairy, the Easter Bunny and the Sandman.

Director Peter Ramsey, written by David Lindsay - Abaire and co-produced by Guillermo del Toro, the rise of the Guardian is full of surprises and excitement. The mythology of these characters to build our prejudices, to create an imaginative world, both gorgeous screen and a wealth of possibilities. If any, the movie's the biggest difference, and it is so dead set audience excited fragments through a well-designed set of actions, it will eventually lose a little steam and resonance. After the jump.

Santa Claus (Alec Baldwin), Tooth Fairy (Island Fisher), the Easter Bunny (Hugh Jackman) and Sandman guardian, they are not the protagonist. Jack Frost (Chris Pine), start the movie as a newborn mythical creatures, to create ice, wind and snow desperate to find his purpose. He gave this opportunity guardian when he recruited to help defeat the dark (Jude Law), the purpose of the character is to combat fear in the hearts of the children. The same child's guardian, is responsible for protection.

Even in conflict, the movie is paced like a high-speed locomotive. The simple exposition scenes are told that burst with sweeping camera movement and a lot of 3D animation framework. Each character is given a very distinctive character, the audience is very easy to pick out, and relate to the Guardian favorite.

Although the majority of the rise of the guardian is filled with a high-speed flying over the roof of a huge, epic battle, this is not the best thing. Movie praiseworthy these long-standing character is based on our previous knowledge, the establishment of the movie world. We all know that the teeth and tooth fairy money left, but you know the tooth containing our memory? Of course, Santa build toys at the North Pole, but do you know about his army? Easter Bunny and eggs, but how he painted them? Enrich our preconceived notions of the movie in every round, these characters can do, to make them more interesting.

Frost, with no real canonoized background story, this is the one character. He is an enigma, unable to determine his position, he is desperate to pay attention to him. In this regard, the guardian has been established character defects, may be bad, but very powerful as a hobby as well. His character arc is so fantastic real emotional foundation, the heart of the movie.

Even with the beating of the heart, the guardian is filled with so much kinetic energy and momentum, it can be depleted. When it reaches the climactic battle, encountered do not think that is more exciting than the previous few scenes. It is still interesting - especially when the movie's message is wrapped into it - but the the pacing overall effect is unfavorable.

There any personal connection into a piece of the danger of these characters, the film does not really help you. If you never believe in Santa Claus or the tooth fairy as a child, you do not particularly care. However, if you do believe that, at any time, the guardian of the rise is an action-packed through your childhood, and then return.

My Little Pony: FIM Clone Wars adventure, "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" animated circle, as well as the 10

10: Omniverse S01E10: "of predators and prey (Part 2)

With the action that this plot is the worst review you get just a 22-minute battle scene. There is nothing wrong, of course, and "predator and prey (Part 2)" is very interesting in this respect, but it did not leave me to say beyond how clever staging, especially crows The battle opened Bearden boat bridge. There is also a salute "Rabbit Fire", the Khyber and Ben exchange blow, "This is the Khyber season!" Rath season! Khyber season! ", Which will always be interesting.

The plot, however, the service a little crow fool me, because the techniques I described in the book to the oldest. I'm a loser TV viewer castigate the 10 last week, would not build more of the cars, instigating their fighting grudges between the Zhou Dynasty, this is just a strategy to attract Khyber. I should know better! I appreciate, crow admit that he is not really action, but he was cool partners have been accepted things and move on. I do not know the long-term Ben 10 fans feel Rook How many of you, but I really like him.

We are also in the first arc of this: the Omniverse to this plot, next week we begin a new 10-episode arc. See, because this is the first time I have seen so many programs, I do think it is very interesting, well-designed, but it is not particularly deep. This is not a problem, because the programs are separate, very series of actions. I will say, I hope for more character interaction and development of the program in the next arc has been laid, but may not be particularly interested in those things? Tell me your experience in the comments.

"Star Wars: The Clone Wars S05E08: relief community

This is a busy plot the subplots of the season so far. In a big arc, cuts back and forth between King rash rebellion Jedi training, all connected into a conspiracy. "Bind rescue," is not only young children, their plan to save Asoka CIS attack led to Wan Kenobi's flagship. While I have no doubt that the site will be folded into a mutual conclusion of the arc in the next week, I am glad there are two different things.

Get off the distress signal, headed by the Obi-Wan nursery technology, to Florrum to save Asoka. They did not really have a plan, so lucky, the circus staff, everyone do their best a wrong impression, acrobat life nursery technology (the original force at this stage, they development is not a talented group "T much better) I generally like it, although it does not have much content. Huang is a little too sweet, he intends to sell Asoka taste female Jedi (yuck) client. I do not like the program, by Hondo, basically admit the characters will do all display needs. This is a lazy way, but at least the "Clone Wars" is honest.

Fleet battle is refreshing, because it has been a bit since the show, but because it involves Obi-Wan and serious, there is not much suspense, their lightsaber duel is not very exciting. However, I am grateful for the conspiracy in action saplings, which may not have enough fuel to drive the entire episode itself breakthrough.

My Pony: Friendship is Magic S03E03: "Too many small assign"

This is not my movies often get multiple reference trot out, but gave me this opportunity, I would like to thank my pony. In much the same way, Michael Keaton is learned that the clones do not let your work and love life easier pinkie pie learned, cloning, will not let you have more fun.

"One of the joys of the" too much pinkie pie is to survive the crisis, throwing the little finger. She is always cheerful nature, show some vulnerability, either does not respond to her friends refused the invitation of the Party of the "one-party" or not fully dealing with young pumpkin cake, baby cake pound cake, "which gave character any other series may not have a certain depth. Therefore, when she began to wonder whether she is truly the little finger pie, it not only provide us with a way to track her army is repeated, it helps prove the little finger have an internal world, in a sense, the identity of . Her laughter can accommodate elements, but in something bigger than just stupid laugh grounded.

There are other fun. Thoughts throughout the episode, a single pinkie pie is enough everypony to see play the ponies live in the woods, and a lot of fun. But it may be the end of the episode, when Twilight tries to determine what is true of the little finger, provide the most enjoyable and interesting attractions. The idea of ​​watching paint dry, just wonderful and clever spell, eliminating the little finger of cloning, an exaggerated pink the balloon blowing pony bulging eyes, lips pursed, both humorous and frightening. It may also be only pinkie pie, to show the character of the cartoon character can do something, not something to feel fundamental.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles S01E09: "gauntlet"

Nine episodes of the works, a decent set of upper and lower turtles face against the shredder. "Gauntlet" My biggest problem is, it just feels a little padded ran over, each like my sentences often do conspiracy.

To stay in the background since the first week of the program after April's father comeback, has sent Pete mutant pigeons (terrorist, looking mutant organisms), to tell April to the city as the Kraang some cunning plan: a big mutagenesis bomb happens half the population of the variation. So, you know, they have been in the plan the whole time. I almost do as villains Kraang. I have nothing to really seize the bad guys (why do they want to variation, each person on earth?), So the plot involved tend to feel flat. They also lack the personality, which enable them to redouble boring. I can deal with a villain, no evil motive or personality, but not at the same time is a real factor in that.

Addition Kraang and April's dad plot, of Bradford and Xever decision crusher permission turtles not self-redemption, but they just go and mutation own, I heaved a breath. I like the turtle's opponents, more mutant hybrid feels like an excuse to sell more toys.

In addition, there is a hodgepodge of plot lesson. Overconfidence thing landed landed, but small TIFF Ralph and Leo always together, Don and Mikey often work together, I feel like it should have to own a small episode. This is a good character dynamic things to explore, it really deserved to be more than a series of "Mickey is a doofus" gimmick.

Adventure Time S05E03: "five more Graybles"

I was not many fans in the fourth quarter, "five short Graybles" of. All stories around a common theme, united, they are minor, but there are at least a solid joke (in addition to the multi-block space princess segment, but I do not LSP biggest fan). The same thing happened here, "Graybles."

Finn and Jake, that they have a collection of spells, recite Little Jack Horner hope is a good student, once they stick to what they like. I like the twist, nursery rhymes has become in OOo's spell. This is a good extension of the show the existence of post-apocalyptic.

The Massereene bit might be my favorite five stories for two reasons. First, we get the visual pun in the drum giants of rock drumming his fingers, and I'm all about visual double entender. Music Store is a state of intoxication awesome trip. I like the animation for the first time, and then we get it again, the Massereene pure joy face. This is great.

The most strange Treetrunks story, because she was taken to the the offensive the Shelby role middle finger cookies cranky statue. It is worth it, only to see all Treetrunks vigilante justice wheel rotation speed is too slow ", she rounded up a group of cinnamon bread and fruit sugar lovers. Although the middle finger is one of those age cross-joke, this is perhaps the most interesting.

Part IV, King of the Ice, it is not all that great, because he decided to marry his feet (it has a horrible face). Segment of a button, he saw one of his other foot, and said: "Oh, no," is interesting, but for me there is no real connection. I liked what he said penguins drink the tears of joy, though.

BMO last one, it involves BMO BMO reflection, teaching soccer, all kinds of things in the real world. For me, it does not do much, but I really love BMO and Niki Yang's work, so I did not like it as much as possible of the Ice King story.

The theme of the conference is the taste (sweet, delicious, sour, salty, bitter). The Cuber explained, this is not the fingers. Because, you know, no one Cuber use five fingers for a long period of time, or any of the indicators.

Mario Lopez talks to play the animated dolls in the new show "China exhibition - exclusive video

China preschoolers, in a new show about a talking chicken and her friends - animal and human, real and animated. It is actually a spin-off of the popular program show the sunny side. China has a child like chicken, who helps her parents run the clothing hut. However, the store is closed, the coop has become quite the Toy Story toys to life, and is ready to play pretend China.

Mario Lopez, when he did not hosting X Factor, his 2-year-old daughter, like watching a screening sunny side, they especially like China chicken.

"This is so much fun, I like to China [] Latin [Latin culture, this is a popular name."

Lopez depicts a needle, a doll, life after work, China's best friend. Lopez said, "He is a loyal friend, and he was very positive, and he likes to use his imagination, so these are, I can relate to all things. Needle and China get many adventures each other. In one episode, to form a band and the pineapple and needle play guitar. They learn, practice makes perfect, and the show also focused on the importance of creativity. Over five warning: their songs are actually quite attractive.

Creativity and musical elements, and the emphasis on the arts, Lopez would like to participate in other reasons. He also likes the plan, the plan is half the battle, animated and half live action, everyone can feel excited about something. "It's just good family entertainment, kids with their parents and their parents and their children will enjoy watching," Lopez said. "Obviously, it is early childhood population, the high-chair of the crowd."
