I thought they split and went to work for Steve O's company, working on Barnyard. Maybe the influx of people from Blue Sky kept them going? From what I understand. DNA is a very healthy production company that's never needed to disband. They've been running strong ever since they scored big boxoffi...

DNA Productions in Dallas, Texas. I believe it's under Nickelodeon distribution and marketing.

A handful of Blue Sky animators defected and are working on this one.

It's been about seven years of the CGI comedy and there needs to be something different. What about The Incredibles? That CGI film definitely extended the genre of animation. It was very live action cinema. And I think as long as Brad Bird is making animated films, we'll continue to see that kind o...

Hey, where's all the marketing for Chicken Little? Anyone else find it strange that there seems to be a limited number of trailers on TV right now. Is it more normal to have a marketing blitz take place a week before it comes out? I really thought we'd be inundated with ads by now. :? Anyone having ...

Fun!

I think you'll find Disney is heavily invested in a long line of original ideas that will span a decade or more of production time. What's even more promising is the diversity of ideas and styles in that line up. Sequels are untapped markets. Unfortunately, they get tapped dry and its always at a gr...

There's so much pressure on Chicken Little. I really hope it takes off!

Yeah. Sorry I posted it. I wish I hadn't. It's not worth wasting anybodies life energy.


Ah well.

Michael Barrier seems to have lost touch with reality too, huh? A lot of animator types both fans and professionals seem to be falling into this mind set these days. Its cool to have an opinion and all about what you like, but when you try to define for everyone else what the ultimate artistic maste...

Naw, these are two separate ideas. A sort of insider take. Keane is talking about his vein of preferance, which is getting back to the old classic style of disney animation. How do you bring as much or some part of it over to CG? Chicken Little is it's own brand of style being most similiar to the o...
