Because no Panda can do that stuff, and also I'm not much of a DreamWorks fan. :)

And Cars can't talk...And rats can't cook...And penguins can't surf.

Look, it's a cartoon. That's what cartoons do.

Remy, you'll need to tone down that headache-inducing signature image. It's too big and too loud.

Choose one and let it stand. Thanks. :)

No kidding, its making the page act up for me. Just a hunch, but I think it was intentional.

Regardless, here's some good news on Panda. So far so good!

it's 2.35 (well, actually 2.4)

Am I looking at the wrong trail then? The one I saw (the Jack Black thing) was 1.78.

Is the second "movie clips" preview 2.4 then? Very cool that they've shot it wide.

Two words: Totally Awesome.


Thanks. :)
You can’t just have your characters announce how they feel! That makes me feel angry!

Yes, they look nice.

Oddly shaped...But nice.

Yeah well, isn't animation supposed to be all about caricature? :)

No, the designs are great - it's the shape of the stills that bothers me. :P

How come? :)

They're widescreen 2.35:1, proof that the movie will look <I>great</I>!

Think <I>Incredibles, Cars, Ratatouille</I> wide. I think this is the first time DWA have made a (computer) movie in this ratio. Their only previous one was the tradigital Spirit.

Unfortunately I don't really notice that sort of thing. I don't have a trained eye for it yet.

Anyway, if that's a good thing, then all for the better. :)
