Hmmmm, maybe they should have also done something with that little boy with the fishing pole.
I heard that there were actually people out there who objected to that logo, as it endorses fish murder!
But he's not REALLY catching fish, he's fishing for ideas. (According to Spielberg.)
I also like the new DW animation logo. I think it's good because it'll help regular people differentiate between DW animation and movies, thus making DW animation more visible.

You can’t just have your characters announce how they feel! That makes me feel angry!
That's not even close to being a well designed interface (with some flaky actionscript programming as well...). If you're gonna use Flash, use it in a way that really uses the possibilities of the platform. This site (even aside from the lousy interface) might just as well have been built in xhtml.
Maybe he was distracted by that whole shareholder suit thing. :idea:
I also think the site could be better, especially the DW Animation site which bascially has nothing, just a list of the films, jobs, policies, that's pretty much it. I hate to say it but they could learn from the Disney.com site...

Wow, you really know your stuff!

That probably depends on whether or not the Dreamworks brand will remain. If it will, I would not expect any changes in the DW sites in the next year or so. If Universal takes over completely, there is no way they won't change the sites. Chances are however, that the animation site will become part of the general features site.
You know it was only the storage facility for old props, sets, cels, and storyboards that got destroyed, right?
The actual FILM studio which is in another area didn't catch fire.
'Sides, Aardman DOESN'T save the clay figures because they go bad quickly after they finish filming. They even said losing some of the sets wasn't that big a deal because they rebuild for most filming anyway.
The more important thing is that NOBODY was physically hurt by the fire... Although why the fire happened in the first place is beyond me. Faulty wiring? Arson? Plain dumb luck?
Sales don't just happen in the blink of an eye Vi!
It takes months for legal to work it all out and to finalise things. What has happened is that Paramount has made an offer and SKG have agreed to it.
Now there is lots of hard work to be done while contracts are made up, looked over, signed, etc. Then the logistics need to be ironed out, like who goes where and how.
Could be Spring before Paramount offcially "owns" DreamWorks outright, and in anycase, they didn't buy Animation as that is a publicly owned company, so that website won't change anyway.
