“Waking Sleeping Beauty is no fairytale. It is a story of clashing egos, out of control budgets, escalating tensions and one of the most extraordinary creative periods in animation history.

Director Don Hahn and producer Peter Schneider, key players at Walt Disney Studios Feature Animation department during the mid1980s, offer a behind-the-magic glimpse of the turbulent times the Animation Studio was going through and the staggering output of hits that followed over the next ten years.

Dreamworks finally released a trailer for their next feature, “How to train your dragon”, and as much as the first teaser didn’t tease me at all, this is looking a lot more exciting.

Also, it only crossed my mind today that the co-directors are nothing less than the dream team behind “Lilo and Stich”. Man why did Disney let those two go?! Wasn’t “Lilo and Stich” more exciting than any of those Princess movies? I know, Disney is bringing back 2d animation with more Princess movies. They don’t seem to get it to they? What must be happening at the Head of Disney reminds me of the latest episode of the american Apprentice.

DeBlois and Sanders at Dreamworks, I fell, will bring a lot of good to the company.

Up or down?

Up or down?

I was writing a Twitter Tweet and while comparing the boxoffice takings from Pixar’s “Up” to Blue Sky’s “Ice age 3 (Dawn of the Dinosaurs)”, I realised that the numbers are actually much worse than what jumps to the eyes.
