Oil company named Pixar?

   It was said yesterday day that a Canadian oil company has renamed its self after the most amazing animation company Pixar. Its not said that if the studio is gonna sue the company yet.
   Speaking of oil and Pixar, it is rumored that there will be a second Finding Nemo about the Gulf of Mexico oil spill. Could be a sign.             

"Looney Tunes Show" DVD clip

I just love the Looney Tunes. It has the best toony looking animation I've seen. I love the idea of it, "How the Looney Tunes cast is in modern times."
Hears a clip of the DVD set. Its awesome, I just wish it wasn't all about Bugs Bunny.

Cool looking "Charlie Brown Christmas" poster

   Tom Whalen has made an awesome looking poster for my favorite A Charlie Crown Christmas. Man, I wish I had this.

"Arthur Christmas" opens up at #4

   The new Twilight movie is giving the new competitors a run for there money as its been #1 for 2 weeks already. Even the new Happy Feet is winning Arthur Christmas.
    At #1 is The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn (26% rotten very bad), at #2 is The Muppets (98% fresh awesome), and at #3 is Happy Feet Two (42% rotten okay). Puss in Boots is still in the race as its in #8.
    This movie looks awesome. And you know the elves in this movie act like the elves off of the ABC Christmas special Prep and Landing, you know like all spy like.

Dreamworks to make new studio?

     Just today Dreamworks decided to make another film studio, but on theme parks. Hears the quote- “Dreamworks in talks to set up a joint venture studio in Shanghai…to produce animation and design theme parks.”
    I have no idea what this is. 

"Family Guy" Death voice

I last posted a video of Seth MacFarlin being Brian now its time for Adam Corrola as the voice of Death check it out.

"Ice Age: A Mammoth Christmas" review: "Watch it"

     Thanksgiving is today and theirs allot of specials out today. Like all the lovable characters in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Or tonight on NBC with Horton Hears a Who! on ABC is A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving.
    In this all Christmas themed Ice Age it has more of the new baby (she talks now). The animation could do some work. But still. And after that is the new Life is a Warm Blanket Charlie Brown.
   So watch it and happy Thanksgiving from A-Mation!

First "Beauty and the beast 3-D" trailer

I don't know why there releasing awesome movie in 3-D. Like The Lion King was 91% on Rotten Tomatoes but after its 3-D release it dropped to a 89%.
After this Disney will release Finding Nemo in 3-D. Also out is James Cameron's Titanic in 3-D.

"I Tawt I Taw a Puddy Tat" review: "Wait tell rent"

   In this new 3-D animated short of the Looney Tunes duo is one of the many funny shorts.
   Amazing animation, with the classic music, and speaking of classic the voices of the characters is the same 1951 recording of Mel Blanc, the origanals.
   Wait tell rent, because its Happy Feet Two.

"Small Fry" review: "See in theaters"

   This is my first review for a short so when I mean "see in theaters" just go watch The Muppets (97% fresh awesome).
   Still has the same animation as the last Toy Story, and the same great story. I haven't seen this one or the Hawaiian Vacation in front of Cars 2. Well no one in my family likes The Muppets and Cars 2 looks bad.
   So go see this in theaters, with The Muppets. 

First "Kung Fu Panda 2" DVD trailer

The first trailer for the sequel for Kung Fu Panda. And of coarse its gotta be a combo pack, like the How to Train your Dragon combo pack and the Megamind one. So hear it is.

New "Toy Story" short image

   This short that is appearing now in theaters in front of The Muppets. In this still shows the small Buzz with a small version of his arch enemy Zurg. This short looks cute.

"Arthur Christmas" review: "See in theahers"

    With the hilarious new Harold and Kumar Christmas movie this is another best looking holiday themed movie.
    Got the best animation I've seen from Aardman, and this is the first the company has worked with Sony. The bad thing is that they chose Justin Beiber to sing the classic song Santa Clause is Coming to Town. This movie looks awesome. As this got an awesome 94% fresh on the Tomatoemeter.
    So go see this in theaters. I might even go.

     Some of them I've never heard of the only ones I've seen was The Ballad of Nessie (short in front of Winnie the Pooh) and half of I Tawt I Taw a Puddy Tat witch is about the loveable Tweety and Silvester from the Looney Tunes (appears in front of Happy Feet Two). The Smurfs one looks cool and its from Sony, at least its not like the movie animation, good ol' 2-D. 

"MW3" highest grossing animated project of the year?

   No its not Tintin or Happy Feet Two, heck its not even a movie. They say that the Call of Duty: MW3 is the highest grossing animated thing of 2011.
   Could it be? Yeah it is. We all knew this. So, its not really a surprise to me so. Witten its 24 hour release it sold over 6.5 million units in the US and UK earning over $400 million and working its way up to $1 billion. This even beat the new score for the last Harry Potter.
   This is what CEO of Activision Bobby Kotick said- “We believe the launch of ‘Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3′ is the biggest entertainment launch of all time in any medium, and we achieved this record with sales from only two territories,”
   So yeah its a big deal.

"Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3" review: "Buy it"

     Once the new Call of Duty game came out, all most all the kids at my school bought it first day it came out (all nerds)... except for like three of my friends have them so...
     With this being the most well bought and most popular animated type thing of the year, this game deserves more than just being played. There are also talks for a TV show about the game. Perfect animation and allot of breathtaking action for all the gamers. And like I said everything is better with Jonah Hill. I haven't played but man, do I want to.
    So buy it, you wont put the gaming controller down for a second.
   

Illumination Entertainment to make a "Woody Woodpecker" movie

   After making Despicable Me and Hop and in the works with The Lorax, Illumination Entertainment is being bigger and bigger. Now making mine and my brother's favorite cartoon character come to life like never before. The problem is that its gonna be in CG, I mean didn't they learn anything about Hop. Why can't people just make classic cartoons like there supposed to be like Winnie the Pooh.
    Blades of Glory writers John Altschuler and Dave Krinsky will work on it saying there gonna- “modernize the character for contemporary audiences” Also were they executive producers for King of the Hill and now after making there huge and long waited return to MTV, Beavus and Butt-head.
    So they ruined Alvin and the Chipmunks, Yogi Bear, The Smurfs, now they better not ruin Woody Woodpecker and Sony's up coming animated Popeye.

"Scrat's Contential Drift: Part 2" short

If you saw Rio you would of seen a little short of another amusing short starring the hilarious Scrat. Hears the second part to this. I think this is gonna appear in front of the new Alvin and the Chipmunks movie. And this is basically just a trailer for the new Ice Age film. This is cool and hilarious. Hope you like it.

"Happy Feet Two" review: "Wait till rent"

     The sequel for the award winning film Happy Feet came out today, and it is probably not gonna be your favorite film like the first one. But hey.
    It got 42% rotten (okay) on the Tomatoemeter. Its got pretty good animation, with an amazing cast. The film will lose you at the beginning of the 40 minutes. Although your kids will find it cool, and you might find this a bit cute, but still not worth wasting your money. And I would probably watch this just because the very hot Sofia Vergara is in it. 
   So just wait till rent, because this movie isn't worth the wait.   

New "Happy Feet Two"" TV spot

Hears a new TV spot the sequel of the award winning film (Happy Feet Two got 39% rotten on Rotten Tomatoes). This movie just looks awful.

New "Pirates!" trailer

This movie is looking better and better. I cant wait. Oh, and doesn't Salma Hyek's character act allot like her character in Puss in Boots?

"How to Train your Dragon: Gift of the Night Fury" clip

Out right now is the combo pack of How to Train your Dragon holiday themed DVDs. It looks cool but still not good for wasting money.
We get to see Hiccup and his leg some more. I kinda feel bad for the guy.

"Mario and Sonic at the London Olympic Games" launch trailer

The first was cool, the second was better, but now it looks awesome. This time in London. And anything is good with Mario and Sonic together. I also want to play Super Mario 3-D Land.

First "Brave" trailer

Finally the first trailer for the epic looking film is out. Still looks awesome, but kinda looks cheesy and kinda like How to Train your Dragon.
It shows more of the lead female role. And more of the villainous bear. So hears the trailer hope you like it.

Final "Happy Feet Two" trailer

I don't know why Warner Bros. is releasing a new trailer for the sequel to Happy Feet since its coming out Friday already. But whatever. Hears the trailer.
Will to be honest this will probably not be at the #1 spot at box-office, considering the fact that The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1 is coming out Friday (even though it got a 20% rotten on Rotten Tomatoes).

"Tintin" is the highest grossing film in India

    Tintin is the highest grossing movie in India according to Sony. It earned $1.46 million by opening in that county.
   Man I want to see this.

New "Brave" images

    Pixar's new Brave is coming, and well we need some info of it. The studio has released three new pictures of the film (looks allot like How to Train Your Dragon). These look amazing, but it must be hard to render and animate the girl's hair.
   This is what directer Mark Andrews said about the film-

       She’s your anti-princess… She isn’t your typical princess. She doesn’t wear nice clothes except in a couple of scenes when her strict mom, Queen Elinor, makes her do it for special functions. She’s an active and action-oriented person. She wants to get out in the outdoors of the Highlands, escaping from castle life and exploring the woods.

     Check out the pictures in the link below-
      http://www.slashfilm.com/images-pixars-brave/

First "Toy Story" short clip

After the short in front of Cars 2 theirs a new one. With Jane Lynch as that mermaid. Check it out, it looks awesome.

"Tangled" to get short before 3-D "Beauty and the Beast"

    What ever happened to Repunzle and Flyn Rider's wedding? Will now all those questions will be revealed. Its gonna be called Tangled Ever After. It will premiere in front of the 3-D Beauty and the Beast. Hope its good. The poster above.

First "Beauty and the Best 3-D" poster

     After re-imagining the classic Lion King and in talks about doing Finding Nemo, The Little Mermaid, Monsters inc, and other films in 3-D Disney has made the poster for Beauty and the Beast. The poster looks pretty classical, hear it is. And I think that Disney should make A Bugs Life in 3-D, I mean I think that everybody forgot about that movie.

First "Toy Story" short image

      Above is the new image for the short that will be released in front of The Muppets. I still haven't seen the first short in front of Cars 2. In this one Buzz is replaced by a Happy Meal toy and Woody and the gang must bring him back. Thats why Buzz is so small. Hears what director/writer Angus MacLane had to say-

      It’s like the Prince and the Pauper tale for toys. Except one of them happens to be 3 inches tall… There’s something funny about having the action hero have to deal with something very mundane like escaping from an awkward social situation. To me, that’s funny.

     Pixar short Day and Night director Teddy Newton will be the voice of the small version of Buzz, but of course Tim Allen will play the original Buzz.  

Is Pixar's winning streak over?

     After making there first bad movie, Pixar will probably not get an Oscar. Hears what entertainment reporter Patrick Goldstein had to say (witch is kinda harsh)-

        “There’s no guarantee that “Cars 2” will even end up being a nominee with such a crowded field… In fact, the reviews for “Cars 2” were abysmal, with the film earning a lowly 38% fresh rating at Rotten Tomatoes. Just how lowly is a 38% rating? Put it this way: “Tyler Perry’s Madea’s Big Happy Family” and “Cowboys & Aliens” got higher Rotten Tomatoes scores. It didn’t stop lots of people from seeing the film, but it is bad news for Pixar’s chances of winning the Oscar for animated feature, a category Pixar has won four times in a row and six out of the last eight.” 

      So maby this is true. And Cars 2 does look dumb.

New "Cars 2" clip

Hears a new clip from the sequel to Cars hears a clip. And be sure to rent the DVD if you want to.

Bill Keane dies at age 89

     Family Circus cartoonist has passed away yesterday. After making a beloved comic strip next to Peanuts and all that. So let him rest in peace, he will be missed.

"Harold and Kumar" to get animated series

       After having the popular movie (I wanna see) out last Friday the idolized characters Harold and Kumar will have there own cartoon. It was gonna be live-action but you know with all the marijuana stuff they had it animated. Although the actors of the movie will not be voiced in the show.
     MTV and Comedy Central are bidding for the rights for the show. Also in talks is that Niel Patrick Harris will be a character instead of a guest star. But the movie writers will write the show too.
     The new Harold and Kumar movie has some good use of clay-mation. And speaking of MTV why don't they show any music any more.

"Wrinkles" trailer

Wrinkles is also one of the 18 eligible films to get an Oscar. This is a Spanish film based on the comic book. I want this to be nominated, since I'm Mexican. Its called Arrugas (Wrinkles). Hears the plot-

Based on Paco Roca’s comic of the same title (2008 National Comic Prize), Wrinkles is a 2D animated feature-length film for an adult audience. Wrinkles portrays the friendship between Emilio and Miguel, two aged gentlemen shut away in a care home. Recent arrival Emilio, in the early stages of Alzheimer, is helped by Miguel and colleagues to avoid ending up on the feared top floor of the care home, also known as the lost causes or “assisted” floor. Their wild plan infuses their otherwise tedious day-to-day with humor and tenderness, because although for some their lives is coming to an end, for them it is just beginning.
This kinda looks like those Animation Domination shows, and Reccess.

Seth MacFarlane on "Family Guy"

Watching a voice being made is amazing to see. Especially if its Seth MacFarlane, since hes the voice of Peter, Stewie, and Brian, but for now I'll show you Brian. Hear it is.

"Allen Gregory" review

    Jonah Hill has been in allot of movies this year. Like in Money Ball and coming up 21 Jump Street and I wanna see The Sitter. But with his own cartoon. Coming to Animation Domination joining The Simpsons, American Dad, Family Guy, and The Cleveland Show.
   It has beautiful music with amazing animation, and everything's better with Jonah Hill.
   So watch it, its actually good.

18 movies to go to the top 5 list of nomminated Oscars

      There's been allot of good movies this year with allot of bad films too. This was the year of Pixar's first bad film and Nickelodeon Movies best rated film since my favorite The Wild Thornberrys Movie. Well the list for the most eligible movies to be at the Oscars. The awards will go out on January 24th. Hears the list-

•   Rango 
•   Kung Fu Panda 2 
•   Puss in Boots 
•   Rio 
•   Cars 2 
•   Hoodwinked Too! Hood vs. Evil
•   Gnomeo and Juliet
•   Mars Needs Moms
•   Winnie the Pooh    
•   The Adventures of Tintin
•   Arther Christmas
•   Happy Feet Too
•   Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwreaked 
•   The Smurfs
•   Alois Nebel
•   A Cat in Paris
•   Chico and Rita
•   Wrinkless

    Some movies aren't out yet so really not much to say. The last four are foreign. But what I'm rooting for is Rango, Kung Fu Panda 2, Puss in Boots, Rio, and Winnie the Pooh. The rest are just bad. I wish they had the Mexican Top Cat, Don Gato on the list.

Dreamworks working on "Alma"

     After making the hits Puss in Boots and Kung Fu Panda 2, Guillermo del Toro decided to make a full length adaption to his short Alma. It will have the same name and Sunshine Cleaning writer will do this. Also will Pixar animator Rodrigo Blaas do this, As he did many classics like Wall-E, Finding Nemo and La Luna, witch the main character looks like Alma.
     The movies about a little girl drawn into a creepy toy store. So there it is.

"Cars 2" DVD review: "Rent it"

    This was the year of the worst Pixar movie ever. Now its on DVD. So this kinda wont sum it up.
    The DVD includes special features like all DVDs do. It includes a Mater short called Air Mater. Also includes the new Toy Story short starring Barbie and Ken called Hawaiian Vacation.
    So anyway Rent it. You don't want to keep this.

"ParaNorman" trailer

Next to The Lorax this is another long waited movie trailer reveal. This one actually looks good, still has the same classic scary scenes, with Season of the Witch song.
I cant wait for this.

"The Lorax" trailer

Finally the first trailer for The Lorax is hear. I thought this was gonna be amazing, but it was kinda disappointing to see a beautiful book by Dr.Suess look like this.
There's like barley any Lorax scenes, just Zach Efron. But still, its good that it reminds me of Horton Hears a Who!

"Puss in Boots" opens up at #1

      I've seen Puss in Boots last Saturday and it was amazing. Now it got what it deserved.
    It opened up at #1 leaving (I wanna see) Paranormal Activity (66% good) at #2 and In Time (36% OK) at #3. Please go watch this movie.
