First "Frankenweenie" trailer: Burton makes a combat to Disney by making the film that got him fired



This was Tim Burton's first film. He made it for Disney, but they fired him because it was weird. Now he finally makes how it deserves to be.
Like The Artist its gonna be in all black in white. Its a spoof to Frankenstein as you can see some resemblance to Igor and Frankenstein's Bride. This just looks amazing.

Teaser for "Despicaple Me 2": An other use to wast time with the Minions



Well we have to wait tell next year in summer for the sequel to the instant classic Despicable Me. Well like other things that promoted the film were the hilarious Minions. Well this is them back in action.

New images of "Hotel Transylvania" and "The Croods"

      I first heard the names Adam Sandler, Kevin James, and Andy Samberg all in an animated film I was hooked.
     Hears a promo poster for Hotel Transylvania-
     Dracula is played by Sandler, witch kinda looks like him. Hears the synopses-
     Welcome to the Hotel Transylvania, Dracula’s (Adam Sandler) lavish five-stake resort, where monsters and their families can live it up, free to be the monsters they are without humans to bother them.  On one special weekend, Dracula has invited some of the world’s most famous monsters – Frankenstein and his bride, the Mummy, the Invisible Man, a family of werewolves, and more – to celebrate his daughter Mavis’s 118th birthday.  For Drac, catering to all of these legendary monsters is no problem – but his world could come crashing down when one ordinary guy stumbles on the hotel and takes a shine to Mavis.
       Now hears The Croods from Dreamworks about a prehistoric family. Hears the plot description-
      The Croods is a 3D comedy adventure from DreamWorks Animation that takes us back to the beginning – to a previously undiscovered era known as the Croodacious – a time when Mother Nature was still experimenting and the flora and fauna we know today hasn’t evolved yet. At the heart of this comedically chaotic world is the Crood family, led by Grug (Academy Award® winner Nicolas Cage), an over-protective father who, like all dads, is doing all he can to hold his family together as the world around them changes at a dramatic pace.
Together with his wife (Catherine Keener), kids (Emma Stone and Clark Duke) and ornery mother-in-law (Cloris Leachman) in tow, Grug guides his family through this spectacular environment, full of amazing creatures, to find a new cave to call home. Along the way, they encounter Guy (Ryan Reynolds), an imaginative and resourceful newcomer who takes risks and wholeheartedly embraces the promise of tomorrow. Audiences will relate to the hilarious family antics as Guy helps the Croods navigate their way into the bright future.
       Hears a great image-

    

"The Lorax" review: "Wait tell rent"

    I think I'm gonna watch this tomorrow even though the 57% rotten is giving me other thoughts, but I already have plans.
    Shows some pretty good cartoony CG animation witch you never see. It looks exactly like Blu Sky Studio's Horton Hears a Who! A good cast with a good environmental message (basically like Avatar). Some good reviews like "Director Chris Renaud and his team have fun with these dithery, frenetic characters. The film is less special when it slows down and takes a breath of fresh air." But some bad reviews like "The badness of the picture is a shock".
    Anyway wait tell rent, I'm going because of Betty White. An even though Fox News said that its too much political same with Arrietty.

"The Secret World of Arrietty" opens up at #10

     Whats up with these box office scores? I mean Act of Valor got #1 and it got 28% and that's horrible. So what it stars real active navy seals it still sucks. Well hear are the scores-
      At #1 is Act of Valor (28% rotten very bad), #2 is Tyler Perry's Good Deeds (31% rotten okay), and at #3 is Journey 2: The Mysterious Island (43% rotten okay).
    The only two fresh films were Arrietty and (I wanna see) Wanderlust as it got #8 with a sore of 61%. I still want to see Arrietty.

"Rango" wins Annie Awards, "Harry Potter", "Hugo", and "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" win Art Directors Guild

       Disney has filed a compliant to dishonest judging that Dreamworks had the awards rigged. But it was neither Pixar or Dreamworks that won gold it was Nickelodean's Rango.
       Rango winning five awards for best animated feature, character design, writing, and editing, plus the new Members’ Favorite Award.
        Kung Fu Panda 2 and The Adventures of Tintin earned two awards each. Neither DreamWorksPuss in Boots nor Pixar’s Cars 2 won any. Here’s the full list in the link AnnieAwards.org.
       In a short list to honer the art directors are very good. Hears the list-
  • Period Feature Film – HugoDante Ferretti
  • Fantasy Feature Film – Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2Stuart Craig
  • Contemporary Feature Film – The Girl With the Dragon TattooDonald Graham Burt
  • One-Hour Single Camera Television Series – Boardwalk Empire
  • Television Movie or Mini-Series – Mildred PierceMark Friedberg
  • Episode of a Half Hour Single-Camera Television Series – Modern Family Episode “Express Christmas” – Richard Berg
  • Episode of a Multi-Camera, Variety, or Unscripted Series – Saturday Night Live Episode “Host Justin Timberlake and Musical Guest Lady Gaga” – Keith Ian Raywood, Eugene Lee, Leo Yoshimura, N. Joseph De Tullio
  • Awards, Music, or Game Shows – 83rd Annual Academy AwardsSteve Bass
  • Commercials and Music Videos – Activision: Call of Duty Episode “Modern Warfare 3″Neil Spisak
       But hears what I think- since in a test to see which movies were the most rented was Just Go with it, No Strings Attached, and Rango. And in an other test for the top pirated films were Fast Five, The Hangover, and Rango, so was last year the year of Rango?
 

       

New images for "Wreck-it Ralph"

      Ever since Despicable Me I think that almost every film that I've seen stars the villain that turns into the hero like MegamindPuss in Boots, and some other films now this time its a villain from the world of video games.
       Starring John C. Reilly as the voice of Ralph, the film follows the title character, an 8-bit video game Bad Guy who dreams of being a hero. In order to change peoples’ perception of him, he travels to another video game land to confront the first person shooter character Sergeant Calhoun, voiced by Jane Lynch. But things don’t work out quite as Ralph planned.
        Directer Rich Moore (The Simpsons, Futurama)said this-
          I love the idea of a very simple 8-bit video game character struggling with the complex question: ‘isn’t there more to life than the role I’ve been assigned?’ In his quest for the answer, we journey with our hero through three visually distinct video game worlds.
          The film opens up November 2. Check out the images in the link below-

New Disney short "Paperman" revealed

      Disney is starting to go all out with shorts. Since they made my favorite The Ballad of Niessie and the short sequel to Tangled, Tangled Ever After. Now a new project is revealed.
      Hears what animator for the short Patrick Osborne had to say-
         We’re finishing up a rather exciting project at Disney in the next few weeks. It’s been keeping me pretty busy and away from this blog. The short is called Paperman. Directed by John Kahrs, the short will be running the festival circuit next year. We’re very proud of this one and can’t wait to show the world.
         That was posted December 29 so “next year” really refers to this year. This short could premiere in front of Disney's new animated project coming out this year called Wreck-it-Ralph.

"The Secret World of Arrietty" review: "See in theaters"

       I love the work of Studio Ghibli, since I think that its Pixar in Japan. My favorites are Kiki's Delivery, Ponyo, and Howl's Moving Castle (those are actually the ones I've seen).
       Beautiful hand-drawn animation, a great cast like Amy Poehler. A wonderful classic story. Critics say "The Secret World of Arrietty is a marvelously captivating animated feature about very tiny people and the full-scale world they inhabit." but some bad reviews like "This could have been, and should have been, a marvelous treat for children of all ages."
       So go see it, I think I might since me and my mom are huge Studio Ghibli fans.

Hints about two new projects from Studio Ghibli

      The Secret World of Arriety is the first Studio Ghibli film to premiere in America since 2009's Ponyo. Well now there are some new hints to whats ahead of this beautiful anime studio.
       Hayao Miyazaki’s son, Goro Miyazaki will be working on a new samurai film that blends fact and fiction and takes place “in the northeastern Tohoku region of Japan during the Middle Ages.”  This one sounds cool.
       The other project is from Evangelion director Hideaki Anno witch doesn't really say anything, hears what he said-
     “Director A” and “Director H” attended a meeting about an exhibition that “Director A” is supervising for the Museum of Contemporary Art in Tokyo this summer. A major highlight of the exhibition will be a new film work specifically made for the event.
         I don't know any of that is but in other news Hayao Miyazaki's film is set to be released sometime in 2013. I just wish that this studio makes a Samurai Jack film.

New Pixar short in the works from the minds of Pete Docter and Andrew Stanton

     There's been talk that now that Finding Nemo directer Andrew Stanton is off directing his first live-action film John Carter (I wanna see) that hes gonna quit working at Pixar. Well hes not- or I hope he isn't. I mean Ratatouille directer Brad Bird made his first live-action directing debut with last years Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol and it was a hit. And it seems that he doing well at the animation studio.
       Well Stanton and directer of Up and with his new film set on the inside of a young girls mind Pete Docter are in works of a new short. Hears what Stanton had to say-
        Yeah. As a matter of fact I’m developing a short film with Pete Docter. There’s an idea that he and I have had for years that we are finally getting around to doing which is kind of funny. We are both way too busy, but we just love the idea of doing this one little project together and then I’ve been… I executive produce a lot of the films over there and so I spend a lot of… People keep thinking I’ve been away from there, but I actually have been on campus for the last year and a half just helping watch over other stuff, but I don’t have a feature film of my own that’s an animated Pixar film that’s coming up soon, no. That’s a ways away.
       Stanton also gave a great follow-up statement that suggests he’s really not going anywhere, with respect to Pixar.
        I think it’s more fear that they think you’re going to get a taste for it and then leave. I’ve been saying this since the beginning, I said “What am I crazy? I worked so hard to help with this environment of this sort of free range chicken of being able to make movies without anybody messing with you, why would I ever want to leave it?” I’ll leave… If I’m making a live action film I’ll leave to actually shoot on location, but anything I’m ever going to develop or work on that’s animated this is my home. I’ve spent twenty years trying to make this my home; I’m not about to leave it.
     Well theirs my answer-
