I enjoyed How to Train Your Dragon.
Oh and also I'm really not looking forward to when Pixar release Cars 2.
Pixar has a better track record because they've released less movies.
Echoing not wanting Cars 2.
*checking... checking...*
Ah. Despicable Me.

Still not the most amazing looking of films, but definitely the pick of the two.
wait
for
cars
2
I think that with How to Train Your Dragon and - to some extent - Kung Fu Panda, Dreamworks are trying harder to create genuinely enjoyable films, but this looks like another predictable, bland piece of fluff. I wonder how much of that is down to Jeffrey Katzenberg - apparently he was determined to make Toy Story more 'edgy' (ie. crap) while in charge of motion picture development at Disney. Also, Aardman split from Dreamworks after meddling from Katzenberg over the direction of Curse of the Wererabbit and Flushed Away.
I loved the style and to me Megamind (the character) was appealing.
I think Despicable Me looks amazing aswell.
Yes it's ANOTHER superhero movie but I love the animation, gotta give it that. IT'S DREAMWORKS.
Pixar will always be king tho =]
Weirdly, I never actually enjoyed Shrek at all. Was kinda meh...
we are getting older and we are losing the child within us? :P
I remember you that these films are aimed to all ages, but more for small kids. Don't expect something very complex because the answer will be always a NO.
Anyone watched planet 51? the story was very very bad, but the kids in my family loved it.
I watched Monsters vs Aliens the other day and i enjoyed it. It has its flaws like all, but it was good!
Too many countries would like to have companies like pixar and dreamworks.. i don't understand some of you
Monsters vs Aliens was entertaining sure, it wasn't a shadow of Nemo, Bugs Life, the Incredibles, Ratatoullie, Fantastic Mr. Fox, Kung Fu Panda, 9, or a dozen other animated films, and hey isn't this the same villain?
it's got nothing to do with "losing the child within us" and everything to do with another mediocre movie from a mostly mediocre studio.
To be honest everyone sound like they are dissing Dreamworks but they are one of the top dogs along with Pixar and ILM. Even if it has bad voice actor choices and, for some of you, unappealing characters, it's still VERY high qaulity animation. These guys are some of the best at animation - maybe not at ideas.
BTW, I thought Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs was stupidly entertaining and had all the right ingredients when it came to story, animation, characters etc. Check it out if you haven't already!
Keeping in mind that I watched this trailer, knowing Dreamworks CAN do good things: I was... so very underwhelmed. This looks COMPLETELY like a cash cow that they're trying to milk, but others got their first and left only the last few drops. I kept thinking, hey, this is kinda like the Incredibles... but not very good.
Yes, the ANIMATION looked good. But that's not what the point here is. This movie looks like a bunch of big-name actors crammed into a tirelessly copied idea. The bad-guy winning COULD make for a great story, but a good movie needs more than one great idea to carry it. This movie looks VERY dissapointing already.
For everyone brining up How To Train Your Dragon (which, imo, is an AMAZING movie, great story, designs, everything), I just want to point out that the guys in charge of making it awesome were with Disney before. Before they brought Chris Sanders and Dean DeBlois on, they admitted it was headed for a train wreck. In fact, we have them to thank for Lilo and Stich as well. So yes, it was through Dreamworks, but what's more important is the specific PEOPLE working directly on each project. Like, I LOVE Pixar, but think John Lasseter should stay away from the creative side nowadays. NO MORE CAR MOVIES. Whereas Brad Bird was in charge of the Incredibles, and everyone knows how amazing that movie was.
Despicable Me was really funny and cute, but you gotta admit was shadowed immensly in comparisson to Toy Story 3. (It would probably be better commended if it hadn't come out between two monster animated hits--HTTYD, and TS3)
Now, what I'M looking forward to coming up is the new Disney movie Tangled.

Okay, maybe I'm looking too much into ONE trailer, and it actually will be a lot of fun. But so far, it just seems like insanely overhyped tripe to me.
Phew /end rant. Sorry, I'm a little passionate about animated films... can you tell I'm an animator?
P.S. Living hair is inherently creepy:

but this looks like....Will Farrel as every other character hes done, random yelling that isnt funny. and you can bet jonah hill will have some scene where he wispers something awkward really closeley into someones ear......just like every other movie he is. I was expecting Michael cera to apper and make some stuttery awkward line.
the animation itself looks nice, visually it doesn't look as mind blowing as something like ratatouille but whatever, the characters just seem like the same characters those actors always play.
looking forward to Tangled though. And hopefully more 2D animated movies.
I can't stand Shrek and, I think, Shrek 2 was the last Dreamworks film I've seen. I won't be watching this. It looks like the same old, tired shit. All with dodgy cut-aways to gaudy pop music sequences and montages.
Nice idea, but wasted - It's a shame Dreamworks have done a "badguy wins" film, as any of the other big 3D CG studios would probably have made it more appealing.
Problem is that most kids cant even tell a difference between a quality animated feature like Toy Story 3 and a stupid nonsense like Tangled. To them it's all the same.
I am beginning to think that Pixar is coming to a point where most of their work is becoming more and more mature. There's still enough there for the kids to giggle at, but their recent work with Ratatouille, Wall-e and especially Up just feels so special.
Every time I watch a Pixar film and I cant help but vomit at the rubbish that's coming from Disney in the preview trailers.
Dreamworks and others sure have their moments once in a while, but I usually judge an animated film by how well it can age. 90% of films made by Pixar competitors do not age well at all. Silly pop culture slapstick cant hold up and the star studded voice cast wont carry the film with no substance.
I can still watch Toy Story and enjoy it. What they do is pure magic.
If you're looking for all alternative to the existing studios, Rango looks like it might have some potential

It's certainly pretty.

Which certainly looks like it will be pretty awesome.
I like the whole Western thing rango seems to have going.
