Dreamworks Animation Going Three-Dimensional

Dreamworks Animation has announced the futuristic notion that it has plans to start releasing all of its pictures in 3-D. Beginning with summer 2009's Monsters vs. Aliens, their animation projects will be created with 3-D in mind from the outset. This news follows Disney's decision to release Meet the Robinsons on about 600 3-D screens as well as the apparently overlooked rise and fall of 3-D popularity during the '50s. If the plan is successful, studios will hopefully continue investing in strange, dated movie trends like Smell-O-Vision, hand-painting black & white film, and driving a train at the camera to scare the audience into thinking it will fly out of the screen.

Hasboro's Experiment 626 Figure

Sometimes, U.S. toys just get it right! This is a great Stitch - nice sculpt, lots of strong colors in a fine paint job, and cute play features. Press his chest button - he says one of several phrases. Press his back fin - his gun arms fly up and he talks some more! You can make him drool if you want, too - just use the (included) tub of slime, and fill up the reservoir in the back of his head. A terrific toy for the money!

You can still get one for $25.99 + shipping at cartoonfansclub.com or Underbid.com.

Recruiting new talent for the studio - Part 3

We had our third and final trip out of province to discover new blood for our new productions beginning next month. First, Miramichi, then Oakville, and now Ottawa!

I must say, the Algonquin college had the best animators yet, and so eager to work, learn and join our jolly band here at Collideascope!

After 12 straight hours of interviews, lectures and show reel reviews, we hit the town. We had some beaver tails and then hit the strip clubs! After a night of heavy drinking we awoke dazed and confused and nude, with Mexican wrestling masks on our heads... explanation? We have none, it was just really weird.

First Shot From New Star Wars Series

Despite the fact there won't be anything to stand in line in a costume for, many Star Wars fans are getting worked up for the new animated series planned to continue the Clone Wars saga. Starwars.com has released the first shot from the new show, which looks to combine the stylized look of Genndy Tartakovsky's Cartoon Network series with slightly more realistic 3D renderings. In short, Yoda is now a Pokemon.

300 Wins the Weekend

"My opening is even bigger than your mom's, sucka."

Last weekend, 300 took the top spot in the box office, bringing in an estimated $70 million and destroying its closest competitor, four past-their-prime actors playing four past-their-prime suburbanites in Wild Hogs. The massive earnings gives the epic the achievement of highest March opening ever, stealing the title from Ice Age 2: The Meltdown, which was apparently very popular, as well as becoming the third-highest opening for an R-rated film ever, just under The Matrix Reloaded and The Passion of the Christ. It also gained the honor, bestowed by the man behind me at the theater, of being "the most fucked up crazy ass shit" he'd ever seen. This award was given about fifteen times during the course of the movie.
