Around El Studios

A busy week, what with all the 401(k) meetings at all the different studios (me going "blah blah...asset classes...blah...saving for retirement...blah blah blah"). I get tired of hearing the sound of my voice.

At Film Roman-Chandler Street, King of the Hill reaches the middle of its current teevee season, with episode #9 (out of 21) starting production next week. Staff is working its way back to being a well-oiled machine after the previous well-oiled machine got dismantled for three months when Fox thought it was all done making new episodes, but then changed its mind.

At Film Roman/Starz Media near the Burbank airport, most staffers who were on the Simpson Movie have now returned to the Mother Ship known as the television series. Only a few stragglers remain on movie-related items like commercials and interstitials. But the Big Movie is o-ver. (As it would have to be, since the film comes out July 27th.)

At DreamWorks, most people I talk to think Kung Fu Panda is shaping up as a top-notch animation entry.How to Train Your Dragon has Peter Hastings at the helm and an accelerated schedule on story and production for a Fall 2009 release.

Yes. They're not making them for internal use only.

When is it on?

Check your local listings.

Kung Fu Panda?!?!

have we learned nothing from surfing penguins? when are these dunces going to try to put together a real film and not an extreme sport mixed with talking animals.
i look forward to watching these idiots waste money on future titles such as:
"Snowboarding Frogs"
"Skate Squirrels"
&
"The Breakdancing Bear"

good grief.

Dunces?
The title may not be great, but the film is a character movie. Not that that'll convince you. BTW, those "surfing penguins" were well-reviewed and well-regarded, they just didn't break box office records.

But hey, since you know so much and have all the answers, please feel free to fax your thought to Jeffrey Monday morning. Great insight shouldn't go unrewarded. : P
