The DreamWorks Dally

This morning, I spent ten minutes in the DreamWorks parking garage trying to find a parking space.

Every slot was taken. I finally gave up the attempt when a guard said: "Oh yeah, we're kinda jammed. You can drive around behind the Lakeside building, I think there's some spots there."

But since the Lakeside Building was a quarter mile away and I didn't have another quarter hour to kill, I drove to Disney Television Animation two blocks away and toured through that. (DTVA is doing fine, in case you were wondering.)

I had better luck finding a parking slot at the 'Works after lunch ...

Every building of the DW campus is bursting with activity. Monsters and Aliens, Shrek, Madagascar Deux, and on and on. DreamWorks' Lakeside Building is getting enlarged, and the administrative staff is gone from the upper floors.

But down on the lower levels, artists are working, with animators hand-drawing new material for the DVD of Kung Fu Panda, the original.

"This has been a fun project. It should go on to late July. Then who knows? Maybe we can get on Princess and the Frog at Disney..."

Who says hand-drawn feature 'toons are dead? They're just hibernating.

For the first time in a while I laid eyes on a digital ink-and-paint crew hard at work on traditional animation in one of Lakeside's big rooms. The color set-ups for KFP glowing off their lcd screens knocked my garters off. They're damn pretty.

I'm actually glad that there's going to be a KFP sequel, because there is still a story to tell - Tai Lung's story. That snow leopard got to me, even though he was certainly a badass. But he acquired some soul, and for some reason I hope the second film is about his redemption. At any rate, that storyline would be better than just rehashing the plot of the original film, as so many sequels in general do.

Forget Tai Lung, I want to learn more about the Furious Five. They bothered to get Jackie Chan to be the voice Master Monkey but he barely said anything.
I just hope the sequel will be more epic and tell an even bigger story!

Eh, as long as the sequel truly lives up to what the original was, I'll be happy. There are still stories to tell, of course, but I'm not completely sure that they need 5 more movies to do that.

the new movie should be about the Ten Thousand Demons of Demon Mountain v.s. The Dragon Warrior and the Furious Five
