Other animated features trundle along: "Alpha and Omega" drops 49% to #14 for a $21 million total. "Toy Story 3" shoots back up to #17, collects half a million new dollars and now stands at $412 million. "Despicable Me", down at #22, has (to date) collected $246.5 million.

In terms of upcoming animation box-office, I've seen some ads for "Megamind" on TV, but nothing so far for "Tangled". Has anyone seen any television promotion for Tangled, outside of some possible Disney Channel stuff?
We saw Guardians yesterday and it is gorgeous! It's very much worth seeing on the big screen.
Owls of Ga'hoole isn't a complete success on every level, but technically it's beautiful, and it tries to be more suspenseful than the norm. Worth seeing for the rare combination of big budget quality and scarier themes.
