When the weekend's done, Tangled may yet again be in the top ten.
It should also be noted that Tangled is now the tenth highest-grossing film of the year. And this is the first year in which five of the top ten highest-grossing films are animated (Toy Story 3, Shrek Forever After, Despicable Me, How to Train Your Dragon, Tangled).
Now, Hollywood must look really ridiculous for treating animation as a second-class citizen for so many years. The medium practically saved Tinsleton this year.
Animation AND 3D saved Tinsletown this year. Six out of the top ten movies of the year were in 3D, including all five animated features.
That is why I don't get the scorn for 3D that sometimes rears forth on this blog. 3D is boosting animated box office figures big time, and that means more jobs and a healthier industry.
Acknowledging 3-D as a commercial factor and liking it as a viewing factor are two different things.
We do both,
But maybe you missed the ongoing TAG blog series: "The Permanence of 3-D".
