Animation Captain Jumps Ship

From our friends at The Hollywood Reporter:

Pixar vet Brad Lewis, who co-directed Cars 2 with John Lasseter, is changing gears and is joining Digital Domain's Tradition Studios, where he will direct animated features. ...

From PDI to Pixar to Digital Domain, with long stays at the first two studios. That is quite an impressive track record.

So maybe Tradition/ Digital Domain becomes yet another player in feature animation. Whatever happens down the road, it sure as hell looks looks as if they're serious about giving it their best shot.

Jumping ship or getting pushed out after he failed with Cars 2? At least Sweetland got the boot before he started with Monsters, so there's a chance the movie could still be good (if it was bad in the first place).

Seriously, his credit list is not that impressive.

Such a prima donna. Not particularly talented, either. Bad move for DD, but good riddance for everyone else.

Maybe next they'll hire max howard and frank gladstone to help. Poor DD--one bad decision after another.
