Today was Culver City Day, me doing my 401(k) enrollment meeting act at Sony Pictures Animation ...
The company has a couple of animated features in production. The one farthest down the track is Arthur Christmas, the Aardman co-production that has a combined America and Brit crew. Some of the work's being done in Britain, but most of it has been happening in Southern California. It's got a November (i.e. Holiday) release.
The Smurfs continues in work, and Hotel Transylvania (one of SPA's perennial favorites) is being boarded from the ground up under Genndy Tartakovsky's direction. (Genndy's newest helming assignment was noted by Bleeding Cool here.) An artist told me: "The script is working, we're supposed to have a first pass up on reels by early summer and revisions done by Fall. The crew is working full bore on it ..."
Sony Pictures Imageworks, in the same building as Animation, is finishing c.g. work on Green Lantern.

Oh dear. Hotel Transylvania is now more doomed than ever.
Maybe they should rename it "Hotel TBD"
To Make and manage movie making is hard but is not rocket science, meanwhile all the fat cats-executives at Sony pictures keep patting themselves in the back.
Neat trick, patting yourself *in* the back. Although if anyone could pull it off, a Sony executive could.
