Blue Sky sometimes cracks in, but without Ice Age they ain't nothing that great. To become big now is tough, and invest in smaller or independent animated films is stupid (too many examples). A studio needs a bankable franchise to keep it alive, like DWA's Shrek and Madagascar, Pixar's Toy Story, BSA's Ice Age. The Simpsons would have been bombed had it not for its ten-year show. Even Wallace and Gromit isn't enough in the US. Good luck to those who try.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
