There were all written eight to 12 years ago. Rereading them, the articles seemed quaint, but at the time the writers (and numerous industry experts) were sure that the public would never stand for 2 or 3, and later 5 or 6, animated features being released in the same year. Doom was upon us!<br /><br />We've gone from a time when there was one successful animated feature every 3-4 years (always a Disney film), to several successful films a year, to several successes a season. What the public has shown is, if the film is well done and entertaining, they'll pay to see it again and again, even if there are other films in the multiplexes. <br /><br />My educated guess is that many of these films will do well if they are done well, and the clinkers will tank. And if two or three cartoons in a row tank, then the doomsayers will finally be sure they were right all along.Kevin Kochhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03106628232118096961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22906998.post-33715434309870463152013-06-13T09:25:48.418-07:002013-06-13T09:25:48.418-07:00The end is nearing...I can almost smell itThe end is nearing...I can almost smell itJamil R.
