It's a cute kid's cartoon, but not necessarily the kind of wide audience film paramount was thinking it might be. paramount is having very real problems with it's own animation department, with multiple heads over the last few years, and many comings and mostly goings of key creative staff. They hired an animator to run the place--someone who had zero experience running a studio. Bad idea. And their first animated feature is apparently in such trouble they may shut it down as well. They hired a "director" with no storytelling experience to do it, and the chickens have come home to roost.Granthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07765810086441119030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22906998.post-83327890518911489712016-03-12T08:02:07.245-08:002016-03-12T08:02:07.245-08:00The French co-production studio was supposed to po...The French co-production studio was supposed to pony up for half the advertising/distribution costs, and they reneged.

Based on testimony I've heard from both critics and the people who already saw it, it's apparently really amazing. My guess is that it was legal issues, or perhaps maybe the producers didn't want Paramount's current financial instability hurting its performance.Adam Martinezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03330425027066438506noreply@blogger.com
