Then YEARS later the movie comes out, tanks and then they go away.<BR/><BR/>Everyone and their mother is trying to hop on board the CGI train. Most of these wannabes will fail and in the end when the dust settles you'll have the usual suspects: Pixar, Dreamworks etc<BR/><BR/>There is another studio in LA called Threshold digital which for years has been making a movie called food fight. Still not out yet.<BR/><BR/>When will these wannabes just go away. They're giving animation a bad name.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22906998.post-65137494406010500762008-12-12T08:36:00.000-08:002008-12-12T08:36:00.000-08:00"Delgo” was created, produced and distributed by A...<I>"Delgo” was created, produced and distributed by Adler’s Fathom Studios [in Atlanta], a local upstart independent.

Critics' choice award for best <I>movie</I>.<BR/><BR/>Maybe it's not as horrible as people think it is? Or more likely - L.A. critics probably just do not count as normal human beings.<BR/><BR/><BR/>On the 3D price hike... I'm with Steve - I'm skeptical this is a good move... especially with the economy the way it is. But I guess we'll see if movies are really recession-proof.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
