Horton and Valiant

20th Century Fox acquires rights to "Horton Hears a Who". I guess this will be one of the next projects for Blue Sky after Ice Age 2 is done. I'm not really a big fan of Dr. Seuss, so I cannot really gauge the possibilities of this picture. Hopefully the story will be tighter than Robots. Let's be honest, it wasn't that great. Good, but not great.

There is a poster for Valiant viewable at this URL . Notice the huge letters "From the Producer of Shrek & Shrek 2". If that isn't false advertising, I don't know what is! Also interesting to note that there is no mention of Vanguard in any text larger than a grain of rice. Of course Walt Disney is featured prominently. Judging by the reviews, I'm not so sure Disney should want to be aligned with this movie.

...end...

I thought the concept for Robots was genius. The story was so-so and the animation not so great, but the modelling and design were the best.

I hope that Blue Sky can pull their story deptartment together and compete with Pixer better.
