I mean 3D animated animals. But I don’t hate Bambi or Godzilla. I hate the current hype in the 3D movie industry where everybody is making animal movies, the last one being Surf’s Up, the trailer looking exactly like Happy Feet; it’s totally shameless copying! We’ve had In the Wild, Madagascar, Happy Feet, etcetera, and I haven’t remembered their titles because they’re so colourless, there are so many of these movies … with astronomical budgets too; what a bloody waste!
Why?!? There’s this world full of loads of things (ok, including animals) to animate. Why not make an animated movie about paperclips? Or trees? Or some totally avant-garde looking sci-fi? Or about jazz singers? Or bank robbers? Or whatever else, just click the random button in Wikipedia and chances are you could make an animation about whatever comes up (with a little imagination). Don’t get me wrong; I’m not anti-animals. I’m anti-copycats (please note there’s an animal in copy cats).
Why does it always have to be about funny animals on a quest lately? Why not make an animated movie for adults? Why don’t the big studios try to research totally outrageous graphical styles? If anything is possible, why copy one another? Why don’t the studios have more balls, to make some movies that might be for a smaller audience, but are remembered and referenced years later? Yeah I know … money.
In my opinion, Tim Burton is one of the few directors that knows how to really make something different, in style, as well as story. But nobody can tell me there aren’t more people out there with a better sense of style and story telling. Let’s hope these people get their chances too some day.

I can relate. It is very frustrating to have such a little variety of 3D movie topics. Animals run there, animals run here. Wait let’s run the animals over there this time. Booring….

I couldn’t help but approve John Q’s comment. It really made me feel very bad about myself. I never realized I caused you a black Christmas, but please believe me when I say never meant to ruin it. Thank you so much for your time John. I think I really am going to have to read this comment over a few times to fully comprehend it, it is so deep. It really makes me think about my life, who I am and other really deep stuff like that, and it gives me an insight into my evil nature. Nobody has ever called me a nimrod before. I looked it up in the Oxford dictionary:
“According to all the standard dictionaries, this word means “a skillful hunter.” The term derives from the name of a king of Shinar (Southern Babylonia)—that is, King Nimrod, who is described in Genesis as a mighty hunter.”
Thank you so much John, God bless America and your heart…
Oh, and look up this word in your dictionary: “irony”.
