I mean, Barbieheimer worked because it was two different movies not competing with an audience. Can't say the same for Transformers.

(Although personally The Wild Robot looks better)

DreamWorks is producing a movie adaptation of their Netflix preschool show Gabby’s Dollhouse. Source is Deadline.

Here in Canada most of the Dreamworks shows air on cable channels, mainly Family Channel and its sister channels Wildbrain TV (formerly Family CHRGD) and Family Jr, with a few on YTV. The aformentioned Gabby's Dollhouse is on Treehouse, Canada's equivalent to Nick Jr.

Here Gabby's Dollhouse airs in Netflix. Also I thought DW had a hand in the CG.

Also wow didn't know Dragons: The Nine Realms lasted long. Apparently just finished its season last year in December.

Day 4: Stop-motion goodness... with chickens!

"NO CHICKEN ESCAPES FROM TWEEDY'S FARM!!!"

The first of three collaborations between DreamWorks and British stop-motion studio Aardman Animations, and it's a delight. Chock-full of typical British humor and charm with the very funny premise of basically being a WWII prison escape movie WITH CHICKENS ON A FARM! As a kid, though, that aspect didn't really stick out to me, I just saw it as a silly chicken movie, but now being able to recognize the WWII imagery being used added a whole other layer to the humor. The plot and characters are rather simple, but enjoyable, especially Mrs. Tweedy, who radiates classical Disney villain-type energy. The animation is fantastic, a true testament to Aardman's talents in stop-motion. I didn't see the sequel that apparently came out on Netflix last year, might give it a try at some point, but the original Chicken Run is a fun little movie. Next up, we're delving into probably DreamWorks's most obscure film ever, so that'll be neat.

Oh okay. That number makes sense. I'm actually surprised that the fourth Kung Fu Panda movie is doing so well. But, this franchise has always done well at the box office.

So I watched today Penguins of Madagascar on Netflix and I noticed that human characters look similar to how humans looked like in Home (2015), while some human women look similar to Ugga and Eep from The Croods. Did anyone else noticed that?

Day 5: Joseph: King of Dreams... not their best work.

Yeah... like i said, this movie is super obscure, a Direct to Video prequel to The Prince of Egypt... and considering it's the only direct-to-video movie they did, I'm guessing it didn't do well, sales-wise. And as a film itself... yeah, it's not great. The animation is, quite expectedly, a huge downgrade from Prince of Egypt, looking noticeably cheap and even outright choppy in a few places. The dream sequences try to flip between artstyles and the effect doesn't really come off all thar well, one time it's in a Van Gough style for... some reason (what correlation does he have with the Bible, exactly?), and another time it's in Beast Wars-level CGI. Ben Affleck voices Joseph, and he's an example of why Celebrity Voice Actors don't always work; experience in screen acting doesn't always translate to a vocal performance and he's very clearly not used to the technique required; his performance cones across quite flat and whiny. He also isn't given all that much of a personality, compare that to the excellent character building and emotional depth given to both Moses and Rameses. Nobody else is really any better, the most interesting thing about any of the other characters is that the eldest of Joseph's brothers is voiced by Mark Hamill... who's so subdued that I didn't realize it was him until I checked imdb after watching; yeah, despite playing an antagonistic role they never had him going full Joker or Firelord, which feels like a huge waste of the casting. The plot has a sluggish, meandering pace that seems to skip over large chunks of time at random, making it feel like we missed large parts of the story. And compared to Prince of Egypt presenting the story of Exodus with no sugarcoating whatsoever, this one pointedly does downplay the darker elements significantly, making it feel less like a classical Hollywood Biblical epic and more like some cheap VHS you'd see a Sunday school teacher plop on to keep the kids quiet for a bit. The songs are all bland and forgettable, not a single one feeling like it fits in the story and is just there to be there. The whole thing is a rather boring and unmemorable experience, making its obscurity quite understandable. Next time, though, will certainly make up for it, as it's the one I bet everyone has been waiting for. Because Once Upon a Time, in a faraway land, there lived a princess... and an ogre...

I'm going to say it outiright: Shrek doesn't deserve just memes and lampooning, not the first film... because you know what?

This scene... this scene... is sheer magic, I shit you not. This formulative scene, part of a very formulative movie, helped to broaden my mind on what was actually possible with cinematic storytelling.

Ah, Shrek. A franchise that has some really high highs yet also really low lows.. The first film definitely holds up though.

Even the first Puss in Boots had that twist villain reveal that was ahead of its time in taking the piss out of the trope in a hilarious way.

I think the first Puss in Boots movie is actually good though. Shrek the Third is the only film in the series I consider bad (or at the very least, mediocre).
