After DreamWorks Split, Aardman Animation Hooks Up with Sony
Summary
Big fan of the Aardman Animation flicks? Well, you are if you dug "Chicken Run," "Flushed Away," and "Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit." Unfortunately those last two flicks didn't make enough money to keep DreamWorks happy, which is why Aardman now has a new home at Sony. Back to Article

on Apr 03 2007 06:54 AM In reply to this comment (#860028) aardman sell plenty in other countries and on dvd to make money on each project. maybe the price of the company was too high. anyways, strange to see dreamworks losing a critically acclaimed studio due to dissapointing figures in the USA. if i remeber correctly Dreamworks was started as an awnser to the big hollywood studio's that focused on economics rather than quality of a movie. it proves again: averybody has his price. name me one company or writer or director that keeps his intergrity (???, sorry for my spelling) (Reply to this) |

on Apr 03 2007 08:13 AM In reply to this comment (#860029) I remember that claim when Spielberg made it, but the second movie to be released by Dreamworks was that awful Clooney-Kidman movie "The Peacemaker", so obviously they always cared more about money over substance. Which in the end is understandable, you can't have one daring big-budget movie unless you release a few cheesy commercial ones to go with it. (Reply to this) |

on Apr 03 2007 03:25 PM this is the same studio that made "Mouse Hunt", so no surprises. Better Sony than Disney. (Reply to this) |
on Apr 03 2007 07:50 PM In reply to this comment (#860029) The people at Dreamworks Animation are Nazis, you know? I mean, they're recent CGI movies all seem to have the same content (popular culture humor, toilet humor, dirty jokes only adults would understand, etc). Anyway, I'm glad Aardman Animation will continue releasing movies in the US through Sony. My family are suckers for their films. (Reply to this) |

on Apr 05 2007 12:36 PM Though I havn't seen flushed away yet through the Quality of Chicken Run and Wallace and Grommit films, as well as the TV shows (W+G, Creature Comforts, Shaun the Sheep etc) I am really happy that their carrying on :) (Reply to this) |
