But finally DreamWorks has come through and given us an official first look at the film and its characters.\r\n\r\nAccording to the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/family-room.ew.com\/2012\/08\/31\/first-look-the-croods\/\">EW<\/a>\u00a0exclusive,\u00a0<em>The Croods <\/em>(directed by <strong>Chris Sanders<\/strong>)\u00a0details a clan of prehistoric homosapians who become nomads after a continental drift (no, not <em>that<\/em> type of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/news\/tag\/ice-age-continental-drift\">Continental Drift<\/a>) crashes into their cave. As the family is wandering across the new landscapes, the parents\u2014Grug and Ugga\u2014become horrified when their daughter\u2014Eep\u2014falls in love with a newly met fire-starter human, Guy.\r\n\r\nThe story focuses on how families stick together during hard times. The \u201cdaughter falling in love with someone forbidden\u201d is a plot element that we\u2019ve seen before, most recently in the upcoming <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/news\/tag\/hotel-transylvania\"><em>Hotel Transylvania<\/em><\/a>. It\u2019ll be interesting to see what spin DreamWorks puts on the film.\r\n\r\nAlso, detailed description of <em>The Croods<\/em> family and main characters was given:\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li>Grug (<strong>Nicolas Cage<\/strong>): The overprotective dad of the clan, based on \u201chopelessly outdated cinematic dads such\u00a0as Steve Martin in\u00a0<em>Father of the Bride<\/em>\u00a0or Spencer Tracy in\u00a0<em>Guess Who\u2019s Coming to Dinner<\/em>.\u201d<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Eep (<strong>Emma Stone<\/strong>): The adventurous, cave-hating daughter who is excited to try new things and explore new places.<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Ugga (<strong>Catherine Keener<\/strong>): The open-minded mom whose tries to balance keeping her family safe while giving them the freedom they desire.<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Sandy the baby: Refered to as the \u201chalf Tasmanian devil and half child\u201d by Sanders. She\u2019s a biter and ferocious.<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Gran (<strong>Cloris Leachman<\/strong>): The super old grandma of the bunch; and by old, we mean 45. She butts heads with her son-in-law.<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Thunk (<strong>Clark Duke<\/strong>): The 6\u20199\u201d, 320 pound middle child, who is clumsy but caring. He wants nothing else than to be like his big sis and dad.<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Guy (<strong>Ryan Reynolds<\/strong>): A more advanced human being than the Croods, who uses his brain rather than his brawn. He gets kidnapped by the Croods when they realize that he can make fire.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nOriginally in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/3\">Episode 3<\/a>, we called <em>The Croods<\/em>\u2019 character design \u201cgeneric.\u201d But after seeing these stills and reading more of the plot summary, this film could have a lot of potential. The film has everything you need in a good story: a struggling family, a forbidden love story and, of course, a prehistoric setting. Ok, maybe the last one\u2019s a stretch, but it will still be fun to see a film about a Flinstones era family.\r\n\r\nEW also released photos of the entire Crood family, along with some character posters of Guy.

Each screening will feature Q&A with the filmmakers, rare never-before-seen and bonus material and giveaways.\r\n\r\nThe festivities will begin on Wednesday, September 5 with a showing of its first release, 2006\u2019s\u00a0<em>Open Season<\/em>. Screenings of its other films\u2014<em>Surf\u2019s Up<\/em>,\u00a0<em>Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs<\/em>, <em>The Smurfs<\/em>\u00a0and <em>Hotel Translyvania<\/em>\u2014will subsequently be held each week thereafter on Thursday.\r\n\r\nFor a fan of animation, this will definitley be an delightful event. Being able to watch a screening of the film is great. But then to spend time with the filmmakers delving deep into the film while watching behind-the-scenes footage is even better!

But finally DreamWorks has come through and given us an official first look at the film and its characters.\r\n\r\nAccording to the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/family-room.ew.com\/2012\/08\/31\/first-look-the-croods\/\">EW<\/a>\u00a0exclusive,\u00a0<em>The Croods <\/em>(directed by <strong>Chris Sanders<\/strong>)\u00a0details a clan of prehistoric homosapians who become nomads after a continental drift (no, not <em>that<\/em> type of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/news\/tag\/ice-age-continental-drift\">Continental Drift<\/a>) crashes into their cave. As the family is wandering across the new landscapes, the parents\u2014Grug and Ugga\u2014become horrified when their daughter\u2014Eep\u2014falls in love with a newly met fire-starter human, Guy.\r\n\r\nThe story focuses on how families stick together during hard times. The \u201cdaughter falling in love with someone forbidden\u201d is a plot element that we\u2019ve seen before, most recently in the upcoming <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/news\/tag\/hotel-transylvania\"><em>Hotel Transylvania<\/em><\/a>. It\u2019ll be interesting to see what spin DreamWorks puts on the film.\r\n\r\nAlso, detailed description of <em>The Croods<\/em> family and main characters was given:\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li>Grug (<strong>Nicolas Cage<\/strong>): The overprotective dad of the clan, based on \u201chopelessly outdated cinematic dads such\u00a0as Steve Martin in\u00a0<em>Father of the Bride<\/em>\u00a0or Spencer Tracy in\u00a0<em>Guess Who\u2019s Coming to Dinner<\/em>.\u201d<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Eep (<strong>Emma Stone<\/strong>): The adventurous, cave-hating daughter who is excited to try new things and explore new places.<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Ugga (<strong>Catherine Keener<\/strong>): The open-minded mom whose tries to balance keeping her family safe while giving them the freedom they desire.<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Sandy the baby: Refered to as the \u201chalf Tasmanian devil and half child\u201d by Sanders. She\u2019s a biter and ferocious.<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Gran (<strong>Cloris Leachman<\/strong>): The super old grandma of the bunch; and by old, we mean 45. She butts heads with her son-in-law.<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Thunk (<strong>Clark Duke<\/strong>): The 6\u20199\u201d, 320 pound middle child, who is clumsy but caring. He wants nothing else than to be like his big sis and dad.<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Guy (<strong>Ryan Reynolds<\/strong>): A more advanced human being than the Croods, who uses his brain rather than his brawn. He gets kidnapped by the Croods when they realize that he can make fire.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nOriginally in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/3\">Episode 3<\/a>, we called <em>The Croods<\/em>\u2019 character design \u201cgeneric.\u201d But after seeing these stills and reading more of the plot summary, this film could have a lot of potential. The film has everything you need in a good story: a struggling family, a forbidden love story and, of course, a prehistoric setting. Ok, maybe the last one\u2019s a stretch, but it will still be fun to see a film about a Flinstones era family.\r\n\r\nEW also released photos of the entire Crood family, along with some character posters of Guy.

Yes,\u00a0<em>Nemo<\/em>\u00a0was funny, beautifully animated and essentially flawless, but I just didn\u2019t think it was\u00a0<em>that<\/em>\u00a0great.\r\n\r\nWell, I can gratefully say that after seeing\u00a0<em>Finding Nemo 3D<\/em>, my original thoughts and opinions have changed.\r\n\r\n<em>Finding Nemo<\/em>\u00a0is one of Pixar\u2019s greatest masterpieces.\r\n\r\nThe film follows the story of an overly protective father clownfish, Marlin, and his son, Nemo. As Nemo starts his first day of school, he ventures out into dangerous deep waters and gets himself caught by a scuba diver. Marlin begins on a frantic (and seemingly hopeless) search to rescue Nemo, while encountering many different friends and foes along the way: a blue tang named Dory who suffers from short-term memory loss, a trio of sharks, thousands of jellyfish, sea turtles and a lot more sea creatures.\r\n\r\nThe story moves relatively quickly and feels slightly episodic, especially as Marlin and Dory (his new tagalong) jump from danger to danger. While detrimental to most films, the episodic storytelling completely works. We encounter tons of new characters, but surprisingly it\u2019s not overwhelming. Each character appropriately has the right amount of screen time, while still making you fall in love with them. (For example, Crush the seaturtle is particularly endearing.)\r\n\r\nOne thing that really stood out to me this time around was\u00a0<em>Finding Nemo<\/em>\u2019s humor. Pixar always does a terrific job at establishing appropriately humorous undertones in its films, but\u00a0<em>Nemo<\/em>\u00a0stands out. Humor is one of the driving forces of the film, which is displayed in the beginning when we realize that Marlin, a clownfish, really isn\u2019t all that funny (thankfully for the audience, everything else around him is). He\u2019s quickly juxtaposed with Dory, who at first seems like your typical comic-relief side character. Cut scenes and background characters add quick comedic moments that keep a smile on your face the entire time.\u00a0Whether its explicit jokes or quick blink-and-you-miss moments, the jokes in this movie are numerous and enriching.\r\n\r\nThe 3D conversion for\u00a0<em>Nemo<\/em>\u00a0was breathtaking. John Lasseter said in the a\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/youtu.be\/01MMviWlI_o\">promo featurette<\/a>\u00a0that \u201c<em>Finding Nemo<\/em>\u00a0is the perfect movie in 3D\u201d, particularly because of the \u201cparticulate matter\u201d that floats around the viewer in every scene. I personally feel that computer animation is a match made in heaven for 3D. \u00a0Everything in the film was crisp and detailed: I was particularly amazed by all the fishes\u2019 textures, especially Marlins\u2019 pearlescent scales. I\u00a0<em>never\u00a0<\/em>noticed these small details before and loved discovering what every nook and cranny of this deep-sea world had to offer.\r\n\r\nI think I may have been too hard on Pixar back in 2003 when I first saw this film.\u00a0<em>Finding Nemo<\/em>\u00a0can really do no wrong. I was laughing throughout the film, while still getting caught up in the emotional moments. This is a movie I can watch over and over again and love it\u00a0everytime. What really was a testament for this movie\u2019s legacy was that in my screening the entire audience gave a raptuous applause during the credits. I feel the same way. Bravo, Pixar!\r\n\r\n\u2605\u2605\u2605\u2605\u2605\r\n\r\nMorgan Stradling\r\n<a class=\"twitter-follow-button\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MorganStradling\">Follow @MorganStradling<\/a> <img id=\"editor-script-1\" alt=\"\" src=\"\/universal\/images\/manager\/wysiwyg-script.png\" \/>\r\n\r\n \r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[youtube=http:\/\/youtu.be\/Zgj_4B7tBOY]<\/p>","post_title":"'Finding Nemo 3D' Takes One of Pixar's Greatest Masterpieces to New Depths","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"finding-nemo-3d-takes-one-of-pixars-greatest-masterpieces-to-new-depths-2","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2013-09-25 17:26:06","post_modified_gmt":"2013-09-26 00:26:06","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/2012\/09\/09\/finding-nemo-3d-takes-one-of-pixars-greatest-masterpieces-to-new-depths-2\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":130,"post_author":"4","post_date":"2012-09-07 03:29:27","post_date_gmt":"2012-09-07 03:29:27","post_content":"<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Sony-Pictures-Animation-Official-Logo.jpeg\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-289 alignright\" alt=\"Sony-Pictures-Animation-Official-Logo\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Sony-Pictures-Animation-Official-Logo.jpeg\" width=\"320\" height=\"162\" \/><\/a>Here\u2019s a quick newstory: apparently Sony Pictures Animation has obtained the rights to the action-animated film <em>Ninja vs. Samurai.<\/em>\r\n\r\nAccording to <a style=\"font-style: italic;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.itsonthegrid.com\/news\/sold-film-rights-ninja-vs-samurai-goes-to-sony-pictures-animation\/\">ItsontheGrid<\/a>, Adam F.

It\u2019ll be interesting to see what spin DreamWorks puts on the film.\r\n\r\nAlso, detailed description of <em>The Croods<\/em> family and main characters was given:\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li>Grug (<strong>Nicolas Cage<\/strong>): The overprotective dad of the clan, based on \u201chopelessly outdated cinematic dads such\u00a0as Steve Martin in\u00a0<em>Father of the Bride<\/em>\u00a0or Spencer Tracy in\u00a0<em>Guess Who\u2019s Coming to Dinner<\/em>.\u201d<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Eep (<strong>Emma Stone<\/strong>): The adventurous, cave-hating daughter who is excited to try new things and explore new places.<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Ugga (<strong>Catherine Keener<\/strong>): The open-minded mom whose tries to balance keeping her family safe while giving them the freedom they desire.<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Sandy the baby: Refered to as the \u201chalf Tasmanian devil and half child\u201d by Sanders. She\u2019s a biter and ferocious.<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Gran (<strong>Cloris Leachman<\/strong>): The super old grandma of the bunch; and by old, we mean 45. She butts heads with her son-in-law.<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Thunk (<strong>Clark Duke<\/strong>): The 6\u20199\u201d, 320 pound middle child, who is clumsy but caring. He wants nothing else than to be like his big sis and dad.<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Guy (<strong>Ryan Reynolds<\/strong>): A more advanced human being than the Croods, who uses his brain rather than his brawn. He gets kidnapped by the Croods when they realize that he can make fire.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nOriginally in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/3\">Episode 3<\/a>, we called <em>The Croods<\/em>\u2019 character design \u201cgeneric.\u201d But after seeing these stills and reading more of the plot summary, this film could have a lot of potential. The film has everything you need in a good story: a struggling family, a forbidden love story and, of course, a prehistoric setting. Ok, maybe the last one\u2019s a stretch, but it will still be fun to see a film about a Flinstones era family.\r\n\r\nEW also released photos of the entire Crood family, along with some character posters of Guy. Check them out below!\r\n\r\n<em>The Croods<\/em> hits theatres March 22, 2013.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/The-Croods-DreamWorks-Famly.jpeg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-287\" alt=\"The-Croods-DreamWorks-Famly\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/The-Croods-DreamWorks-Famly-300x127.jpeg\" width=\"300\" height=\"127\" \/><\/a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/The-Croods-Crood-Guy.png\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-283\" alt=\"The-Croods-Crood-Guy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/The-Croods-Crood-Guy-300x231.png\" width=\"300\" height=\"231\" \/><\/a>","post_title":"First Look at 'The Croods' Characters & Story","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"first-look-at-the-croods-characters-story","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2013-05-09 07:44:50","post_modified_gmt":"2013-05-09 14:44:50","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/2012\/08\/31\/first-look-at-the-croods-characters-story\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"1","filter":"raw"},{"ID":126,"post_author":"4","post_date":"2012-08-30 21:43:07","post_date_gmt":"2012-08-30 21:43:07","post_content":"<p style=\"color: #222222;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/20th-Century-Fox-DreamWorks-Animation.jpeg\"><img class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-284\" alt=\"20th-Century-Fox-DreamWorks-Animation\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/20th-Century-Fox-DreamWorks-Animation-300x212.jpeg\" width=\"300\" height=\"212\" \/><\/a>Last week it was\u00a0<a style=\"color: #1155cc;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.businessweek.com\/news\/2012-08-21\/dreamworks-animation-rises-on-fox-film-accord-los-angeles-mover\" target=\"_blank\">announced<\/a>\u00a0that DreamWorks Animation had struck a new distribution deal with\u00a0Twentieth Century Fox, which will takeover after DreamWorks\u2019 current contract with\u00a0Paramount Pictures runs out with November\u2019s\u00a0<em>Rise of the Guardians<\/em>.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"color: #222222;\">The partnership will span the next five years and Twentieth Century Fox will receive an 8 percent distribution fee for handing DreamWorks\u2019 theatrical, home media and international television releases.

Each screening will feature Q&A with the filmmakers, rare never-before-seen and bonus material and giveaways.\r\n\r\nThe festivities will begin on Wednesday, September 5 with a showing of its first release, 2006\u2019s\u00a0<em>Open Season<\/em>. Screenings of its other films\u2014<em>Surf\u2019s Up<\/em>,\u00a0<em>Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs<\/em>, <em>The Smurfs<\/em>\u00a0and <em>Hotel Translyvania<\/em>\u2014will subsequently be held each week thereafter on Thursday.\r\n\r\nFor a fan of animation, this will definitley be an delightful event. Being able to watch a screening of the film is great. But then to spend time with the filmmakers delving deep into the film while watching behind-the-scenes footage is even better!

But finally DreamWorks has come through and given us an official first look at the film and its characters.\r\n\r\nAccording to the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/family-room.ew.com\/2012\/08\/31\/first-look-the-croods\/\">EW<\/a>\u00a0exclusive,\u00a0<em>The Croods <\/em>(directed by <strong>Chris Sanders<\/strong>)\u00a0details a clan of prehistoric homosapians who become nomads after a continental drift (no, not <em>that<\/em> type of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/news\/tag\/ice-age-continental-drift\">Continental Drift<\/a>) crashes into their cave. As the family is wandering across the new landscapes, the parents\u2014Grug and Ugga\u2014become horrified when their daughter\u2014Eep\u2014falls in love with a newly met fire-starter human, Guy.\r\n\r\nThe story focuses on how families stick together during hard times. The \u201cdaughter falling in love with someone forbidden\u201d is a plot element that we\u2019ve seen before, most recently in the upcoming <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/news\/tag\/hotel-transylvania\"><em>Hotel Transylvania<\/em><\/a>. It\u2019ll be interesting to see what spin DreamWorks puts on the film.\r\n\r\nAlso, detailed description of <em>The Croods<\/em> family and main characters was given:\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li>Grug (<strong>Nicolas Cage<\/strong>): The overprotective dad of the clan, based on \u201chopelessly outdated cinematic dads such\u00a0as Steve Martin in\u00a0<em>Father of the Bride<\/em>\u00a0or Spencer Tracy in\u00a0<em>Guess Who\u2019s Coming to Dinner<\/em>.\u201d<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Eep (<strong>Emma Stone<\/strong>): The adventurous, cave-hating daughter who is excited to try new things and explore new places.<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Ugga (<strong>Catherine Keener<\/strong>): The open-minded mom whose tries to balance keeping her family safe while giving them the freedom they desire.<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Sandy the baby: Refered to as the \u201chalf Tasmanian devil and half child\u201d by Sanders. She\u2019s a biter and ferocious.<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Gran (<strong>Cloris Leachman<\/strong>): The super old grandma of the bunch; and by old, we mean 45. She butts heads with her son-in-law.<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Thunk (<strong>Clark Duke<\/strong>): The 6\u20199\u201d, 320 pound middle child, who is clumsy but caring. He wants nothing else than to be like his big sis and dad.<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Guy (<strong>Ryan Reynolds<\/strong>): A more advanced human being than the Croods, who uses his brain rather than his brawn. He gets kidnapped by the Croods when they realize that he can make fire.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nOriginally in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/3\">Episode 3<\/a>, we called <em>The Croods<\/em>\u2019 character design \u201cgeneric.\u201d But after seeing these stills and reading more of the plot summary, this film could have a lot of potential. The film has everything you need in a good story: a struggling family, a forbidden love story and, of course, a prehistoric setting. Ok, maybe the last one\u2019s a stretch, but it will still be fun to see a film about a Flinstones era family.\r\n\r\nEW also released photos of the entire Crood family, along with some character posters of Guy.

Each screening will feature Q&A with the filmmakers, rare never-before-seen and bonus material and giveaways.\r\n\r\nThe festivities will begin on Wednesday, September 5 with a showing of its first release, 2006\u2019s\u00a0<em>Open Season<\/em>.

Being able to watch a screening of the film is great. But then to spend time with the filmmakers delving deep into the film while watching behind-the-scenes footage is even better!

But finally DreamWorks has come through and given us an official first look at the film and its characters.\r\n\r\nAccording to the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/family-room.ew.com\/2012\/08\/31\/first-look-the-croods\/\">EW<\/a>\u00a0exclusive,\u00a0<em>The Croods <\/em>(directed by <strong>Chris Sanders<\/strong>)\u00a0details a clan of prehistoric homosapians who become nomads after a continental drift (no, not <em>that<\/em> type of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/news\/tag\/ice-age-continental-drift\">Continental Drift<\/a>) crashes into their cave. As the family is wandering across the new landscapes, the parents\u2014Grug and Ugga\u2014become horrified when their daughter\u2014Eep\u2014falls in love with a newly met fire-starter human, Guy.\r\n\r\nThe story focuses on how families stick together during hard times. The \u201cdaughter falling in love with someone forbidden\u201d is a plot element that we\u2019ve seen before, most recently in the upcoming <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/news\/tag\/hotel-transylvania\"><em>Hotel Transylvania<\/em><\/a>. It\u2019ll be interesting to see what spin DreamWorks puts on the film.\r\n\r\nAlso, detailed description of <em>The Croods<\/em> family and main characters was given:\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li>Grug (<strong>Nicolas Cage<\/strong>): The overprotective dad of the clan, based on \u201chopelessly outdated cinematic dads such\u00a0as Steve Martin in\u00a0<em>Father of the Bride<\/em>\u00a0or Spencer Tracy in\u00a0<em>Guess Who\u2019s Coming to Dinner<\/em>.\u201d<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Eep (<strong>Emma Stone<\/strong>): The adventurous, cave-hating daughter who is excited to try new things and explore new places.<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Ugga (<strong>Catherine Keener<\/strong>): The open-minded mom whose tries to balance keeping her family safe while giving them the freedom they desire.<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Sandy the baby: Refered to as the \u201chalf Tasmanian devil and half child\u201d by Sanders. She\u2019s a biter and ferocious.<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Gran (<strong>Cloris Leachman<\/strong>): The super old grandma of the bunch; and by old, we mean 45. She butts heads with her son-in-law.<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Thunk (<strong>Clark Duke<\/strong>): The 6\u20199\u201d, 320 pound middle child, who is clumsy but caring. He wants nothing else than to be like his big sis and dad.<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Guy (<strong>Ryan Reynolds<\/strong>): A more advanced human being than the Croods, who uses his brain rather than his brawn. He gets kidnapped by the Croods when they realize that he can make fire.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nOriginally in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/3\">Episode 3<\/a>, we called <em>The Croods<\/em>\u2019 character design \u201cgeneric.\u201d But after seeing these stills and reading more of the plot summary, this film could have a lot of potential. The film has everything you need in a good story: a struggling family, a forbidden love story and, of course, a prehistoric setting. Ok, maybe the last one\u2019s a stretch, but it will still be fun to see a film about a Flinstones era family.\r\n\r\nEW also released photos of the entire Crood family, along with some character posters of Guy.

Yes,\u00a0<em>Nemo<\/em>\u00a0was funny, beautifully animated and essentially flawless, but I just didn\u2019t think it was\u00a0<em>that<\/em>\u00a0great.\r\n\r\nWell, I can gratefully say that after seeing\u00a0<em>Finding Nemo 3D<\/em>, my original thoughts and opinions have changed.\r\n\r\n<em>Finding Nemo<\/em>\u00a0is one of Pixar\u2019s greatest masterpieces.\r\n\r\nThe film follows the story of an overly protective father clownfish, Marlin, and his son, Nemo. As Nemo starts his first day of school, he ventures out into dangerous deep waters and gets himself caught by a scuba diver. Marlin begins on a frantic (and seemingly hopeless) search to rescue Nemo, while encountering many different friends and foes along the way: a blue tang named Dory who suffers from short-term memory loss, a trio of sharks, thousands of jellyfish, sea turtles and a lot more sea creatures.\r\n\r\nThe story moves relatively quickly and feels slightly episodic, especially as Marlin and Dory (his new tagalong) jump from danger to danger. While detrimental to most films, the episodic storytelling completely works. We encounter tons of new characters, but surprisingly it\u2019s not overwhelming. Each character appropriately has the right amount of screen time, while still making you fall in love with them. (For example, Crush the seaturtle is particularly endearing.)\r\n\r\nOne thing that really stood out to me this time around was\u00a0<em>Finding Nemo<\/em>\u2019s humor. Pixar always does a terrific job at establishing appropriately humorous undertones in its films, but\u00a0<em>Nemo<\/em>\u00a0stands out. Humor is one of the driving forces of the film, which is displayed in the beginning when we realize that Marlin, a clownfish, really isn\u2019t all that funny (thankfully for the audience, everything else around him is). He\u2019s quickly juxtaposed with Dory, who at first seems like your typical comic-relief side character. Cut scenes and background characters add quick comedic moments that keep a smile on your face the entire time.\u00a0Whether its explicit jokes or quick blink-and-you-miss moments, the jokes in this movie are numerous and enriching.\r\n\r\nThe 3D conversion for\u00a0<em>Nemo<\/em>\u00a0was breathtaking. John Lasseter said in the a\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/youtu.be\/01MMviWlI_o\">promo featurette<\/a>\u00a0that \u201c<em>Finding Nemo<\/em>\u00a0is the perfect movie in 3D\u201d, particularly because of the \u201cparticulate matter\u201d that floats around the viewer in every scene. I personally feel that computer animation is a match made in heaven for 3D. \u00a0Everything in the film was crisp and detailed: I was particularly amazed by all the fishes\u2019 textures, especially Marlins\u2019 pearlescent scales. I\u00a0<em>never\u00a0<\/em>noticed these small details before and loved discovering what every nook and cranny of this deep-sea world had to offer.\r\n\r\nI think I may have been too hard on Pixar back in 2003 when I first saw this film.\u00a0<em>Finding Nemo<\/em>\u00a0can really do no wrong. I was laughing throughout the film, while still getting caught up in the emotional moments. This is a movie I can watch over and over again and love it\u00a0everytime. What really was a testament for this movie\u2019s legacy was that in my screening the entire audience gave a raptuous applause during the credits. I feel the same way. Bravo, Pixar!\r\n\r\n\u2605\u2605\u2605\u2605\u2605\r\n\r\nMorgan Stradling\r\n<a class=\"twitter-follow-button\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MorganStradling\">Follow @MorganStradling<\/a> <img id=\"editor-script-1\" alt=\"\" src=\"\/universal\/images\/manager\/wysiwyg-script.png\" \/>\r\n\r\n \r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[youtube=http:\/\/youtu.be\/Zgj_4B7tBOY]<\/p>","post_title":"'Finding Nemo 3D' Takes One of Pixar's Greatest Masterpieces to New Depths","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"finding-nemo-3d-takes-one-of-pixars-greatest-masterpieces-to-new-depths-2","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2013-09-25 17:26:06","post_modified_gmt":"2013-09-26 00:26:06","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/2012\/09\/09\/finding-nemo-3d-takes-one-of-pixars-greatest-masterpieces-to-new-depths-2\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":130,"post_author":"4","post_date":"2012-09-07 03:29:27","post_date_gmt":"2012-09-07 03:29:27","post_content":"<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Sony-Pictures-Animation-Official-Logo.jpeg\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-289 alignright\" alt=\"Sony-Pictures-Animation-Official-Logo\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Sony-Pictures-Animation-Official-Logo.jpeg\" width=\"320\" height=\"162\" \/><\/a>Here\u2019s a quick newstory: apparently Sony Pictures Animation has obtained the rights to the action-animated film <em>Ninja vs. Samurai.<\/em>\r\n\r\nAccording to <a style=\"font-style: italic;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.itsonthegrid.com\/news\/sold-film-rights-ninja-vs-samurai-goes-to-sony-pictures-animation\/\">ItsontheGrid<\/a>, Adam F.

It\u2019ll be interesting to see what spin DreamWorks puts on the film.\r\n\r\nAlso, detailed description of <em>The Croods<\/em> family and main characters was given:\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li>Grug (<strong>Nicolas Cage<\/strong>): The overprotective dad of the clan, based on \u201chopelessly outdated cinematic dads such\u00a0as Steve Martin in\u00a0<em>Father of the Bride<\/em>\u00a0or Spencer Tracy in\u00a0<em>Guess Who\u2019s Coming to Dinner<\/em>.\u201d<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Eep (<strong>Emma Stone<\/strong>): The adventurous, cave-hating daughter who is excited to try new things and explore new places.<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Ugga (<strong>Catherine Keener<\/strong>): The open-minded mom whose tries to balance keeping her family safe while giving them the freedom they desire.<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Sandy the baby: Refered to as the \u201chalf Tasmanian devil and half child\u201d by Sanders. She\u2019s a biter and ferocious.<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Gran (<strong>Cloris Leachman<\/strong>): The super old grandma of the bunch; and by old, we mean 45. She butts heads with her son-in-law.<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Thunk (<strong>Clark Duke<\/strong>): The 6\u20199\u201d, 320 pound middle child, who is clumsy but caring. He wants nothing else than to be like his big sis and dad.<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Guy (<strong>Ryan Reynolds<\/strong>): A more advanced human being than the Croods, who uses his brain rather than his brawn. He gets kidnapped by the Croods when they realize that he can make fire.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nOriginally in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/3\">Episode 3<\/a>, we called <em>The Croods<\/em>\u2019 character design \u201cgeneric.\u201d But after seeing these stills and reading more of the plot summary, this film could have a lot of potential. The film has everything you need in a good story: a struggling family, a forbidden love story and, of course, a prehistoric setting. Ok, maybe the last one\u2019s a stretch, but it will still be fun to see a film about a Flinstones era family.\r\n\r\nEW also released photos of the entire Crood family, along with some character posters of Guy. Check them out below!\r\n\r\n<em>The Croods<\/em> hits theatres March 22, 2013.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/The-Croods-DreamWorks-Famly.jpeg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-287\" alt=\"The-Croods-DreamWorks-Famly\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/The-Croods-DreamWorks-Famly-300x127.jpeg\" width=\"300\" height=\"127\" \/><\/a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/The-Croods-Crood-Guy.png\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-283\" alt=\"The-Croods-Crood-Guy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/The-Croods-Crood-Guy-300x231.png\" width=\"300\" height=\"231\" \/><\/a>","post_title":"First Look at 'The Croods' Characters & Story","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"first-look-at-the-croods-characters-story","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2013-05-09 07:44:50","post_modified_gmt":"2013-05-09 14:44:50","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/2012\/08\/31\/first-look-at-the-croods-characters-story\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"1","filter":"raw"},{"ID":126,"post_author":"4","post_date":"2012-08-30 21:43:07","post_date_gmt":"2012-08-30 21:43:07","post_content":"<p style=\"color: #222222;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/20th-Century-Fox-DreamWorks-Animation.jpeg\"><img class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-284\" alt=\"20th-Century-Fox-DreamWorks-Animation\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/20th-Century-Fox-DreamWorks-Animation-300x212.jpeg\" width=\"300\" height=\"212\" \/><\/a>Last week it was\u00a0<a style=\"color: #1155cc;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.businessweek.com\/news\/2012-08-21\/dreamworks-animation-rises-on-fox-film-accord-los-angeles-mover\" target=\"_blank\">announced<\/a>\u00a0that DreamWorks Animation had struck a new distribution deal with\u00a0Twentieth Century Fox, which will takeover after DreamWorks\u2019 current contract with\u00a0Paramount Pictures runs out with November\u2019s\u00a0<em>Rise of the Guardians<\/em>.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"color: #222222;\">The partnership will span the next five years and Twentieth Century Fox will receive an 8 percent distribution fee for handing DreamWorks\u2019 theatrical, home media and international television releases.

Each screening will feature Q&A with the filmmakers, rare never-before-seen and bonus material and giveaways.\r\n\r\nThe festivities will begin on Wednesday, September 5 with a showing of its first release, 2006\u2019s\u00a0<em>Open Season<\/em>. Screenings of its other films\u2014<em>Surf\u2019s Up<\/em>,\u00a0<em>Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs<\/em>, <em>The Smurfs<\/em>\u00a0and <em>Hotel Translyvania<\/em>\u2014will subsequently be held each week thereafter on Thursday.\r\n\r\nFor a fan of animation, this will definitley be an delightful event. Being able to watch a screening of the film is great. But then to spend time with the filmmakers delving deep into the film while watching behind-the-scenes footage is even better!
