Re: DreamWorks Animation Films

Saw Rise of the Guardians earlier. I hadn't heard much about it, but I liked the art direction and character design. My girlfriend and I liked it, though it was a pretty typical film. Seemed to borrow a lot from other properties. The villain reminded me of Loki from the Avengers while Santa's elves ...

Sleeper Scale (Fanfic)

This is a story I was working on some time ago, but only just now decided to open up the document and give it a final few sentences to finish it up. Figured it was too good a concept to just leave unread. As with my other stories, I would like to have several follow-up chapters exploring this charac...

Re: Who Censored Roger Rabbit? - Novel/Film Discussion

Personally, this universe feels like one that doesn't necessarily need the Valiant character to have a story to tell. I don't feel that Hoskins is absolutely inherent to a sequel or new story as much as, say, Murray would be for a Ghostbusters sequel. If the talent is right and the animation up-to-p...

Depends on how you define "family."

Really, how was this Daniel Boone a "relative" of Hopper? He could be a brother, cousin, nephew or anything else. It would also be nice to know if Boone's sister is your aunt, cousin, niece or whatever else and if she is Daniel's blood sibling.
