dreamworksland : everyday i'm shufflin'.

ah, dreamworks is on quite a high from its amazing weekend box office, both domestic and internationally, grossing $135.9 million worldwide it's opening weekend:
Family animated tentpole Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted landed at the top of the domestic box office with a stand-out $60.4 million opening, besting the $50 million scored by Ridley Scott's sci-fi epic Prometheus.

The DreamWorks Animation and Paramount threequel also ruled overseas -- where competition was fierce -- grossing a stellar $75.5 million from 28 markets for a worldwide opening of $135.9 million.

and this morning comes the announcement that my current project, me and my shadow, has been pushed back, or rather, swapped with mr. peabody and sherman for the spring 2014 slot (as well as peabody voice casting if you're interested).

DreamWorks Animation is so high on Mr. Peabody it is pushing up the release of the film from March 14, 2014 to Nov. 8, 2013. The movie swaps places with the studio's Me & My Shadow, another high-profile project that is a combination of CGI and hand-drawn animation.

not going to lie, i'm rather relieved we're going to have a few extra months to work on the film. writing a new pipeline to integrate a really old pipeline (2d animation) to the current cg pipeline is no easy feat.
