...at least according to animation historian and commentator Jerry Beck, on his blog.


I think the only stronger positive statement he could make is "Better than Miyazaki!" [Big Grin]

Seriously though, Jerry's been negative and derogatory towards much of Dreamworks' recent funny animal oriented output. I had thought it was probably funnier than the trailers made it out to be, but I didn't expect comparisons to a Brad Bird masterpiece.

Now I kinda -have- to see it, come June.

It doesn't look like it will be very good, but at least it's not Shrek 4.

I will be very very surprised if Kung Fu Panda has near the depth, intellgence, and drama of The Incredibles. The fact that he even dared make that comparison intrigues me though, and I did think it looked pretty funny from the trailers.

As intrigued as I am by the title, the one trailer I've seen didn't look funny at all

It looks funny (to me), but I doubt it's in quite the same league as Brad Bird's movies.

The trailer is cute, but it makes the movie look stupid. Now that it's somehow up there with the Incredibles, I'm not sure WHAT to do.
