I know most people have heard speculation, but I just grabbed this little note off of www.darkhorizons.com, it was posted today. Animated Movies: Some interesting deveopments in the toon community in the past week or so according to Animated Movies. Most notably, Dreamworks head of animation Ann Daly admitted that the studio was "extremely disappointed" with the performance of "Sinbad" at the U.S. box office, and confirmed that it would be the studio's last traditionally drawn film - "I think the idea of a traditional story being told using traditional animation is likely a thing of the past" says Jeffrey Kaztenberg. Pixar's "The Incredibles" has got a rumoured cast including Craig T. Nelson as Mr. Incredible, Samuel L. Jackson as his nemesis, Jason Lee, Holly Hunter and Wallace Shawn. Disney's David Stainton confirmed that he has teams developing CG adaptations of both classic fantasy tales "Rapunzel" and "The Snow Queen". Finally, "Simpsons" creator Matt Groening is trying to come up with ways to produce new episodes of the cancelled "Futurama" as well as a movie trilogy based on the series. Thanks to 'Antoine'.

In addition to the movies, I thought it would be cool if instead of being shown on television, just make the shows made for DVD/VHS. The sales of the DVDs have been wonderful, and I think that trend would continue. That is, if there isn't a way to get the show back on TV.

Why doesn't Greoning try to get the Futurama movies funded by Dreamworks? I know they don't want to release anymore traditionaly drawn animated films, but Futurama relies heavily on CGI, and it's already an established, liked, show. So it's less of a risk for Dreamworks. I think the reason that many of Dreamworks traditonal animated films fail is because people simply don't like the new characters that are featured in them. Many of their movies are slightly outdated, and too bible-related (The Prince of Egypt). Kids just don't want to see these films, even if they are well made! Futurama has a much wider appeal.

If there was a futurama movie, it would have to be 20th Century Fox behind it, they wouldnt give up their film rights to it easily, and buying the rights wouldnt come cheap
