Here we go again...

Of course, I really like Angie.

As I've said before if ANY of those are considered "strong female lead characters" then Pixar has just as many!

Um, let's see.

Pixar: Seven movies so far.

Dreamworks: 12 films so far, with another on the way in less than two weeks.

Now, I know that wasn't fair. But, hey, DreamWorks has "More" if we look at it that way.

Are we counting films or strong female leads?

Quality over quanity

"Eh", I guess it's all subjective anyway.

I will say that I really liked Atta in A Bug's Life. Also Dot.

Also, I guess you can say that Edna Mode was a "career woman"!

Anyone who doesn't think a woman can be a strong character as a house wife without a "real career" has obviously never had kids!

Pixar, DW, Bluesky, etc. better get crackin'. I wanna see some girl power, darn it! (Elastigirl rocks, though.)
What about princess Fiona, Gloria the Hippo, Stella the Skunk, or Angie from Shark Tale?

Apart from Fiona, the others are only supporting characters, I'm much more impressed by a Jesse, Atta, Boo or Elastigirl than any of those critters...

Boo?!?!

C'mon, now, Boo's only two or three years old!

Are we counting films or strong female leads?

You pick.

My point was that DreamWorks has more films than Pixar, so, of course, they have more female leads than they do. Whether or not they're "Strong" is a matter of opinion.

And, as I said earlier, my point wasn't fairly made at all.

She's only 3 years old yet she convey WAY MORE feelings and reactions than a lame Dreamworks female sidekicks. The only female characters in Dreamworks that can be called strong characters would be the 3 girls from the traditionnal features: Prince of Egypt, ElDorado and Sinbad.

Just to clear things up, I wasn't talking about strong females in general in CGI movies - I was talking about strong female leads. Again, the only 3D flick I can remember that has a female main character is Hoodwinked.

And please, please, people, let's not turn this into ANOTHER Pixar vs DW thread?

Oh, thanks for clearing that up Meg

I agree, Hoodwinked showcased Riding Hood as a great female lead

Eh.....every forum I'm on there's always a vs + vs thread. I've gottan rather immune to them

To me, they both have their redeeming qualities, but Disney will always be my favorite

There are apparently no girls in Ratatouille.

Well, at least that means we won't have do deal with some cheesy Pixar romance...
