2007 Animation Preview
Happily N'Ever After (Lions Gate/Vanguard ) – January 5th
Arthur and the Invisibles (Weinstein) – January 12th
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Warner) – March 23rd
Meet the Robinsons (Disney) - March 30th
Shrek the Third (Dreamworks) - May 18th
Surf's Up (Sony) - June 8th
Ratatouille (Disney/Pixar) - June 29th
The Simpsons Movie (Fox) - July 27th
Nightmare Before Christmas (Disney Digital 3D) - October 19
Bee Movie (Dreamworks) – November 2nd

Enchanted (Disney) – November 21st
Note: This list is only films, that have announced release dates, I do know there are a few more in production for next year. The general "2007" release date is a lot of time wrong, and can mean anything from early 2008, to this movie will never see the light of day.
Any feedback or input would be great, and I will update this list as things change.

For the most part, more so then movies like Scooby Doo or Garfield. The first 15 minutes should be animated, and probably the last 10 as well. Considing the plot involves cartoons coming to life in the real world, I would call it a specail kind of animated film.Wendy's Jane wrote:Um, does "Enchanted" really count as an animated movie?

My butt's in the seat for TMNT, but y'all knew that. And I think some of my animation buddies are looking forward to it, too. I don't think it'll be a flop, but it won't get anywhere near Pixar/Dreamworks numbers, unless it turns out to be 1) unexpectedly awesome and word spreads, or 2) the right thing at the right time. I've heard a lot of people (especially my age group, who grew up with the Turtles) talk about this one, and most I've talked to sound excited.
Oh, and Imagi is the studio doing TMNT, not Warner. They're just the distributors as far as I know.
I'll probably see Ratatouille, too... that one should do at least moderately well. It really depends on how it's marketed and how good it actually is. With Brad Bird directing, my hopes are high.
Meet the Robinsons looks interesting also... and I was floored at how EVEN MORE PENGUINS could still hold my interest in the Surf's Up trailer. That trailer was pretty well put together.
Dang, next year has the potential to be a good animation year. Here's hoping!

No offense to anyone who likes it, but I still don't understand how anyone can get excited about Happy Feet WITHOUT EVEN KNOWING THE PLOT! (Yeah, I know it's this year not next, but...)
Surf's Up looks exactly the same to me.
Sorry, it's just impression. The only Penguins I love are commando Penguins.

You can’t just have your characters announce how they feel! That makes me feel angry!

You have to admit Surf's Up set up more than Happy Feet, though.
I still don't know what to think of it, but all's I know is my first impression was better. Though it would have to be almost unfathomably awesome to beat the Madagascar penguins. That was one part of the movie I did like.

I thought the penguins were funny but I don't think they're complex enough characters to hold up their own movie very well...Again, I really like them, but some characters are just better secondary. Same goes to the Puss and Boots movie, but I could see that working.
Oh, and Bee Movie is looking more and more intersting.
