What doesn't this site offer?

Btw.. What color ipod do you have Vi?

It's just white. I wanted one of the brite pink ones they have now (or turquoise) but FYE didn't have those, just the older nanos that were white.

Maybe someday I'll get the pink one!

Anyway, I know you can buy a plastic cover that makes it look like it's a pink or blue one!

BTW thanks again James!

I downloaded some tracks I've been wanting for years and would have had to spend a fortune on if I bought all the CDs separately.

Like the piano end credits from ET, "When You're Alone" from Hook, "Here I Am" from Spirit, "Accidentally In Love" from Shrek 2, "If I didn't have you" from Monsters Inc, and two songs from Les Mis. Plus some other stuff I can't think of right now.

EDIT: Oh, some James Newton Howard stuff--"Malcom's Dead" from The Sixth Sense, and one from Lady In the Water (the music wasn't half bad, which improved the film immeasurably.) And the Christmas Carol from the Home Alone soundtrack--I think it's called "I Celebrate" and you hear it when Kevin is in the Church talking to the next door neighbor.

Phew!

Oh, I see. Aww, now it doesn't match your DS, j/k

The covers are cool, that's one way of cheating to get a pink one

My favorite song out of your music list was "Here I Am" from Spirit. I love that track!!

It really depends on the quality of the movie...It can range anywhere from $10 million to over $150 million, I think.

Now usually a film take like 4 years to make right? Well then I guess that means that PIXAR has to have several productions at once... I find it amazing how they can keep them a secret. While they do carefully craft each film do you think some films get better treatment than others? Like there has to be GREAT people working on one film while there are newbies working on another... hopefully someone can help me out.

You need a LOT of money to make an animated movie. Even the cheap ones are in the $5 million range.

Even the cheap ones are in the $5 million range.

Yeah, wasn't the budget for Miracle studios in the tens of thousands range?
All that for twelve minutes of animation? (and a few commercials)

Thanks for the replys but I would like to persue this a little further if I may?
if we are looking at telephone numbers for the production cost of an animated film what would be the approximate breakdown of costs?
The thing that stands out about the best animated features is the script for without a decent engine to drive it(script) then an animated film falls flatter than a pancake. So if it takes millions to make an animated film you better hope the guy writing the script use something more than a crayon.

I believe you're thinking of the UPN series Game Over.

By the way, welcome to the Animated News & Views Forum!

Post by **Daniel** » January 23rd, 2007, 3:52 pm

Yup, no doubt about it.

Sad, it was an alright show, but it only lasted one season.

And what Josh said, welcome to the boards!
