The movie version of the classic cartoon, Mr. Peabody and Sherman was beloved by critics and moviegoers when it hit theaters, even though DreamWorks was disappointed with the film’s $110.7 million box-office performance.
Based on characters who first appeared in the late 1950s and early 1960 animated TV show Rocky and His Friends and The Bullwinkle Show, Mr. Peabody and Sherman tells the story of an advanced dog, Mr. Peabody (voiced by Modern Family‘s Ty Burrell) and his adopted son Sherman (Max Charles, The Amazing Spider-Man 2). While on an adventure in their Wabac time machine, the pair accidentally cause a rift in time and must go on other adventures to fix it.
The cast also includes Allison Janney (Bad Words), Stephen Colbert (Company) and...

Alex Schwartz and Joe Khajadourian, better known as the production team The Futuristics, have had great success working with such artists as Flo Rida, The Game, and Chris Brown, but as they hinted to us at the Ascap Pop Awards last week, they’ve got even bigger things coming. Schwartz played coy when he talked about a song they have written with fun.’s Jack Antonoff. “The song that we did, we don’t want to say whose song it is, there’s a chance it will be coming out very soon,” Schwartz said. We managed to get a few more details out of him: “It’s a male song and it’s about running away, youth and rebelling.” He then added that the reason he was playing it cool was that they were still deciding which artist of those “circling around” the song would get it. With all their success,...

If I started to break into song whenever I got nervous, I would probably consider it a positive life development. For Alex Schwartz, the lead character in creator Ilya Polyakov's The Very Awkward Life Of Alex Schwartz, breaking into song is a musical hell. Schwartz sang his YouTube debut one month ago, but Polyakov is hoping to bring him back for several encores. The Los Angeles-based director has launched a Kickstarter campaign, hoping to raise $15,000 with which he can make seven more episodes of Alex Schwartz. Schwartz is played by Alex Lewis, an actor who nails all the right notes of his character's neurotic, depressed, edgy, and sensitive personality. The story tells us how, after a failed audition on an American Idol style reality show, Schwartz suffers from a form of musical Ptsd, where he starts singing and dancing anytime he gets remotely upset. I'm more impressed at how...

So, here's the basic premise for "Smuggle Truck," an iOS game that was intended to launch in March: You drive an old truck (its bed filled to the brim with illegal immigrants) across the desert, trying to cross though the American border. Unfortunately, the path is paved with dangerous hills, animals, and giant boulders. Each bump has the potential to throw your hapless passengers off the truck, in turn decreasing your score once you cross the border. Yes, it's pretty messed up.
Which is probably why Apple rejected the game from its App Store, and the developer has now been forced to make some slight changes to both the game's title and content.
Once the game started circulating around the internet earlier this year, it was met with both bemusement and criticism. Civil rights groups and immigration advocates clearly weren't impressed, claiming that the game trivializes the current debate over...

Writer/cartoonist/Pulitzer Prize winner Berkeley Breathed’s children’s book Flawed Dogs: The Year-End Leftovers at the Piddleton ‘Last Chance’ Dog Pound’ (a mouthful, I know) is en route to its film debut, as it was announced yesterday that DreamWorks has picked up the rights.
Breathed, best known for his long-running comic strip ‘Bloom County’, looks set to experience a profitable 2011, as his book Mars Needs Moms was adapted to film recently by Walt Disney Pictures and is set for a scheduled March 11 release.
The illustrated tale of doggy “undesirables” features a surreal, almost psychedelic art style that is oddly reminiscent of the works of Salvador Dali. With DreamWorks reaching a creative peak recently, it will be interesting to see how they handle this license, and whether its distinct visuals will transfer well to the silver screen.

DreamWorks Animation announced today that they will be adapting the 1970's Sid and Marty Kroft tv series Lidsville for the big screen as an animated feature length film. The movie will follow the premise of the original television series, about a young rebellious kid who falls into an alternate reality world of living hats and talking caps.
I never watched this tv series, but it looks like a nightmare brought to life. Here's a detailed description:
The show involved a teenage boy named Mark who fell into the hat of Merlo the Magician and arrived in Lidsville, a land of living hats. The hats on the show are depicted as having the same roles as the humans who would normally wear them. For example, a cowboy hat would act and speak like a cowboy. The characters' houses were also hat-shaped.
The villain of the show was a magician named Horatio J.
