    Other Side Of Maleficent

    I have been looking forward to Maleficent with equal amounts of anticipation and dread. On one hand, she is easily my favorite Disney villain, so cold and so pure, and I want desperately to see more of her and her back-story. On the other hand, she is easily my favorite Disney villain, and I would hate to see her parodied, taken lightly or ultimately destroyed in a film that does not understand this great character. The good news is that this film almost gets it right; but that is also the bad news.

    Renegades of Animation: Pat Sullivan

    Pat Sullivan became famous worldwide for his creation of Felix the Cat. What most animation histories gloss over is Sullivan’s checkered past and longtime standing as a wildcat renegade. He didn’t follow the rules. And he made damn sure to fully protect his intellectual properties.

    DreamWorks Animation SKG Inc. shares rose Wednesday by almost 5% -- $1.21 -- to $25.65, one day after the studio reported a stronger fourth quarter than analysts predicted.

    Shares in DreamWorks Animation rose 55 cents to $24.44 even before the earnings were announced Tuesday.

    The company said that revenues jumped 42% from the previous year to $290.2 million, helped in large part by Shrek The Third's blockbuster box-office performance.

    Net profit reached $94.1 million (98 cents a share) in the fourth quarter of 2007, up from a loss of $21.3 million (20 cents a share) a year earlier.

    On average, analysts polled by Thomson Financial expected the company to post earnings of 72 cents a share on revenue of $277 million.

    Bee Movie, released November 2, was thought by analysts to be a relative disapppointment. However, DreamWorks CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg predicted that the film will become profitable after its DVD release next month. The movie made in $126.6 million in North America and $285.2 million worldwide.

    Wall Street expects DreamWorks Animation to write down the value of the movie, said Evan Wilson of Pacific Crest Securities.

    Wilson says that the next few years will see stronger DreamWorks releases, including Kung Fu Panda, an adaptation of the book How To Train Your Dragon, and Shrek Goes Fourth. "The content of its upcoming films is vastly improved from the struggles it encountered in 2006, and a much-less-crowded 2008 should allow it to post solid numbers for the year," he said.

    Goldman Sachs analyst Ingrid Chung thinks that DreamWorks Animation's four films of 2007 and 2008, including Madagascar: The Crate Escape, will outdo its four offerings of 2005 and 2006.

    "We look to strong 2008 results from Kung Fu Panda this June in front of the Beijing Olympics and its Christmas season home video release," Chung wrote in a client note.

    Worries about the relatively low North American ticket receipts of Bee Movie and concerns about Shrek DVD sales proved exaggerated, added Chung, who held onto a "buy" rating and a $30 per share price target.
