So much infact, I'm basing my racism thesis on this film.

I wasn't trying to imply that HTTYD stole anything from Avatar, simply that they shared similar scenes. You're absolutely right about the length of time it takes to create an animated film.

If Dragon stands up to the quality of Panda I'll definitely see it! I think Kung Fu Panda was by FAR Dreamworks best film to date — I would like to read a comparison to that film instead of Shrek.

These animated movies take 3 or 4 years to produce and "Avatar" came out in December. It would have been pretty much impossible for DreamWorks to crib anything from Cameron in so brief a window.

Its pretty entertaining. I haven't read any references to the social commentary you refer to bu will let you know if anything comes up.<br>Dreamworks have been pretty hit and miss. I like Shrek but it has no lasting impact for me. Kung Fu Panda however is beautiful, both in story and visuals. If you haven't seen that I recommend it whole heartedly. <br>It is interesting you mention the influence of Roger Deakin on this film, there were moments of incredible editing and shot composition in KFP that blew me away and its great to see it carried on in this film.<br>Pixar may yet have some competition!<br>Cheers Hey

Pixar may yet have some competition!
