I really think Katz's House is going to start being greater competition with the Mouse...
And I'm not talking just box office. I'm talking quality. If Guillermo del Toro is going to be more involved in producing some of the upcoming releases then we may see a lot less fart jokes. The last two films that DreamWorks Animation has done are the best they've ever made, in my opinion. "Kung Fu Panda" is their best and only film that is equal to a film from the Lamp, "How to Train your Dragon" came close as well, but I still prefer Panda.
Now we've known from the press that del Toro was helping out on "Megamind" and working on "Trollhunters," but that he had a secret project he couldn't reveal. We now know what that project is.
"Alma."
For those that don't know or haven't yet clicked the link, the short was written and directed by Rodrigo Blaas, a former Pixar animator that did the film in his spare time. It's about a young girl that becomes facinated with a toy doll in the front display of a window and the enchantingly creepiness that follows. Blaas will direct and Guillermo will produce the film for the company. Rodrigo will also co-direct Trollhunters with del Toro. Another project by someone from Pixar or Disney that got away.
I wonder what other projects Guillermo del Toro was thinking up that might someday wind up as a DreamWork film instead of a Disney film...
