Animated Feature Watch

An animated week at the movies.

Meet The Robinsons and TMNT are expected to be #2 and #4 at the nation’s box office this weekend. More than one animated film in the top five is always pleasant surprise – and a good sign for the industry.

Two other highly anticipated animated feature films, Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon and The Simpsons Movie, are nearing their release dates.

The readers at Ain’t It Cool News seem to generally agree with me about the qualities of the upcoming Aqua Teen movie.

Meanwhile, Nikki Finke has posted some details from a work-in-progress/test screening of The Simpsons Movie held in Portland last week. I’ll happily wait to see the finished film before jumping to conclusions, but that one sounds like a winner to me.
