Paramount Makes A Bet on Spanish Feature Animation

Spanish feature animation is having its moment. Late in 2014, Ilion studio's "Mortadelo y Filemón contra Jimmy el Cachondo" opened head-to-head in Spain against DreamWorks's "Penguins of Madagascar," and ended up grossing more than its big-budget American competitor.

DreamWorks Animation 20th Anniversary Exhibit Debuts in Melbourne

“DreamWorks Animation: The Exhibition” opened last month at the Australian Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI). Clearly inspired by “Pixar: 20 Years of Animation,” which was shown at the Museum of Modern Art in New York back in 2005, the DreamWorks show includes over 400 items, and covers the studio's twenty-year history right up to the present—there are displays about "Mr. Peabody & Sherman" and "How to Train Your Dragon 2," which will be released next month. It is the largest exhibition in the twelve-year history of the ACMI.
