The Shrek films have become a huge success--and the second having outgrossed the highest grossing Pixar film so far--and some of the other DreamWorks pictures are good as well. But they don't have the genuinity and pure HEART that Pixar has.

I think it was on one of the commentaries (or movie reviews; I keep forgetting where I heard) that that was the
exact reason why Pixar films were so successful: their story. They manage to pull off heart without the saccharine overload or those really awkward "we're trying VERY hard to please you!" moments. And I consider it a blessing when I hear something else other than mainstream radio pop music or shameless advertisement in a film (Shrek being the only exception because it felt more like a satire of mainstream culture, e.i., a Starbucks on every corner). When we see an
original storyline that isn't a recycled version of a previous film or based on a childrens' story book it's a fresh breath of air, particularly now that CGI films are coming out faster than we can cope. I swear, I've seen so many trailers on tv, I have no idea what's what or who made it. Either way, they all seem about the same to me; I stopped keeping track after I watched Madagascar. :p
GrimTheLost: I loved the bloopers from A Bug's Life. I
never expected to see all these little bugs as actors screwing up their lines, laughing and becoming tired; particularly Hopper!
