...with all the same TV manufacturers showing off a variety of displays that either work with glasses or create a 3-D-like effect automatically on screen. Dozens of movies and video games are in the works that take advantage of improvements in 3-D-display technology. Indeed, Jeffrey Katzenberg, whom Stringer introduced as the "John the Baptist of 3-D," was in full proselytizing mode, working the convention-center floor and giving interviews. Katzenberg has staked his DreamWorks Animation's future on the technology; it's the first studio to be creating all its movies in 3-D from...
...When Pretty Woman came out in 1990, it was a smash, especially with women, and I hated it. Jeffrey Katzenberg, who ran the studio that made the film, explained what I was missing: "You don't understand shopping."

This eventually led, in the way of Hollywood, to Seinfeld's co-writing, co-producing, starring in and overseeing the film, which opens on Nov. 2, with Seinfeld as a young bee named Barry who ventures out of the hive, becomes sweet on a human florist (voiced...
...Katzenberg says animation appealed to Seinfeld "because he's a perfectionist, and it's probably the only form of moviemaking where you can actually get near perfection." Seinfeld disagrees, describing himself as "obsessive, yes; perfectionist, no." For more than three years during production, Seinfeld continued his stand-up gigs on weekends and also oversaw everything from Bee Movie's casting to the most minute hand movements of the animated characters. (He began flying out to the DreamWorks studio so often, in fact, that he eventually rented a house in Bel Air, Calif.) During the final stages of production in August...
