...think so. Nine years ago, when the award for Best Animated Feature was established, DreamWorks got the first one, for Shrek. Since then, Katzenberg's products have been shut out (the studio distributed one Oscar winner, Nick Park's veddy English Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit), while Pixar has taken five: Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, Ratatouille, WALL•E and Up. This year, DreamWorks' perky Monsters vs Aliens was not even one of the five finalists. "Each year I do one DreamWorks project," actor Jack Black told the crowd at the 2009 ceremony, "then I take...
...interest only to accountants. So how's the movie? Mostly frabjous. The visual palette is more artfully riotous than that of other Alice films, the performances more zestful. The walls of the hole that Alice (Mia Wasikowska) falls into are stocked with all manner of the White Rabbit's mementos; this could be WALL•E's cluttered annex.

That's way below industry predictions (in the low- to middle-$20 millions) and less than a quarter of the $62 million amassed this weekend by the defending champ, Alice in Wonderland, which has leapt like a White Rabbit past the $200 million mark in just 10 days. The Tim Burton-Johnny Depp effort is also a war movie, at least partly, but with the Red Queen and the White Queen, not Saddam Hussein and George W. Bush, as the executive adversaries.

...painting an astonishing Wonderland that is at once ominous and irresistibly intriguing. Much like Disney’s original animated film, “Alice in Wonderland” sets dark, foreboding tones around many of Alice’s new encounters. Especially when Alice first enters the rabbit hole, the looming doors and tattered walls cast a menacing environment that effectively looms over the miniscule Alice...
