There are also remnants of the competition between Pixar and Dreamworks, the creator of the wildly successful Shrek animated series. The Shrek series made the talking donkey voiced by Eddie Murphy into a main character and was rewarded with favorable publicity. The Incredibles feebly attempts to expand the racial horizon of its previous films by giving a bit role to superhero Frozone—celebrity voiced by Samuel L. Jackson—who gets approximately 15 minutes of screen time. More successful is Pixar’s attempt to challenge Dreamworks on the belly-laugh front: when Jack Jack...
They called her a dog and a donkey. "This year, there's no God except us," Abdulkarim says they told her. "We are your god now." When they were finished, one of the men drew his knife and slashed deep across Abdulkarim's left thigh, a few inches above her knee.

Before Doom most games took place in flatland: they were two-dimensional, like Donkey Kong or Pac-Man.

Here Adelaide sculptor Andrew Best's huge-scale replica of the '80s video game Donkey Kong serves as a useful guide. As with that game, your eye will be pulled along vertiginous corridors until a visual "hook" pulls you into the next space. Then descend into the dark depths of acmi, where the other artists dwell. Here Marcus Lyall's video Slow Service, 2003, is essential...
...example, this film's most delightful new character is Puss In Boots (brilliantly voiced by Antonio Banderas). Hired by the King to slay Shrek but soon his ally, Puss vies with Donkey for the coveted role of "annoying talking animal." Striking a heroic pose, swishing his sword with menacing elan, he is suddenly undone by that most undignified of feline problems--a hair ball...
