...past four decades. One reason: salt often lurks where you don't expect it. A dollop of cottage cheese, for instance, can pack twice as much of the mineral as a palmful of salted peanuts. Plus, as much as 75% of Americans' sodium intake comes from processed foods like canned soup and baking mixes--which means you could easily blow past your daily allotment without ever picking up the saltshaker...
...young people take flight on a dragon, just like in Avatar, but the trip is longer and way swoopier. Ancient warriors strut their testosterone in approved Beowulf or 300 fashion. A kid befriends an otherworldly creature - a flame-spuming update of the alien from E.T. - and tries to hide him from adults. It's a foolproof scheme for picture making: take the plot elements of favorite movies, paint the concoction with bright colors so it looks like the zazziest customized car, set it running at NASCAR speed - then add 3-D - and you have How to Train Your Dragon...
Christopher Greenslate and Kerri Leonard, high school teachers outside San Diego, were griping about the rising cost of groceries when they decided to see what life is like for the billion people on earth who spend $1 a day on food.

Awww, did we have to go and say Pixar? The very word stings the DreamWorks ego like a lighted cigar tip on a fresh wound.

Katzenberg's new animation unit soon out-Disneyed Disney, whose 2-D features have waned in appeal. But he hasn't been able to out-Pixar Pixar. (See the top 10 Pixar voices...
...pursue their visions more or less on their own. DreamWorks movies, made mostly in the Hollywood suburb of Glendale, are team efforts. A Pixar film may have one writer besides the director; it's total auteur handicraft. Most DreamWorks movies credit two directors and several writers, and play like the spiffiest vaudeville. The DreamWorkers aren't in the masterpiece business; they just want to provide an expert good time...
