Thinking about Rise of the Guardians, Dreamworks’ latest offering, I can’t say for sure whether Pete Ramsey mixed a heart-warming, energetic childrens’ film with a story of secular subversion or vice versa. Most likely, it’s the former; there’s little doubting that Rise of the Guardians exists first and foremost to entertain and dazzle theaters full of tykes and adults alike with impressive panache. In that respect, the film succeeds in overwhelming fashion, boasting a bright, colorful visual palette and a much-improved style of animation while giving its world life through excellent voice casting. (If, of course, your concept of Santa Claus involves Jack Donaghy’s Russian half-brother.) Put simply, there’s no denying that the…

G-S-T Quick 5 – Highly Anticipated Animated Films Left In 2012
2012 has seen some really great animated films so far. While computer graphics have taken up most of the animated market in the last decade, they have also improved in quality and spectacle at an almost geometric rate. This year film fans were treated to the likes of Brave, Madagascar 3 and Ice Age 4 which all did very well and proved to be feathers in the caps of their respective animation studios. But while we were excited about them, and they did well from huge marketing campaigns, they didn’t need much help from the blogging community due to their existing fan base. That said however, here are 5 films that have either slightly smaller budgets…

G-S-T Review…Puss In Boots
Editor’s Note: Go,See,Talk presents this review of Puss In Boots as part of a series of entries from our guest contributing writer Grady M. DreamWorks has dreamt up yet another hit movie with Puss in Boots. This prequel to Shrek will entertain adults with its witty banter as the children chuckle at the physical comedy. The back story on Puss in Boots is heartwarming and emotionally charged, like the entire Shrek series. DreamWorks has a knack for taking existing nursery rhymes and turning them into something a little bolder, with crude humor wrapped around a barrel of laughs. This prequel to the Shrek series wasn’t just another spin-off to rake in…

Ohhh, Look…Another New 'Kung Fu Panda 2' Character
Last month we posted 6 of the new characters in Dreamworks’ upcoming sequel to Kung Fu Panda. Well today we have one new addition to the line up…one, well I guess you can’t really call henchmen one new character, but you get the idea. Also, we have some much nicer looking shots of the other characters below. Have a look and enjoy… The Gorillas are the muscle in Lord Shen’s army. From the looks of him I wonder if this guy walks down the street singing, “I ain’t happy, I’m feeling glad, I got sunshine in a bag, I’m useless but not for long. The future is coming on…“. Sorry, I couldn’t…

Sweet (Teaser) Trailer…'Kung Fu Panda 2'
OK I have to admit that of the ho-hum and forgettable past Dreamworks Animation pictures, I was extremely surprised with Kung Fu Panda. While I believe that Jack Black is a dish made tolerable in small doses, he fit the character Po perfectly; clumsy, pitiful but still heartwarmingly hilarious. Anyway Dreamworks has been working on the follow up titled Kung Fu Panda 2: The Kaboom of Doom and it’ll actually be here pretty soon. For now, take a look at the teaser trailer below… This upcoming animated film and the sequel to the 2008 film, Kung Fu Panda will be presented in 3-D. Directed by Jennifer Yuh, this sequel follows Po…
