Lingford with an ambitious proposal. “If it had been any other student, I would have advised her that combining Maya 3D digital animation with hand drawing and puppetry was way too ambitious.

Ten of these are animated features (beginning with Dragon and ending in December with Yogi Bear); four are extensions of B-movie franchises (Step Up 3D, Piranha 3-D, Jackass 3D and Saw VII); one is another concert film (Kenny Chesney: Summer in 3D.) Two Disney films, Alice in Wonderland and Tron Legacy, are a mix of live action and digital fantasy. That leaves just two live-action movies - the Warner Bros. adventures Clash...
