...animation style, which looks sort of like “Shrek” with the effects budget of a tire dealership commercial. “Physics” and “realistic lip movements” have no place in Red’s forest, none of the motion is smooth, and every possible corner is cut: when characters aren’t talking, they often just freeze in place until their next line.

...undergraduate, a rare event that has occurred less than once a year in the past decade. Citing privacy concerns, FAS administrators did not release the student’s name or the reasons he or she was dismissed, but FAS Director of Communications Robert Mitchell did confirm that the motion to dismiss passed.

The second film, The Wrong Trousers, is one of the great screen comedies and a tribute to man's dependence on animals...
