...Nemo, WALL-E) is the clear avatar of the Walt Disney style, stressing sympathetic characters and seamless storytelling. DreamWorks (the Shrek trilogy, Shark Tale) updates the dazzle and impudence of the Warner Bros. cartoon studio of the '30s, '40s and '50s - a faster pace, lots of sight gags and pop-culture allusions; its movies tend toward anarchy but land in vaudeville.

...pair of Lichtensteins, in the form of sneakers, walked past me in Harvard Square. Just like that. No warning, no explanation, just “Whaam!” “Pow!” “Pop!” and there it was: art and fashion (and the philosophical ponderings of the intersection between the two) thrust upon me by a pair of kicks.

(Trust me, “Sk8er Boi” was bad enough when just Avril was singing it.) The first “Guitar Hero” games were similarly plagued by their inability to use officially licensed...
