...animation studios, Pixar and DreamWorks, stand above the rest as multibillion-dollar box-office titans and as entertainment delivery systems. But they have distinct, nearly opposite artistic personalities. Pixar (Toy Story, Finding 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.

The technology (and money) to create freestanding, three-dimensional, real-time holograms - in which Yellin would have looked to Blitzer as if she were standing right next to him - is still at least a decade away...
...addition to a reliable below-the-line workforce, film producers also need studios and soundstages, a request that has left members of the Film Office searching for usable warehouses. Last Monday, the town of Plymouth approved the construction of Plymouth Rock Studios, a $400 million privately-funded studio complex proposed by a group of Hollywood veterans that seeks to fill this need...
