...Jerry is still making movies that Don would have loved, but he's interested in doing other things," says Kathy Nelson, Bruckheimer's music consultant and supervisor since 1984. Indeed, Bruckheimer, who is surprisingly soft-spoken for a man whose movies are so loud, has begun working with more established directors such as Joel Schumacher and Ridley Scott. He has even thought of directing himself. But there's one thing about Bruckheimer that won't change. "My biggest thrill is when I sit in a theater and watch people laugh and cry and cheer," he says. "You start with...
...deliver images that audiences have never seen before," says Cats & Dogs' director Lawrence Guterman. "It has to be funny--otherwise there's no movie--but at the same time you have to deliver something new." That effort has gone on for two years, since Guterman and visual-effects supervisor Ed Jones went to work with animal trainers, puppeteers and three special-effects houses, including Rhythm & Hues, which made a pig talk in the Babe movies through a process called face replacement.

"Computer horsepower has gotten better, and there are some really sharp guys writing software," says Dennis Muren, senior visual effects supervisor at ILM. His team has kept dinosaurs steadily evolving since the first Jurassic Park in 1993; research for the first two movies has made more monsters possible for the upcoming Jurassic Park III. Cats & Dogs' animators paid their dues on Babe but honed their craft on a talking bulldog for last year's Little Nicky...
...said, "are not prom dates." Critics accused Hahn of playing on racial sensitivities at a time when Latinos are surpassing blacks as the city's most powerful ethnic constituency. The races were split: about 4 out of 5 blacks voted for Hahn (like his father, a onetime county supervisor, he is a stalwart supporter of the black community), while about the same proportion of Latinos voted for Villaraigosa. "The negative ethnic factor was being brought in," insists Harry Pachon, president of the Tomas Rivera Policy Institute in Claremont, Calif., a nonprofit Latino think tank.
