On the Second Post of Christmas Ashley McGinnes Gave To Me... The Grinch?

"How the Grinch Stole Christmas" is a Dr. Seus classic come to life.  The bright costumes, sets, and special effects make this movie a "must watch" during the holiday season.  The colors are absolutely fantastic and the movie makes you feel like Who-Ville could be a real place.

My favorite part is how the movie first sets the stage:  a snow flake falling.  Then, with the help of AfterEffects no doubt, you zoom into the snowflake and see that a town resides there.  This is just one of the reasons why this movie is so magical and well done.

The Lorax

I loved Dr. Seuss growing up, so I was pretty excited when I found out that "The Lorax" was being turned into a film. When I first saw the trailer for the first time, I was even more excited, and thought that the animation looked so honest to the world that Dr. Seuss created.

As I was searching for what to write about this week, I found an article in Animation Magazine about making the movie. The producer of the film, Chris Meledanari, talks about the 2 year process that went into the animation process and how they created the world in The Lorax. He compares this animation process to others that the studio made in the past, and how this project was so different from those ones.
