The Slipshod Boss Baby Only Show Flashes Of Creativity In Some Of Its Visuals

DreamWorks Animation used to have some real ambition as a studio, or, at least, the promise of ambition. If the radically different tones and aesthetics of their first two films (Antz and The Prince Of Egypt) suggested a studio that could create a wide variety of animated motion pictures, well, they've been inconsistent in fulfilling that promise over the course of the next two decades. For every Shrek (only the first two!), How To Train Your Dragon or Kung Fu Panda that showed real imagination and artistic promise, you also had stuff like The Road To El Dorado, Bee Movie and Trolls that had them chasing other popular animated family movies for quick and easy profits. When it comes to creating worthwhile cinema, ya win some, ya lose some in the world of DreamWorks Animation.

How To Train Your Dragon 2 Review

A Dark And Fascinating Flight
OK, just look at that kid in the back, the bigger one
 right behind Toothless. Isn't he terrifying????
Four years ago, DreamWorks Animation made a movie that was very, very different from their usual offerings. Amidst a sea of cheap comedies filled with dated references and toiler humor came a gem, a beautiful story of a viking and his dragon. None could imagine the movie being as good as it was, nor it becoming as popular as it did with audiences.I myself found, and still do find, it to be one of the best movies of 2010, and perhaps the best thing DreamWorks Animation has ever made.
