DreamWorks Announces New Film; Pixar cries.


DreamWorks has started production on a new CGI-Animated movie about a 17-year old Manta Ray with ADHD (edgy!) named Jay. Jay the Manta Ray (his name and the title of the movie) must overcome all sorts of obstacles (including an evil principal) to graduate high school. Jay the Manta Ray is set to be released July 4th weekend 2010 and stars Adam Brody, with Chevy Chase, Mandy Moore, Wanda Sykes, Teri Hatcher, and featuring Adam Sandler as the evil Principal Darkray.

Do you hear that my dear blog-readers? Oh yes. It's the death rattle of Pixar. This movie will kick Cars ass so hard. Who needs cars when you got manta rays, angst, and the Dream Team of the Two Adams???

What I most love about this movie is that it takes place in high school. Finally an animation studio is acknowledging that stoner high school kids (and stoner college kids who just can't let go of high school) make up a good chunk of their audience.
