This past weekend I had the great opportunity to check out a relatively unknown animated film, Foodfight! This indie gem sprung to my screen last week out of the blue, and while I may not have had the highest expectations going into the film, I can honestly say that it it has set a new precedent for animated features. It is no stretch to say that this is the next Toy Story, and the future of animation can be seen in this film. Read more...
