    Agree. I'm aware this is very 'man whose first film was the Boss Baby', but it's basically exactly what that first large cohort of female Conservative MPs in 2010, who were largely late-career professionals, all would say privately when they arrived in the House.

    Exactly. Look, Dreamworks has a lot of good, even great movies. But they also made Shark Tale, and the Boss Baby, and Shrek the Third, and they got a Cocomelon movie coming soon. Bottom line, doing console wars with animation studios are stupid. They can have their ups and their downs

    “Favorite movies from age 20?” I don’t want to be reminded about 2017’s lackluster lineup for theatrical animated films. It would be Coco, I guess. Not saying much when its competitions were The Boss Baby, Emoji Movie, a Despicable Me movie that was weaker than average.

    And also Shark Tale, Bee Movie, Home, The Boss Baby film, Shrek the Third and Spirit Untamed. This may be a new low for DreamWorks but they've already had lows in the past. Not to mention I feel like they're going to follow up the Cocomelon movie with a better film afterwards.

    And also Shark Tale, and Bee Movie, and The Boss Baby, and Shrek the Third… what I'm getting at is that DreamWorks has ALWAYS made on occasional mediocre and bad movies. And P.S. DreamWorks is not going die just because they're releasing a CocoMelon movie. Just saying.

    The PAW Patrol movies surprised critics because they know that parents take their kids to these things. Even the dad next to me at Dino Movie laughed at the gags and rooted for Marshall. Something you'd think even the Boss Baby studio would have learned. But this, more than Gabby, looks like noise.
