Yes. Now go to your room and don't play with yourself.

And how many of those movies don't have computer made humans?

Except for The Lion King, since that wasn't a CGI movie, which was the original subject of the question.Nemesis Maximo wrote:mirageandjazz1197 wrote:That Bot wrote:Tsutsukakushi wrote:While i'd like to see a prequel movie on Cybertron.

1. lion King
2. Finding Nemo
3. Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinos
4. Ice Age: Continental Drift
5. Kung Fu Panda 2
6. Ice Age: The Meltdown
7. Kung Fu Panda
8. Cars 2
9. Cars
10 Shark Tail
So, a solid 1/5. That's not too bad. I'm not sure an all CG TF film would have the kind of script to put against the above movies (not even Shark Tail), but it's not a bad statistic.

Also except for Finding Nemo since that did have CGI humans in it.
So, eight of them.

That Bot wrote:I looked it up. They had a distribution deal with Dreamworks Animation but that expired a few years ago. The recently formed their own animation division, aptly named Paramount Animation. Their only film so far is the new Spongebob movie, but they have a film called Monster Truck coming out next year and several films in development. So that could be a thing.
Paramount Pictures and Michael Bay have added the first two female screenwriters to the brain trust of writers who’ll hatch Transformers sequels, prequels and spinoffs under the supervision of Akiva Goldsman. Christina Hodson and Lindsey Beer have both joined the group that will help craft ideas to expand the universe of the Hasbro toy line, then go off and write them. Hodson most recently got hired to write a new version of The Fugitive for Warner Bros and producer Arnold Kopelson. She previously scripted the spec The Eden Project, which Sony bought for Material Pictures, and her script Shut In just wrapped with Naomi Watts starring and BAFTA-winner Farren Blackburn directing for Lava Bear and Europacorp. The CAA and Kaplan/Perrone-repped scribe also scripted Unforgettable for Warner Bros and is developing a pilot for FX. She has hit the Black List with her scripts three different times.
WME-repped Beer writes in multiple genres, but most frequently comedy and fantasy drama. She has several features set up around town, including a live-action family adventure story at Disney called Dig, which she sold on spec with Whitaker Entertainment producing. She did work on Short Circuit for The Weinstein Company and her rated-R genre-bending comedy How To Nail An Alien is being developed at Atlas, and her script Electric is also with Whitaker. She’s currently working on a re-imagined The Wizard Of Oz for Warner Bros. with Vertigo. Black Label Media is producing and financing her project Sierra Burgess Is A Loser. Beer is the daughter of Sundance co-founder Gary Beer, and has the necessary background if Paramount wants to blind them with science in these Transformers films: she studied neuroscience and the intersection of technology and society at Stanford.

Dont be fooled, we will get more of the same..........when movies like this make stupid money, they wont change much. I think 4 movies of nothingness is proof enough.

Well say good bye to IDW comics then.
You realize they can't work on movies and an ongoing comic book series at the same time right?

It's always Bay Bay Bay with you "Bayformer haters", but rarely do I encounter someone who acknowledges the writer is more to blame.

They have to cater to the demands/requirements of the directors, who decide what they want in their movies beforehand, and then hire writers to string their concepts together... that was more evident than ever in the last Transformers movie.
