Interview: Djimon Hounsou is Vocal in ‘How to Train Your Dragon 2’
Submitted by PatrickMcD on June 17, 2014 - 2:01pmCHICAGO – Character actor Djimon Hounsou (Jee-mahn Hahn-soo) is memorable in any role he takes on – whether it’s working with Steven Spielberg in “Amistad,” or being so indelibly subtle for “In America.” Hounsou has also forged a true character in his voiceover work as Drago Bludvist in “How to Train Your Dragon 2.”

Film Review: ‘Brave’ Connects While Not Matching Pixar Standard
Submitted by BrianTT on June 21, 2012 - 11:22amCHICAGO – Pixar’s 13th film has been lauded as a major first for the company – the inaugural adventure aimed squarely at young females.

Submitted by PatrickMcD on July 15, 2011 - 10:39amCHICAGO – Walt Disney Pictures goes old school with their latest animated tale, a return to the Hundred Acre Woods and the adventures of “Winnie the Pooh.” Using the style of the classic “2-D” cartoon method, and crafting a story that is decidedly old fashioned, the folks at the Mouse Factory resisted updating the Pooh formula.
