And how to explain the non-stop production of CGI "cute animal" movies? Last year we had "On the Farm" (or whatever it was called), "The Wild" (by Disney), "Happy Feet", and this year we have "Surf's Up" (yet another movie with penguins). How many of these movies do we really need?
 
Or do the CG artists want to make animal movies to show off their skills? "Look, animated fur!" "Look, photo-realistic water!", "Look, realistic trees and grass". Who says we need a plot or a storyline? Everyone will be so amazed at the life-life animation that they won't care about the story.
