DreamWorks appears to be focusing on The Croods only this year. Turbo was apparently so poorly received they don’t want to devote resources to it.
The Croods
Stars: Nicolas Cage, Emma Stone, Ryan Reynolds, Catherine Keener, Cloris Leachman, Clark Duke
Director: Kirk DeMicco, Chris Sanders
Premise: From IMDb: “After their cave is destroyed, a caveman family must trek through an unfamiliar fantastical world with the help of an inventive boy.”
Oscar Chances: Decent: With a lot of high profile misfires for animation this year, this could be DreamWorks’ only chance and they’ll push it for everything they’ve got.
