A collection of children's animated adventures from the Blue Sky
studios. In 'Epic' (2013), Mary Katherine (voice of Amanda
Seyfried) lives in a cabin in the woods with her eccentric father,
Professor Bomba (Jason Sudeikis), who studies the local fauna. One
day, when he doesn't return from a hike in the forest, she sets out
to find him, inadvertently stumbling across some strange glowing
leaves. Clutching one, Mary Katherine is shrunken down to the
forest floor, where, after meeting up with a group of warriors
known as the Leafmen, she finds herself helping her new friends in
their war to save their world from the clutches of the evil
Boggans. In 'Horton Hears a Who!' (2008), a jungle elephant named
Horton (Jim Carrey) discovers a race of tiny beings living in a
solitary dandelion. Recognising the dangers they face, the friendly
pachyderm resolves to keep his microscopic pals safe. However, as
Horton is the only one who hears the inhabitants of 'Whoville', his
other animal pals are convinced he's gone crazy and resolve to do
something about it. Horton and his miniscule friends must struggle
against these impossible odds to prevent disaster. In 'Ice Age'
(2002), a group of three animals embark upon an epic journey at the
dawn of the great ice age. Sid the sloth (John Leguizamo), Manfred
the woolly mammoth (Ray Romano), and Diego the sabre-toothed tiger
(Denis Leary) team up to help return a human baby to its father,
and must risk life and limb as they traverse boiling lava pits and
travel through dangerous ice caves to complete their mission. In
'Ice Age 2: The Meltdown' (2006), Manny is ready to start a family,
but nobody has seen another mammoth for a long time; in fact, Manny
thinks he may be the last one. That is until he miraculously finds
Ellie (Queen Latifah), the only female mammoth left in the world.
The only problem is, they can't stand each other... In 'Ice Age 3:
Dawn of the Dinosaurs' (2009), Scrat the squirrel (Chris Wedge) is
still trying to get his paws on that ever-elusive nut, Manny and
Ellie anxiously await the birth of their mini-mammoth, and Diego
wonders if he's growing too laid-back living the life of a pampered
house cat. Meanwhile, Sid the sloth gets into trouble when he
creates his own makeshift family by hijacking some unusually large
eggs, and inadvertently discovers a mysterious underground world
where dinosaurs still roam. In 'Ice Age 4: Continental Drift'
(2012), when the entire continent is set adrift following a global
cataclysm, Manny, Diego and Sid find themselves separated from the
rest of the herd. Commandeering a nearby iceberg as a makeshift
boat, they take to the high seas. Fearsome sea creatures and
battlethirsty pirates are among the challenges faced by the
intrepid trio as they ride the waves of the world in search of
their family. In 'Rio' (2011), Blu (Jesse Eisenberg) is a rare
macaw living in a bookshop in small-town Minnesota. Believing
himself to be the last of his kind, he is thrilled to hear that a
female macaw of the same species has been spotted in South America.
Blu must now overcome his social ineptitude and fear of flying and
set out for Rio de Janeiro to track down the feisty and independent
Jewel (Anne Hathaway) and try to win her heart. Finally, in
'Robots' (2005), Rodney Copperbottom (Ewan McGregor) is a small
town robot who has a gift for inventing things and a hope of moving
beyond his quaint surroundings. Dreaming of doing something better
than working alongside his dad in a restaurant, Rodney, armed with
his unique talent for inventing, embarks on a journey to Robot City
to meet his idol, the majestic inventor Bigweld (Mel Brooks).
Two sworn enemies learn that they have more in common than meets
the eye, and it's never too late to make a new friend-even if it
takes decades! Ever since they were little hatchlings, Turtle and
Tortoise decided that they'd forever be separated due to their
different shells. As years and years go by, the two reptiles stay
on opposites side of the pen and embark on their own adventures,
while holding an everlasting grudge. Until one day, Turtle and
Tortoise get into a bit of pickle and need each other's help! This
hilarious and heartwarming picture book from Merry Un-Christmas
author Mike Reiss and The Most Magnificent Thing creator Ashley
Spires is perfect for fans of unlikely pairs such as Frog and Toad
Are Friends by Arnold Lobel, Duck and Bear from Jory John's
Goodnight Already!, and Boy + Bot by Ame Dyckman. Turtle has a
smooth shell. Tortoise has a rough shell. Goodness gracious! How
can they possibly be friends?!
Semi-Finalist for the 2019 James Thurber Award * One of Vulture's
Top-10 Comedy Books of 2018 * A "Must" pick by Entertainment Weekly
* An A.V. Club Best Books selection * A "New and Noteworthy"
selection by USA Today In celebration of The Simpsons thirtieth
anniversary, the show's longest-serving writer and producer offers
a humorous look at the writing and making of the legendary Fox
series that has become one of the most revered artistic
achievements in television history. Four-time Emmy winner Mike
Reiss-who has worked on The Simpsons continuously since episode one
in 1989-shares stories, scandals, and gossip about working with
America's most iconic cartoon family ever. Reiss explains how the
episodes are created, and provides an inside look at the show's
writers, animators, actors and celebrity guests. He answers a range
of questions from Simpsons fans and die-hards, and reminisces about
the making of perennially favorite episodes. In his freewheeling,
irreverent comic style, Reiss reflects on his lifetime inside The
Simpsons-a personal highlights reel of his achievements,
observations, and favorite stories. Springfield Confidential
exposes why Matt Groening decided to make all of the characters
yellow; dishes on what it's like to be crammed in a room full of
funny writers sixty hours a week; and tells what Reiss learned
after traveling to seventy-one countries where The Simpsons is
watched (ironic note: there's no electricity in many of these
places); and even reveals where Springfield is located! He features
unique interviews with Judd Apatow, who also provided the foreword,
and Conan O'Brien, as well as with Simpsons legends Al Jean, Nancy
Cartwright, Dan Castellaneta, and more. Like Cary Elwes' As You
Wish, Jennifer Keishin Armstrong's Seinfeldia, and Chris Smith's
The Daily Show: An Oral History, Springfield Confidential is a
funny, informational, and exclusive look at one of the most beloved
programs in all of television land.
