ParaNorman (Aug 2012)

After Brave, here come the next 3D animation movie, ParaNorman. From the synopsis, it reminds me of the funnier (or kid) version of "The Sixth Sense", you know, especially the "I see dead people" part?

In any case, as this is a comedy, thus, lots of funny stuff is expected there. Even though there are no big stars in this film but I have a gut feeling that it will be a fun ride as the director (Chris Butler) is the one who brought us the powerful animation like Corpse Bride (2005) and Coraline (2009).

Ice Age 4: Continental Drift (Jul 2012)

Animation movies, especially those in 3D, always managed to attract crowds to the cinema. That's the reason why the sequel or prequel of animation movies are constantly in the pipe-line. During this summer holidays (Jul 2012), sequel of the Ice Age franchise, Ice Age 4 - Continental Drift will be released in between 2 superheroes blockbusters i.e. The Amazing Spiderrman (4th Jul) and The Dark Knight Rises (20th Jul 2012).

By the way, it has been exactly 10 years since the first Ice Age (2002). What makes this fourth installment slightly different from the previous 3 is the joined directorship from Mike Thurmeier (director of the last 3 installments) and Steve Martino (director of "Horton Hears A Who![2008]"). Regardless, I am pretty sure that lots of laughter are expected from this highly popular animation franchise.  

Official Release Dates of Ice Age 4: Continental Drift:

USA           : 13 Jul 2012

Singapore  : 12 Jul 2012

Malaysia    : 12 Jul 2012
