Why do all computer animated movies have to be about humanized animals? Madagascar, Over the Hedge, Happy Feet, Bugs Life, Antz, Ice Age, Ice Age 2, Finding Nemo, Chicken Little, Flushed Away, Open Season, Ratatouille, Shark Tale.

I think the concept has been done before.

check out stuff like Aesop’s fables and old history epics, we have been doing anthropomorphism since history was recorded… computer animation is the newest form for deliving these tales.

and yes, i am sick of advertising for Bee movie, it only makes the movie look bad (try to hype it when you know you laid a turd)

The point was not whether each individual movie listed was good or bad. The point is that computer animation is capable of so much, that you are really just limited by your imagination in terms of what you can do. Not all of the current crop of CGI movies have been based on anthropomorphism and, not coincidentally, most of those have been better movies than the ones listed above (with some definite exceptions, just as I feel Ratatouille and Finding Nemo were exceptions).

But hey, if you want to get in line for Madagascar 2 and Ice Age 3, by all means. They’re clearly just a continuation of the tradition established by Aesop’s fables.
