Put down those crayons and close MS Paint - It Happened One Year is delving into the wildly inconsistent world of film animation in the Year 2000, and you are there! Listen as Sarah & Joe discuss films that range in quality from near cinematic perfection to virtually unwatchable in this barreling episode! The discussion largely centers on five (count 'em, five!) major theater releases - Dreamworks' The Road to El Dorado, Disney's Dinosaur and The Emperor's New Groove, Aardman's Chicken Run, and the Don Bluth space epic Titan A.E. Along the way, many curious production facts are explored, including the similarities between the South American pictures, the not-so-welcome influence of computer effects on these largely hand-drawn films, and the fact that you could still get two Whoppers for only $2 in 2000. Surprises abound!
