Clue: It's Not Just Pretty Pictures

Dreamworks Animation is - on a storytelling level - a VERY poor substitute for Pixar. Animation's on par, but their storytelling SUUUUCKS. Sadly, Despicable Me was more like a Dreamworks production than a Pixar production. I know plenty of people liked it. But ..."meh": I couldn't even be bothered to remember who made it, other than to know, without looking, that it wasn't a Pixar.
