I hadn't thought about it, but it's possible. I don't think MI and Shrek are as similar to each other as the examples I gave, but they do have things in common. Both present a story from the sympathetic monster's viewpoint, and both feature a big guy and his perky little sidekick. I probably didn't think of Shrek as an example because, unlike the other Dreamworks movies I listed, I really like Shrek. I don't *want* it to be just another possible ripoff of a Pixar movie -- even if all that means is that they heard about Monsters, Inc., then chose to adapt Shrek from the original book because it was kinda similar. ______________________________________________________________________ Steve Sloan .........
