Nevertheless, I have yet to see anything noteworthy come out of Bollywood. The action scenes are laughably unrealistic. Every second movie is a musical (and non-musicals have way too much singing and dancing in them.)

I also have a problem with almost every musical movie I've ever seen except for Newsies; and that's mostly because of my hetero-crush on Christian Bale. I think the musical is one genre that is more suitable for the stage. Although CG movies have generally been more solid than live-action I still think they hardly ever take advantage of the freedom CG provides with cinematography. Monster House has this continuous shot at the end that would be unthinkable in live-action even with Bill Pope and ILM behind the scenes. CG movies also generally don’t take advantage of the freedom to set the story anywhere. I'm getting sick of seeing all-CG features centered on some part of the animal kingdom. That was done better than any of them in Babe. Where is my CG Bone movie!? Why do I have to be subjected to boring-ass farm animals constantly?
