(Los Angeles, CA – Feb 22, 2012) — Paramount Pictures, a unit of Viacom Inc. (NASDAQ: VIA), announced today that David Stainton, president of Paramount Animation, has resigned for personal reasons.
Adam Goodman, president of the Paramount Motion Picture Group, said: “We are grateful for the time David spent at the studio and we wish him well in his future endeavors.” Goodman will directly oversee the animation development team moving forward.
In 2011, Paramount released Rango, the company’s first fully owned CGI animated property, which grossed more than $240 million worldwide and earned an Academy Award® nomination for Best Animated Feature. The studio also helped finance and distribute The Adventures of Tintin, an animated film from director Steven Spielberg and producer Peter Jackson, which has grossed $372 million worldwide.

How is Adam Goodman going to oversee all of these things by himself?
Sooooooooooo, that didn’t take long!!
Maybe he’ll join his sister Pam at DigiDomain!
The animation on both Rango and TinTin is amazing and just as good, if not better than Pixar or DWA.
But TinTin is a snore and Rango is a masterpiece.
Not a great year for Spielberg, huh?
“Not a great year for Spielberg, huh?’
WAR HORSE
Nominated For: Best Picture, Best Art Direction, Best Cinematography, Best Original Score, Best Sound Editing, Best Sound Mixing

Worldwide Gross – $372,008,314
Yeah, HORRIBLE year for Spielberg. Poor bastard will probably be looking for a job from you in a few weeks.
What is it you do again?
Oh, that’s right.
tin tin wasn’t “animated,” and was a mess, while rango was just plain ugly, and bombed at the box office. Neither can compare to the storytelling prowess or visual complexity of the best of Pixar.
Still, it’s good they fired know nothing stainton.
Yes, but Stainton had NOTHING to do with either of those productions.
True–he made treasure planet, home on the range, and chicken little. 3 of Disney’s BIGGEST animated bombs.
He was the main catalyst for closing down the Florida Animation Unit which made Mulan, Brother Bear and Lilo and Stitch, and closed down the making of 2D hand drawn films at Disney. These idiots simply follow Katzenbergs whims (saying that 2d is dead), instead of realizing that unless you have a great story the film will fail, no matter if it is hand drawn, made in CG or even stop motion.
