I think African Cats and Water for Elephants.

So much crap happened during the production of Hoodwinked Too!: Hood vs. Evil I'm amazed it's actually coming out. Burger King toys for it came out in January last year, the month it was originally set to be released. I may just rent it because I don't have much hope of liking it. Hoodwinked has a good story despite the CGI sets and characters looking made by amateurs. The sequel's trailer implies there's fart jokes and a returning character getting hit in the crotch. The director of Hoodwinked was proud of Hoodwinked for being a family film without fart jokes and characters getting hit in the crotch. The returning characters in the sequel trailer look more like they were made by amateurs than they did in the original.

^Actually, I thought the animation was way smoother this time around.

African Cats looks like the only thing decent coming out in April. Everything else looks either meh (Hoodwinked Too) or it looks like complete crap (Hop).

I will not see the Arthur remake as it does look really bad.

Thank You Pixarfan for joining in the fight to get this movie dubbed the "worst movie of 2011".

I voted for Water For Elephants. I think that movie has a lot of potential to be very good, and if not, it should at least be entertaining.

I haven't seen anything from Hoodwinked Too!: Hood vs. Evil, but I adore the original so I'll keep an eye out for the sequel when it airs on TV.

I'll probably pay attention to the numbers Prom takes in, but besides that, I'm not interested in anything else coming out.

Again, "African Cats" is the only one here I'd even care about. For the sake of dvdjunkie, Russel Brand anything is crap. I actually felt he was the worst part of "Bed Time Stories." So no worries of me ever seeing the "Arther" re-make.

Apparently Apollo 18 is getting pushed back to a Jan 2012 release.
