Megamind may become part of the film-schools' curriculum, because it proves two principles of animated film artisanship: First, as Roger Ebert emphasizes in his review of "Megamind," animation is "incomparably more suited for 3D than live action is." Second, excellent actors bring their on-screen avatars to life, adding depth and the "It" quality to a story and characters that, without the talents behind them, would barely earn a B-minus. Will Ferrell, Tina Fey, and Brad Pitt literally and figuratively "make" this movie, and they drove it to number one at the box office for two weeks during the autumn of 2010."Based on the clever premise that a villain needs a hero to inspire his greatest evil doing, "Megamind" shows the world's most notorious and least successful villain feeling depressed and uninspired. "Megamind," clearly acknowledged as a criminal genius but just as clearly incompetent at carrying out his schemes, inadvertently has defeated his nemesis, "MetroMan," and the thrill is gone from evil-doing. Under the watchful eye of television reporter Roxanne Ritchi, Megamind creates Titan to cure his loneliness.
