Too Many Animated Movies

A thing I learned from this article is that there are too many animated movies coming out or already out.
Another thing I learned is that DreamWorks had to lay off people because of the money lost from "Rise of The Guardians." I also learned that Warner Brothers is making a movie based off of Legos in 2014.(Why?....) A thing I liked about this article is that it shows how more creativity is needed for movies to be successful. Another thing I liked about this article is that it talks about upcoming animated movies. A question i have is whats with the obsession with the Minions from "Despicable Me"?
