People have been coming out in droves to see Marvel's latest film, Iron Man 3. But, the film's success at the box office doesn't mean all is well. Moviegoers have been divided upon the film's big twist, which is Ben Kingsley's Mandarin isn't really the Mandarin.

Jonathan Bach "The idea was floated that at some point we would see where the baboons that Evanora used to do here dirty work came from and so I did some passes on an ominous home for them.

Unfortunately Entertainment Weekly doesn't allow for their videos to be embedded so you'll have to click over there to watch what I'm talking about here, but that's the way it goes sometimes. Last week, Wes Anderson revealed a short animated companion piece to his new film Moonrise Kingdom would be coming soon. In the film 12-year-old Suzy (Kara Hayward) carries with her a collection of six books from which she used to read to her younger brothers before running away with Sam (Jared Gilman) on the adventure that guides the rest of the film. Those books she kept with her and even reads to Sam later in the film and now she reads them for us with accompanying animation and narration by Bob Balaban. Anderson considered animating the stories for the film, but ultimately decided to hold on the characters' faces during these scenes, but after the film was made...
