Glows: The idea of Dreamworks taking over Pixar is a brilliant scenario!
Grows: Next time, you should film your voiceovers in another location, because there is a lot of background noise.

pfBRHCH—Gosh—I start so many of my comments with just me cracking up but its totally warranted—"what if Dreamworks took Pixar?" Legendary. I kind of love it—especially if you're intending on actually using the moon boy and the lamp in an animated short together—'cuz I love both of those characters—and I've always thought that the moon boy should be used somewhere. Where does the Dreamworks guy take the lamp? Why? For what reason? What world does this take place? Then—looking into the mind of another—love it—anything remotely mindreader-y is wonderful. It's the whole Inside Out "do you ever look at someone and wonder, 'what is going on inside their head?'" idea—only slightly modified. So, how exactly do you look into someone's mind? Can you exclusively only look into the mind of someone who has a lot going on (well, that's still most people, but a valid clarification)? Do their thoughts and concerns appear as thought bubbles? Also, is this exclusively for the audience, or is there a person with the ability to look into people's minds? Going to the first idea—monsters are always fun—it's the type of thing children are concerned about from day one. But—what do you mean by "humans were almost unlikeable?" Do you mean to say that the monsters are in the right for attacking humans? What do you mean "almost"? Are there some among them who are different and kind? Isn't that just reality?—putting aside the monsters, I mean. Not to be pessimistic—I love people—but if you were to consider humans at face value they really haven't been great to the world—and there've been plenty of times we haven't been great to each other either. Also, are the monsters attacking them for food? Out of survival? Or, are they just brutally genocide-ing them? Have the people developed defenses against them, given how frequent the occurrence is? Finally—it's cut short—but I assume the what if is "what if aliens colonized Earth?" Pff—who do they think they are, America? Sick burns aside, it's a good idea—alien invasions are a classic, so foregoing that and looking into a future where the invasion is successful and Earth has already been colonized? Lovely. Where are the humans? Have they been eradicated? Are they forced to labor? Are they livestock for food? Are they kept in a zoo? Are they kept in a lab? Are they treated cordially as neighbors? What about other animals? What of the cities? Have aliens recycled or preserved our structures? Or, have they flattened them? What about the environment? Are they as toxic to the environment as we are?

I like the idea of what if dream works took pixar. I think a cross over film would be very interesting.

I like the idea of aliens colonizing earth. I'm curious what character perspective you take to tell this story, humans or aliens? What are the rules of this new world? I also gravitate towards reading people's minds. Is that just one character with that power or all humans? How would this change how people relate to one another if they can't privately hold thoughts? What chaos or benefit would it provide?
PD
The most interesting idea to me is the idea of aliens attacking humans, but we are on the aliens side, that's funny. Makes me wonder what the aliens would do with all the humans and if they could change them? I'm torn as I also like this idea of aliens colonizing earth has potential - can't wait to see what you go with

The idea I found most interesting was "what if dreamworks took pixar?". It make me wonder more about what kind of films they would make and what would happen to Toy Story?
