my own Comments up coming pixars animations movies

1.Cars 2?

I'm sure it was a big hit with the NASCAR crowd, but it's a credability killer. I love everything Pixar, but that's a bad move. Among people I talk to, Cars is considered one of the WORST Pixar films next to A Bug's Life.

2.Cameron, you're right, my fault, everything BUT Princess and the Frog is in 3D.

Okay, to make a comment about Cars 2. I see more kids wearing shirts for Cars than ANY other shirts these days. It's hugely popular with children, which is a demographic we sometimes all forget about. I thought Cars wasn't that bad, BUT, I'm certain it's way more popular on DVD with kids than we will ever know - thus why a sequel is worth it to them. We'll still all see it too no matter what, right?

3.What happened to Rapunzel:Unbraided ?
Do you know if that was the same project or what? I was under the impression that it was going to be a new Disney piece (could be wrong about it being Disney though.)
3D's all well and good, but we need some classic 2D happening more often.
I'm stoked for Princess and the Frog.

4.I can't say much about McQueen and Mater traveling to Europe and/or Japan for CARS 2, since those manufacture "big-cheese" autos with character. It sounds appealing for VISUALS. However, I can talk about a potential conflict given the fact that McQueen isn't cocky and over-confident anymore, which was a major important aspect that drove CARS. What's his turn around this time? It led from the initial conflicts towards the character's inner crisis, bringing him to his lowest low, and to finally his 180 degree change. What could possibly be done now? Hopefully it won't have anything to do with him and Sally getting married like Circle 7 and Disney had planned some time ago.


5.I also disagree with Pixar pumping out at least 1 film a year. You're just going to end up mass-producing stories that aren't strong or creative. I'm already cringing at the thought of The Bear and the Bow. It really reminds me of the latest Disney films. The "kingdom princess" story has been beaten to death, and I can personally never associate with any of those characters. Who lives like that? At least it won't be a musical… right?

I DO like Up's concept. Hopefully the approach will be a hit instead of just 80 Days Around the World. Toy Story 3 seems like a hit and miss, and I know I'm sounding a little too judgmental already with the aforementioned comments but… what, this time Buzz has to go somewhere?


6.This post is a very informative look at the upcoming Disney and Pixar schedule, and it caused me to reconsider the landscape of animation today. While it seems like every is looking for the next film to turn into a 3-D masterpiece, I feel what is really being lost in the shuffle is traditional 2-D animation. Now that nearly every film being announced is being upgraded from computer generated images to 3-dimensional computer generated images, the idea of 2-D films of any type is not even spoken about.

While I feel like this advent of 3-D technology can potential push the boundaries of film, it seems to me the technology is moving too fast and without consideration of the artistic consequences. It seems like since the release of Shrek, studios have forgotten that a animated film cannot be successful if presented in the hand drawn style of classics like Beauty and the Beast and Lion King. The animated landscape must remain diverse, or else it is bound to become stagnant and bland. While films like Shrek, the Toy Story films and Finding Nemo have made tremendous marks in both the box office and in cinema canon, I'm sure that are few film fans who have seen The Wild, Happily N'ever After and Open Season, let alone heard of them. This new lush animation style has made every film visually stunning, complete with goofy animal characters and exotic locales, but simply place three random animals with celebrity voices and wacky adventure do not make a film. While the release of The Princess and the Frog is promising for traditional animation, it is the first of its type from Disney's 2004 Home on the Range. The films continue to get flashier, but I fail to believe that they are getting better written, and I feel that while this schedule is promising, its ultimately more of the same.

1.damn all the pixar stuff i'll look forward to. also to note there are 2 pixar films coming out in 2011, wow! boo to CARS 2 though

2.I loved it when Pixar had ONE film every ONE to TWO years. Now it seems like they're just throwing them in a machine and mass producing them. Kinda sad (albeit still exciting)

3.Hold the phone it's all 3D after Wall-E, including all the traditional animation, take that dreamworks. Also I only new about Up and Toy Story stuff so this is great news. But Cars 2? It's pretty much their worst film and the plot sounds like Burnout or Need for Speed but not as silly as Madagascar 2.

Bolt - November 26th, 2008 (In 3D)

Bolt - November 26th, 2008 (In 3D)

Directed by: Chris Williams and Byron Howard For super-dog Bolt (voiced by John Travolta), every day is filled with adventure, danger and intrigue — at least until the cameras stop rolling. When the canine star of a hit TV show is accidentally shipped from his Hollywood soundstage to New York City, he begins his biggest adventure yet — a cross-country journey through the real world. Armed only with the delusions that all his amazing feats and powers are real, and with the help of two unlikely traveling companions — a jaded, abandoned housecat named Mittens (voiced by Susie Essman), and TV-obsessed hamster in a plastic ball named Rhino — Bolt discovers he doesn't need superpowers to be a hero. Miley Cyrus ("Hannah Montana") brings her vocal talents to the role of Penny, Bolt's human co-star on the television series

Pixar's Wall-E - June 27th, 2008

Directed by: Andrew Stanton (A Bug's Life,Finding nemo ) . After hundreds of lonely years doing what he was built for, WALL•E (short for Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth-Class) discovers a new purpose in life (besides collecting knick-knacks) when he meets a sleek search robot named EVE. EVE comes to realize that WALL•E has inadvertently stumbled upon the key to the planet's future, and races back to space to report her findings to the humans (who have been eagerly awaiting word that it is safe to return home). Meanwhile, WALL•E chases EVE across the galaxy and sets into motion one of the most incredible comedy adventures ever brought to the big screen

Disneyand pixars full aninmated line up through 2012

Disney and Pixar unveiled their complete animated movie line-up from 2008 to 2012 today at a press conference in New York. Featured in their announcement is a diverse and ambitious slate of 13 new animated feature films, most of which will be featured in 3D. As has been the case recently, Disney will be releasing two major animated movies per year - one Pixar and one Disney. Starting in 2009, however, we'll be treated to 2 pixar movies per year: 3D versions of Toy Story (in '09) and Toy Story 2 (in '10) as well as Up (in '09) and Toy Story 3 (in '10) and Newt and The Bear and the Bow (in '11). In addition, pixar also announced a new movie - Newt - for 2011. Disney also has a promising line-up of their own, including an adaptation of a Philip K. Dick story titled King of the Elves.


the philip Dick based on story King of the elves .which everyone seems to be interested in the most, is about a gas station attendant in Mississippi who befriends a group of elves who can hide in the trees because they're covered with leaves and foliage. He allows them to seek shelter from the rain and they thus dub him their king. Anything Philip K. Dick is usually quite interesting, and based on that alone, I'm excited. Unfortunately they're probably going to change the focus to be more family friendly, but oh well. You can read more about the film at the very bottom
