Disney/Pixar's Next Four Years

[tealin]

Read the press release HERE!

Of course, if I had written it, you'd be able to tell because it would read normally until you got to this:

Rapunzel (2010)
OMG YOU GUYS SO AWESOME!!!!!

That is why they don't hire me to write these things.


I shall post links to the officially released artwork and suchlike when it appears ...

Thank you for posting this! I'm so excited for "The Princess and the Frog"!!!!!!!

And ALSO for the "Bear and the Bow" because yaaaay Emma Thompson! And Reese :)

[twirlynoodle.livejournal.com]

And Brenda Chapman!

And Billy Connolly - imagine that, getting an actual SCOT to do a Scottish accent. [glares in Dreamworks' general direction]

[noodledaddy.livejournal.com]

Will he get to say "Jim Jim Jimmy, Jim Jim Jim?"

Aside from WALL*E, which I only got excited about when I saw the actual Trailer , the only film in there that excites me is King of the Elves.

Rapunzel is going to be so mindblowing. I already go apeshit thinking about it!

[twirlynoodle.livejournal.com]

DUDE, ME TOO.

It makes it hard to get work done, ironically.

[stevie-roch.livejournal.com]

YAAAAAAAY.

I didn't see any mention of 'Incredibles 2' in the news release, unfortunately .... :-(

(I assume there hasn't been a direct-to-DVD release of further Incredibles adventures or anything like that? I haven't seen anything of such; would love it if there was)

[twirlynoodle.livejournal.com]

No no, I think it's a matter of a)Brad Bird being too busy to direct it and/or b)Brad Bird being too busy to even pitch an idea. Or maybe he doesn't want to make a sequel. He doesn't seem like much of the sequel type; he seems more like 'Been there, told that story, done now, new thing!' type of guy. He's working in live action now, believe it or not, on 1906 (http://www.darkhorizons.com/news08/080313h.php).

'S funny, on one side are the people who go 'Mwuhhh, everything is sequels nowadays!' and on the other are 'Where's my Incredibles 2?' I suspect there might even be some line-hopping going on.

[poisonedwriter.livejournal.com]

I think they came as close as they were ever going to when they released a sequel for the gaming consoles. I never actually played it, but it was The Incredibles: The Rise of the Underminer (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underminer)

[jesskat.livejournal.com]

I'm usually in the "no more sequels!" camp ("Cars 2"? "Toy Story 3"? Why, Pixar, why? I thought we understood each other :( ), "The Incredibles" is one of the few movies that I think actually could have a sequel and work. The ending just seemed to beg for more. I'd be happy either way, whether they decide to leave it as it is or go ahead and do another story with the characters. All the rest of Pixar's movies stand well on their own and I think sequels to them are pretty unnecessary.

P.S.

[twirlynoodle.livejournal.com]

I get the impression that Pixar would rather sell everything it owns and go into seclusion than ever, ever make a direct-to-video sequel (a la recent Disney).

Re: P.S.

[madderbrad.livejournal.com]

Well, I saw a 'Cars 2' sequel in that lot, so I'm going to keep my fingers crossed anyway.

Thanks for confirming that Mr. Incredible and family haven't been seen since the first movie :-)

Cars 2 is not a surprise - that's a Lasseter film, Lasseter made Toy Story and Toy Story 2, and Cars by all accounts was his pet project. But it won't be a direct-to-DVD cheapquel.

[pandoras-chaos.livejournal.com]

'the bear and the bow' and 'king of the elves' actually sound pretty good. i can't believe they're making a 'toy story 87 3' meh.

[twirlynoodle.livejournal.com]

Toy Story 3 was a major bargaining chip in Disney's acquisition of Pixar. Basically it went like this:

DISNEY: Hey guys, want to make Toy Story 3?
PIXAR: No.
DISNEY: C'moooonnnnn...
PIXAR: No.
DISNEY: Ah, but, we own the characters and the distribution rights so WE're going to make it, and it's going to be AWFUL!
PIXAR: NO! Don't do that!
DISNEY: You can't stop us.
PIXAR: Please! Okay, we'll do it, just don't hurt our Toy Story!
DISNEY: You can only have it back ... if you marry me. [twirls moustache]

[noodledaddy.livejournal.com]

Nope, you are not the least bit funny.

[twirlynoodle.livejournal.com]

I'm just tellin' it like it is.

[noodledaddy.livejournal.com]

But in a very non-unfunny manner.

[jesskat.livejournal.com]

"very non-unfunny"

Sooo....funny, then?

[noodledaddy.livejournal.com]

Since Twirly is nearly always correct, I'd have to agree with her and say she is not funny. She is more humorous, comical, witty, amusing, waggish, entertaining, jocular, or laugh-inducing than "funny."

[noodledaddy.livejournal.com]

Unless you think of "funny" as "strange." In that case. . . . oh yeah.

[beckychan.livejournal.com]

I'm EXCITED! Of course I'm looking forward to Rapunzel, but I'm also spazzing of The Bear and the Bow.

[phonixa.livejournal.com]

THEY ALL SOUND SO GOOD.

*dies*

AGH DISNEY FIND MY PORTFOLIO. *sobs bitterly*

[floramir.livejournal.com]

Yahoo had this picture accompanying their article about the Disney line up:
http://news.yahoo.com/nphotos/slideshow/photo//080408/482/4ccf0881935c43fdaf0d92e905c40da5/

That was the first time I had seen that picture, so I'm assuming it must be newer, right?

Who's supposed to do the music for Rapunzel? Will it have songs? It HAS to! I'm also hoping that Kristin Chenoweth won't be in it anymore...

[twirlynoodle.livejournal.com]

AAH THAT IS NEW! THANK YOU FOR POSTING IT!! I LOVE THIS MOVIEE!!!!!

I don't think Kristen Chenoweth is attached anymore as she was part of the previous (terrible terrible) version, but as far as I know no casting decisions have been made.

"YAY!!!!" *dances*

And, you are welcome.
