Dear Mr Lasseter, I'm writing this to you & I hope that you will read it so you'll know...
John, if I may call you that, Harry here with a bit of an open letter proposal to you. With Roy Disney gone, I'm quite concerned that we won't have people digging into the treasure trove of archives to bring "while Walt was alive" projects to life. Take for example this video that has popped up onto YouTube - which is, as you can see, the pencil test for an unfinished Mickey Mouse cartoon directed by Jack Kinney in 1951.
It was shelved as being an awkward length of 6 minutes and 52 seconds. Now just imagine how cool it would be for DISNEY to finish one of the great unfinished, all but the ink & paint, Disney classics. Put it in front of one of the Disney PG releases. Hell, it could even possibly earn an Oscar for Jack.
Meanwhile to the audience, it would show a level of respect for classic Disney in the post-Roy Disney years - and provide a technical challenge in bringing this to full life. And as fans yourselves - you'd be working hand in hand with the great Fred Moore & Cliff Nordberg and all the others that put so much great artistry into this.
Marry the magic of modern Disney with this classic Disney. It is the only thing to do when presented with material like this - and when you're in control of the Animation division. Ask Mark Caballero how great it made him feel to help Ray Harryhausen finish his last Stop Motion Fairy Tale classic, THE TORTOISE AND THE HARE. And remember how exciting it was to hear about DESTINO being finished and produced. C'mon... ya know ya wanna... Do it for Walt and Jack and all the guys that made us love that company to begin with. Right?
Harry Knowles
P.S. Thanks to Jr Mintz for the heads up!

Is Mickey drinking away his sorrows at the beginning?

There's gotta be one. -
Can't fool me, I know what I saw, I know what I saw dagnabbit! LASSITER not LASSETER!
-
I remember, BACK IN MY DAY, (lol) when there were classic cartoons on Disney CONSTANTLY. WB stuff was aired all the time too. Kids today are missing out on some of the best animation ever made.
-
They weren't that good to begin with.
Just move on and make new stuff and stop kissing the butt of days gone buy. -
thats awesome.how did you find it Harry?
-
I liked that cartoon
-
Gotta give the big guy credit, the short IS good enough to be redone and put before a good feature film.
-
The theme of alcoholism would be a tough sell on kids
-
I always liked Bugs Bunny more than Mickey Mouse, but this certainly is very sweet and very enjoyable.
-
I have the same allergy to Old Navy Rum and Sloe Gin. Agree with DarthS..a pissed up brawlin' bee ain't coming from Pixar. I wonder what the grasshopper has for a physical or psycological issue?

seriously

not bugs bunny not mickey mouse. not anything please kill them all

If those Pixar boys want an award winning side project, how about re-working Captain Jacko..Similar to what we expect from Zemeckis with Yellow Submarine..keep the audio but with 3D wammo new digital visuals. Fitting tribute to Jacko, Pixar/Disney update the attraction, and Lucas gets a few quid from the Blu Ray (*ahem*including the original version).
-
a little too One Froggy Evening, doncha think?
-
...is the old Mickster. Started off as an "Americanization" of Felix the Cat, when people still viewed Felix as an Australian or 'worldly' character. That is until Canemakers one-size-fits-all revisionism. What does Mickey do/stand for/symbolise, may I ask?
-
Kindly take your trolling elsewhere and let us old fogies enjoy our cartoons.
And MrDexter, if this was really directed in 1951, then it beat One Froggy Evening by nearly four years. It's more reminiscent of any number of entertainers who've had their careers derailed by vices rather than a greedy huckster being fleeced by his own product. One Froggy Evening is funnier and far more brilliant in any sense, though, Chuck Jones didn't need a constant narrative to tell a great story. -
I'm sure John Lasseter will respond to that poorly written doggerel, Harry.How's the Inception review coming along, big chap? Do you need some help in transcribing it from chunky crayon scribblings and big letters?

I can't wait to see the Flynn's Arcade short before Legacy.
by ultratron
Lasseter is directing it himself. How fun it will be to see all the antique arcade machines come to life in pixar fashion. I'm amazed how they've been able to keep this secret.
-
I'm not kidding! Disney himself liked ass jokes and you can see it in the cartoons.
-
Remember when the Disney Channel was actually a pay channel, back when Adventures In Wonderland was pretty much their only original show. Now all that seems to be on it is tween sitcoms.
I also recall a time in the late 90's when they would air stuff from the disney vaults just before the channel would go off the air around midnight. Usually it would be something like the short featured above, but sometimes they'd have videos of Walt Disney himself talking about behind the scenes stuff from the Studio. I don't know why, but it was strangely comforting to see those things. -

for Roy to finally get a mention from this site. Sorry, but to suddenly name drop Roy, and hold him on high as the lifelong protector of the Walt Disney Co. legacy that he was, when there was no mention of him nor his lifelong dedication to animation when he passed; makes the current platitudes seem hollow, cheap and less than heartfelt. It is akin to what Eisner would do back in the 90's, trot Roy out at media events, then stick him back in animations and put him on ignore until needed again.
-
I read about a Goofy short being produced about setting up a TV. What happened? Did it run in front of some shitty Disney live action movie and never get seen by anybody?
-
Yes, Zemeckis confirmed casting long ago for Yellow Sub...don't fret, theBeatles original tunes will still be intact, but new graphics (mo-cap etc)...My point is Disney/Pixar could do worse than a redo of Captain Eo with some hot digital visuals..the Philharmagic movie at DisneyWorld has a lot going for it using original soundtrack, but with 3D graphics in place of some of the original animation.
-
Oh sorry, wrong forum.
-
I love classic Disney but they don't need to redo old unfinished stuff, I'm sure there is enough unfinished Pixar stuff right now. Disney left stuff for years then came back if he thought it would work later.
-
fuck Mickey!!
-
oh hey yeah, you guys remember that awesome savlador dali/walt disney collab they dick teased us with a few years back, but nobody got to see unless they went to some festival in italy or some crazy shit, let alone OWN on dvd, despite disney's aborted "plan" to do so. funny that we STILL don't see that coming out. disney has shown time and time again that they go where the money is... and they simply can't bear to part with a tiny bit of profit in order to honor an artistic vision. prove me wrong, disney empire. prove me wrong.
-
really appreciated Mr Lasseter
-
like now
-
Dont think he really cares who you broke bread with.
-
I love seeing these old toons unearthed. @Tibbar "Destino" was released in front of "Triplets of Belleville" in the States.
-
Yes, Zemeckis confirmed casting long ago for Yellow Sub...don't fret, theBeatles original tunes will still be intact, but new graphics (mo-cap etc).
But thats the point.YS is about both the tunes AND the animation,the complete package is what makes this specific work of art.Replacing the animation with something else is like replacing DaVinci's Mona Lisa with Warhall's Mona Lisa.Its not the same fucking thing,regardless if its about the same theme,story,message,etc.
I think Zemeckis with YS is trying to get the mo-cap/cgi technology to its next commercial use: bring back iconic celebrities who will look as real as possible.who wouldnt want to watch new movies with the "revived" Beatles singing or the "revived" Bogart in a Casablanca sequel? thats what the actors were afraid of with Avatar,thats why they fucked it in the Oscars and they criminally ignored Zoe's performance as Neytiri. -

what the hell does that guy pour into that glass and drink with his eye after looking through the binoculars? i don't get that part... that was some screwy shit.
-
..comes out on the fantasia blu-ray in november, along with a documentary about it.
-
I'm not Zemekis, i don't know what his long term plan is but he's not 'replacing' the original yellow submarine, the original will still be there.
I don't like the Beatles anyway..just trying to illustrate my point about Captain Eo looking 80's dated and as basically a pop video it lends itself to having new visuals..and Pixar have the talent to make something fresh out of it with their computerised magic dust.
-
I think actors are beginning to realise mo-cap is still about acting, perhaps more so than when the technology was new...but it's poor results at the oscars can be put down to a lot of things, more than just actors voting against because they fear the technology.
Anyway back to the point.. -
...did much better with a same theme and is a real indicator to why Chuck Jones/Warner Brothers was a goddamn genius. This is typical Disney for me, in that it's very beautifully executed and designed but bland as vanilla and lacking bite.
-
if anything else the actors seem to be completely ignorant about the whole mo-cap technology.in an interview with last year's oscar nominated actors,when they were asked about their opinion on mo-cap,they replied that "Fantastic Fox is a milestone in mo-cap"..
Only Bridges had any clue about this technology,obviously because of his involvement on TRON2.But although Bridges said that he likes the technology and that it is the future,Freeman on the other hand completely trashed it together with Avatar for completely ridiculous reasons (actors depend on makeup and costume? really? does this mean that Hamill is always on Joker makeup when he is voicing him?.)
I think most of the actors are not well informed about this technology,thats why they are afraid of it and dismiss it. -
What, enough crocodile tears haven't been shed over that drugged-up boychaser?
-
I'd say get animation students to contribute to this one: Calarts in California, Capilano University in North Vancouver (and perhaps VFS, VanArts, Emily Carr, etc also in Vancouver), and Sheridan College in Ontario. There's a rich abundance of talent out there that could pay excellent homage to this. Here in Vancouver, BC alone we have around 12 animation schools pumping out 20-30 graduates each per year. We could certainly bring this to light as a labor of love.
-
how I'd approach this is carve up the pencil test into assigned sections. Each qualifying school is given X amount of minutes/seconds/frames to animate.
Qualifying or interested students would then get a certain amount of frames to ink and/or color.They would then submit it to a supervisor who would approve or reject the work or even ask for revisions.
And there'd be a "color bible" to make sure there was a level of consistency. -
I mean, how hard can it be? It's basically just a case of colouring in and I was doing that back in preschool.
-
... i know what you did last summer. The envelope with the 500,000 dollars in cash is to be placed at the usual place, or else you are going youtube.
-
I'd just like to say thanks for bringing Disney back from the edge of irrelevance. The story of Pixar's love/hate relationship with Disney is amazing and inspirational for anyone dealing with creative friction. With the studio's move into live-action filmmaking I hope that Pixar can poise itself to become a major player in all things film, not just animation. Just a fan saying that I and many like me admire the dedication to quality.
-
Disney butter left and i'm jonesing for some toast. What would you prescribe? Also, thanks for making me, a 28 year old aloof guy, weep like a little bitch for half the Pixar movies. Ratatouille is still my favourite since it turned myself and my girlfriend into kids after and we had a pillow fight which led to some sexy injuries. I thank you. Mel
-
Learn the lessons that so many fail to grasp: Ignore us. We ruin good things by overthinking them. We've made it so we can't enjoy Star Wars because it's not like it used to be and we whine about comic book adaptions we don't get input on. We don't know what we want...we just want to gripe, until we suddenly change our minds.
Keep being awesome. You're doing fine following your own star. We'll come to the theater, don't worry. -
Don't forget to ignore what that last guy said, as is his dying wish. ;)He's right though...you own me for life.
-
NICE
-
...was a genius until he decided that Daffy Duck should go to Mexico and spend his time chasing a mouse and that Tom and Jerry should be friends who are always following treasure maps and shit. Sometimes the greats really do fall hard.
-
Oh god yes. For every 'Duck Dodgers', 'Claude the Cat' or 'Zipping Along' there were two or three 'Sniffles' type efforts as punishment. Yep.
-
Zemekis was replacing the auido as well.
-
Damned lack of editing controls.
-
Felix the cat ripoff, indeed. What deplorable ignorance riddles that statement. Is a Ferrari a ripoff of the Model T? Mickey was and IS the gold standard. Yep, Bugs and company were sublime, yet none of those characters have the cultural resonance Mickey has. Facts is facts. And he could still be revived, and be great again - witness the zany wonders of the 1995 Mickey Mouse theatrical short "Runaway Brain" which is EPIC AWESOMENESS. Harry is right. That little pencil test needs to be brought into full production. If Disney can throw cash into the money pit that is the Muppets then goddamn they can spend a little coin on a true Disney character and the character that used to represent Disney's soul - when it HAD a soul. Make it so, Lasseter. And kudos to Harry for bringing this lost gem to light.
-
Just like you said, at night after prime time ended you never knew what they'd show - episodes of tv shows from the 50's and 60's, classic era cartoon shorts, clips of Walt talking about Disney projects, promotion reels from various Disney movies, black and white news reel footage of major disney movie premieres, segments from the Wonderful World of Disney Show, live action Disney movies from the 50's, 60's, & 70's (lots of young Kurt Russell), nature shorts, etc. etc. It was addicting as heck.

Did we learn nothing from A.i.? Wait...I liked A.i.
-
I can't help but think that Disney as an actual animation studio (as opposed to corporate giant) is done. I think Disney needs to start creating 2d animated movies aimed at adults and leave the family entertainment to Pixar. ALthough, who knows. Now word is out that Pixar is just another cog in the corporate machine and will be pumping out movies just to pad the corporate coffers, maybe they will fall out of grace just as quickly as Disney themselves have.

In today's day and age, you know uptight "media watchdogs" would complain about the bee's flower addiction.
-
It means unlimited copyright dates on intellectual property for giant media conglomerates. Mickey should be public domain just like all the public domain fairy tales that old uncle Walt made into animated classics.
-
As a hardcore Disney fanboy, this makes my day! I doubt this cartoon ever sees the light of day, but it looks damn nice flickering across my computer screen. Thank you, Harry!
-
The Disney Channel has gone down the crapper over the years. They used to show classic Disney stuff, but now show nothing but tween sitcoms.
I would love to see a "Classic Disney" channel. WHO'S WITH ME??? -

"Dear Mr. Gable, I am writing this to you, and I hope that you will read it so you know...my heart beats like a hammer and I stutter and I stammer every time I see you at the picture show. I guess I'm just another fan of yours and I thought I'd write and tell you so...you made me love you etc." Heh. Nice. And I bet most of the geekoids who are snarking about in this topic have no idea what you and I are talking about...the schlumps. Hell, if they don't value Mickey Mouse, they don't value animation or motion pictures in general, unless pixels are involved. Saaaddd....
-
An emotionally empty big-screen video game at best. While watching it I was alternately disengaged or just plain bored. You snots who are dissing Harry's idea of polishing a raw gem need to grow up a little. Hush, children, grownups are talking.

Sure, there are perpetual whiners. But I think you are "underthinking" thinks a little. Most fans were upset with Star Wars both because it was not like the old moves AND the new stuff was awful (filled with crap jokes and jar jar binks). I would have been fine if the new stuff was better, or even simply different.I look forward to Tron being that. And as for comic adaptions, I don't need input, just don't screw it up beyond recognition.
-
A bit too abrupt and unsatisfying. And a bit out of character for Mickey not to learn his lesson. (And did those two storyboard pages look weird or what???) Better if somehow the bee - and Mickey -triumphed in the end. And...I wonder if the reason Mickey doesn't speak is because the toon was made during the time Walt was worried about the voice? I read that he suspected Mickey's fading from popularity (before his mighty resurgence during the 1980's) was the high voice...anyway, if this short is brought fully to life, I strongly suggest a better ending, rewritten narration so that it sounds more like Mickey, AND make damn sure the narration is done in Mickey's voice. Otherwise it's terrific. And considering he's drawn in the "modern" style, that Mickey is pretty damn appealing. Again, make it so, Lasseter. Make it so.
-
I saw an excerpt of the song years ago and had no idea where it had come from. But I've never forgotten seeing it. Garland gets parodied like hell, but damn she was something when she was young and healthy.

failed to enjoy 3D IMAX Christmas carol which was the greatest disney ride ever done for a theater and had the most impressive use of 3D technology ever witnessed on film. There is no Yellow Submarine anymore. And yes the new goofy cartoon played before national treasure 2. It was great and I was happy to see it in a great theater.
-
A brilliant idea, Harry! What a welcome return to the classics that would be!
Man, makes me miss all that stuff back on The Wonderful World of Disney when I was growing up. -
We don't need old films restored, we need new original films. Call me when Disney start writing their own material, and not just "animating" classic stories and saying it's their's.

First, let me say that I'd *love* to see it happen myself, and I truly hope I'm proven wrong. However, there are a bunch of reason why I could see Disney/Pixar balking. 1) Mickey is off-model by current standards -- while some of us think of the 1950s Mickey as the definitive one, his design here would feel wrong to many (most?) viewers, these days. 2) Describing this short as having "all but the ink and paint" finished is decidedly a stretch. There are sections with noticeably unfinished in-betweening on the animation, and even a bit at the and that is only at the animatic stage. Would YOU want to be given the task of finishing that animation? Of animating the bit at the end almost from scratch? Similarly, the short has no score -- Disney's shorts from the period all had rich, lively scores, and this would absolutely necessitate the involved process of not only producing a new score, but making sure it was in keeping with the arrangement and feel of Disney's animation from 60 years ago. The short, despite appearances, is a long way from finished, I'm afraid. 3) The short doesn't conform to what modern audiences consider good pacing -- today's viewers would think of this as a loping, drawn-out meander of a story. If it were used as the short before, say, one of Pixar's films, it would read as dated and slow. Sad but true. 4) The short is full of dated references, settings, costumes and social mores: the "air wick" Mickey uses toward the end, the snooty-looking opera crowd in their finery, drinking being 'funny', even the phonograph -- when the audience for animation in America (and most other markets) is children, this puts a big ding in the theory that this is a likely project to be finished -- most studios don't put much faith in kids being able (or willing) to stay with a film featuring so many things to which they can't relate. I'm probably forgetting a couple of reasons as well, but I think the above list alone would prevent this from coming together. But hey! Maybe Pixar would do it just for the love. That'd be okay by me.

He told Harry to actually do dvd and movie reviews instead of just using his hollow shell of whatever "fame" or influence harry thinks he has to shil his personal wants and childhood desires he never got over (or never gets paid for...coughs coughs)

Does it mean I'd have to give up my decoder ring? FUCK! Do you know how many boxes of Cracker Jack I had to munch through find that thing? Oh well. I guess we all have to give up our geekness sometime. Frankly, I'm so close to the edge right now that I'm fully prepared to say FUCK TRON LEGACY if so required. Still, all is not lost. I'm still geeking out over that CGI Han Solo youtube video I just posted here. I'd rather be Classic Geek than New Geek, if you get my meaning...

I thought "fitting tribute to Jacko" would be the dumbest thing
by subtitles_off
I read on AICN this year, but then I read "criminally ignored Zoe's performance as Neytiri."Four months to go - that will not be topped.
-
This November.
-
Vacations, man. Missed you too. Good to be back and welcomed.
-
... and he said that he's short on the money hwe has to pay up for my blackmail, so he has to ask borrowed from Harry Knowles, his penpal. Harry, cough out the money now, i'm not a very pacient man and time is running out. John Lasseter's reputation as a human being is on the line now, and it's all on your shoulders. Or else it's Youtube, baby! And i refuse to accept Disney's money, i don't deal with blood money! I have standards!
-
Should read "thankfully ignored Zoe's performance as Neytiri.". Because what kind of a fool would play an alien as if she's some primadonna cheating stuck-up spoiled bitch from Cumpston?
-
Let's address a few more pressing issues:
1 - Okay, so you guys just spent 4 BILLION dollars on acquiring Marvel. So now are you going to continue to do everything on the cheap to compensate for that questionable expense? Rumblings on the internet seem to indicate this.
The timing here is questionable too because it appears the comic book hero culture has hit its apex in cinema and may start to wane significantly in popularity. I suggest drawing on the Apple policies of constant reinvention of properties and products to keep them fresh and interesting instead of the old Disney policies of preserving what everybody ONCE loved.
2 - How about continuing to clean house at the studio and especially at WDI and theme park operations. The Eisner era may have saved the company in 1984, but it was Frank Wells and his generous creativity that did the actual saving, not Eisner. I also recommend not outsourcing to incompetant, overpriced vendors (i.e. Garner Holt's lovely, dead Dragon on the Rivers of America).
After Wells passing, Eisner ran the creative energy and goodwill into the ground. My experience at WDI in 2001 was all but a nightmare having to constantly watch my back and navigate political mine fields rather than do my job. Getting a job at WDI was a step towards making a dream come true. Leaving WDI after a year later was a step towards preserving my sanity from a nightmare job coming true.
The place was (unaffectionately) refered to as Mouschwitz. From appearances, theme park operations are still being built and managed with the same culture of ultra-frugal incompetance through policies implemented by management during the backwards Eisner era.
As a huge theme park fan, I am also at my wits end with the incredible promises followed by dimished results in new attractions and park expansions not to mention the horrendous event operations and guest services. In fact, my guest experiences are beginning to rival my employee experiences and I (as well as mnay others) find myself beginning to avoid going to the parks instead of enjoying them.
It's confounding how Disney ignores the huge success of the 'spare no expense' policy of the OLC parks and continues to do everything on the cheap with all of the other parks
3 - Please don't tamper with Pixar; that is the one truly bright spot in the current Disney pantheon. Don't cut corners. Don't change policies. Don't change anything there.
I could go on and on but this since this is probably a waste of time, I'll stop. -
Phew! I was worried!
-
Good to know i was missed.
-
If there was every a studio that missed the bus. They only thing they have done right in 25 years is buy Pixar.
-
Man, you nailed it.
-
ripping off other stories for your Pixar movies, and attempt to come up with an original premise.
-
And this film shows it. It's by-the-numbers and lacks the spark of films like "The Band Concert," Thru the Mirror" or "Clock Cleaners."
-
Damn keyboard
-
I miss "Mouseterpiece Theater". Fashioned after PBS' "Masterpiece Theater" featured Disney shorts introduced by the stuffy, upcrust-ish George Plimpton, who would give interesting little bits of info (not un-like TCM's Robert Osborne). A healthy dose of Mickey, Goofy, Donald, and Pluto shorts...I would ABSOLUTELY love a Classic Disney Channel.
-
If any film deserves to be completed, shouldn't it be "The Thief & the Cobbler?" It's the greatest example of animation in the history of the artform, and Roy Disney was working on restoring/completing the film around 2003.
-
What they will probably do is replace the phonograph with a ipod, and THAT would suck. I say keep it classic, even my 2 and 3 yr olds know what a record player is.
-
The simple reason why is b/c Disney was always so stingy with the Mickey cartoons. Bugs and the Road Runner were on like every day and like, 2 hrs on Saturday.
Mickey? Pre-Disney channel? Back in the day? Maybe on Wonderful World of Disney once a month.
Bugs just outperforms Mickey. Just like the Energizer rabbit. -
So adorable.. He can barely keep the respect of his own flock. What makes him think a juggernaut like Disney is interested in fulfilling his wish list? While your at it why not demand the Song of the South DVD!
-
It's called a literary device. Harry is not writing an actual letter to Lasseter, you retard.
-
There was a new Goofy cartoon regarding hooking up a TV and other electronic equipment that was released and shown before National Treasure 2. It was pretty funny. I would love to see Disney complete this cartoon. I would also love to see a classic Disney Channel. I used to love it in the 80's and early 90's. It was great. Now it's garbage. They never show anything but made for Disney Channel trash.
-
Please release Black Hole on Blue Ray.
-
PLEASE ASK HARRY WHY HE NEVER WROTE AN OBIT FOR ROY DISNEY, AND COMPLETELY IGNORED THE EVENT OF HIS PASSING.

Lasseter and Pixar need to respond to the cancellation
by chemistryology
of NEWT, and to the corporate direction and independence of Pixar. I fear that it is turning into a sequel direct to video factory, the same way Michael Eisner turned the Disney that we grew up with into a sequel factory. Cars sucked! Cars 2 will suck. A Bug's Life sucked. Monsters Inc, blew. Toy Story 3 was average. Pixar is not flawless.
-
Please shut up.
-
I got the money. Thanks for paying. Your last summer secret is safe and sound, rest assured you have nothing to worry about now. A deal is a deal. Have a nice day.

I LOVE PIXAR and their movies. Each one has it's own identity and feel and I love watching them. But there is one glaring fact above all else, They have not made one that is just pure fun out and out from beginning to end, without going to a place that either gets too sad or too reflective. I gotta say, I've had enough of the heart strings being pulled, I wanna have FUN again, the only ones they have made the KINDA get close to this are, Cars , and I would say Incredibles...the prob with incredibles is the opening scene with the Suicide attempt and the machine guns being aimed a little kids. because of those specific things, I cannot watch the movie with my 5 year old as, I really don't want to have the conversation about WHY someone was trying to kill themselves until he is much older...PIXAR, PLEASE MAKE A FUN over the top enjoyable movie that doesn't need to get too emotional, I just want to have FUN...not think about things like how humans treat Rats, or how life sucks when we get old, or how we are going to destroy the world with our own trash...all great messages, but can we get back to fun please??? Just plain natural escapist fun??
-
for marvel when incredibles is the greatest superhero movie ever made?

oh wait...
