Pixar's Nov 2013 and May 2014 announced at D23 Expo!
Hey folks, Harry here... Right now, Quint is in the heart of the beast. He'll be filling us in soon, but PIXAR brought out Bob Peterson (co-director & writer of UP) and Peter Sohn (directed that crazy cute PARTLY CLOUDY short) and the producer of the INCREDIBLES, John Walker to announce that the November 27th, 2013 Pixar release would essentially take place in a modern day world in which the Gulf of Mexico never had a giant asteroid collide into it, thus taking out the dinos. No. Instead, they're amongst us - and this particularly story looks to be about a boy and his pet brontosaur - you can see some of the designs from an old Pixar photo from a couple of years ago:
See it there? Well that's for this film
Then, the Pete Docter "May 30, 2014" project - will be a film set entirely inside the Human Mind. It is being described as being "Wildly Ambitious even for Pixar" - and I have no doubt of that. Can't wait for Quint to tell us more!

That could be pretty sweet. My thoughts immediately go to Inception, but I'm sure Pixar will bring us something we've never seen before.

betterlookingthanyou - see the photos on the wall to the right?
by benbraddock
That's what Harry's referring to, dumbo
-
Sweeeet.
-
LMAO, did you miss the big picture of a dinosaur with a kid?
-
And that is holding a balloon? Wow, Pixar is really recycling their material...
...or Harry's a dumbass. -
Or just a bad photo?
I can't make out a thing in any of those pictures on the wall.
And its nice to hear Pixar is trying something "wildly ambitious," after this string of revisiting the well of Toy Story 3, Cars 2, and Monsters Inc the prequel hopefully they have enough bank to need to waste more time in the Cars universe or rehashing Toy Story. -
Look at the pictures behind the model maker on the wall.
These concepts sound great - anything would be an improvement over the abortion that was Cars 2. Loving the promise of ORIGINAL works coming out of Pixar again. -
First you miss the pic, then act like settled science is some sort of Internet rumor.
An astroid that hit the Yucatan and the gulf 65 million years ago.
But don't feel bad. Pretty boys just need to look pretty. And this fact's only been known for 25 years.
Spoiler alter: Hitler lost World War II.

Cars 2 was the most entertaining movie I saw this summer
by darthvedder81
That probably says more about the other movies than Cars 2 but I still had a fun time watching it.
-
That's their best shot?
-
Sequels make money.
Pixar use money make good new stuff.
New stuff entertain us geeks.
Sequels entertain everyone else.
Everybody win.
Somehow, this is a problem. -
Around March 2010, is the answer to your question. Google "Chicxulub crater"
-
in that picture?

You just know the intelligent design crowd will eat this up...
by weylandyutani
They will probably use this PIXAR/Flintstones Redux as proof that the Earth is 6,000 years old and that people walked with dinosaurs at least until the great flood.
Yeah... I can be an asshole sometimes. Still, I am looking forward to this - should be fun. -
have a great opening, you bet! followed by a a very slow and sluggish, 2nd/third act, you bet! and of course a rousing final act which will involve a chase of some kind. you bet!
-
wgas..they will just make something derivative and overrated like their recent filmic output.
-
or is it an excuse for being retarded?
Over to the jury to decide -
Pedantic, but there is no such thing as a brontosaurus. It's called an apatosaurus.
-
Damnit now that sounds GREAT.
-
seriously, some of you folks make me sad.
-
It's cropped on the right by the 'top talkbacks' column on my screen, as it apparently is on many other people's too. I'm no computer wonk, so I'm just guessing it has to do with whom you're using- I'm on Firefox. This happens to me all the time on this site; I had to go to Slashfilm to see the pics in question.
-
not that yeardley smith vehicle- the comic from the uk. that's what i want.
-
Yes, something about AICNs coding seems to be not friendly to some browsers, the pic is embedded in a way that the "Top Talkbacks" bar on the right of the screen covers the right side of the image, basically cutting it off right at the clock. It wasn't until I clicked it to open it in a new tab that I was able to see the whole image. Before that I just assumed some how some of you were able to make out the blurry images on the cork board.
-
Yeah. 1986 sounds about right for that discovery.
It was even referenced a few years later in a movie about dinosaurs. I think it was called Jurassic Park. It was awhile ago. You might have missed it in one of your modeling gigs.
Good try with the science journals line. Next time try reading them. The front cover pictures are pretty, but there's good stuff on the inside too. Then stuff in text books won't seem like 'news to me.'
But keep plugging away. You'll catch up!
-
On another topic, something about "alternative history" always annoys me. It's as if the writer wants to do something otherworldy and cool, but lacks the imagination to completely create something new, so he does a "real world" story with whatever fantastical elements he wishes he could write about.
Or sometimes it seems the writer doubts audiences' capacity to be entertained by anything that doesn't have monsters or aliens or special effects in it, so he adds them to stories where they have no place.
Either way, it grates on me. -
For those with a PC, "CTRL minus" the window, and the picture should come full frame, if you're zoomed in then it gets cropped..
-
When someone misspells a simple, one-syllable word (like reeks) and denigrates mentally retarded people at the same time.

No Pixar sequels in the immediate aside from Monsters U...nice
by nasty in the pasty
I hope that Cars 2 turns out to be an anomoly in the Pixar filmography.
-
Thor
K. Panda 2
X Men
Rango
Rio
and probably Captain America
just saying -
I don't have a name to suggest but anything but the "May 30, 2014" project. I mean what if they decide to change the release date?
-
The assholes stating the obvious (yes we know there is a picture at the back) or the assholes who don't recognise that the picture is fucking cropped for a lot of people?
-
That's the next pixar, right? Set in college? Think it will be more like Revenge of the Nerds or The Social Network, but with monsters? By the way, just read the book Scary School. It really gets the humor with monsters thing right.
-
guaranteed for this dino movie. And no, not because the photos are brown but because the sculptures of that kid have african american features.
-
Will this be like Danny and the Dinosaur? I loved that book when I was a kid.
-
I was beginning to get concerned about the lack of new original films from Pixar. Modern-day Flintstones sounds interesting but a 'wildly ambitious' Pixar version of Inception is to be savoured.
Now how's King Of The Elves doing? -
Took me a minute to realize. I was confused at first. Wasn't sure if Harry meant the Carl statue or the very obscured photos right next to the guy's head.
There's more to the right.
If it hasn't been point out already just right click and copy image location and paste the URL into your browser and voila!
Nothing special in the designs. Surely they've been worked over a few times by now. -
Copied and pasted the pic into my photo album just to be sure, and there was the Dino.
However, all talkbacks are full of dumbasses, but this particular talkback made one of me, admittedly. -

If you can make out any of the photos behind the artist.......
by velvet_sloane
.......Then you should go to specsavers because your eyesight is terrible!! -
Seems they are back to the original stuff for the next 4 years, except Monster University, which doesn't seem as much of a bad idea as Cars 2 was. OK, count me in on all of those.
-
That was just some stupid shit AICN threw around, right?

Of course, if the dinosaurs hadn’t gone extinct there wouldn’t be any humans around, but I’ll roll with it.
by franks_television
I don’t think we can ever know all the details of what led to the extinction of dinosaurs, which was a long process and probably had many contributing factors, but it seems like there is a pretty strong consensus among paleontologists that the asteroid impact was probably the major contributing factor.
I like the talkbackers in here who claim to be regularly reading scientific journals in their leisure time. I am an actual scientist and I only read the articles that I have to read for my work, because they are incredibly dull to read. Unless you need to know the exact details of a particular experiment, it’s much easier to get general information about new scientific findings from other types of sources. -
Scientific American, National Geographic, Natural History Magazine, etc. Plus any number of scientific news websites. All of those sources will break down and summarize the more important scientific findings in different fields. The only reason to turn to the actual journals is if you are a scientist and need to know the specifics of a particular study.
Some scientists will subscribe to Science or Nature and skim through the article titles to see if there is anything important going on in their field or related fields that they have some interest in, but that’s about it.
