first? by loafroaster	Apr 14th, 2008 05:12:07 PM
nah...can't be...
BOOYA! by loafroaster	Apr 14th, 2008 05:14:14 PM
BTW, I was a bit dubious about TPATF when I first heard about it, but the more I hear, the more I like. It's about time we got a full-blown voodoo/cajun/louisiana jazz-style cartoon, I think the closest was that fat croc from All Dogs Go To Heaven...
some promising stuff here... by m_reporter	Apr 14th, 2008 05:14:19 PM
... those pixar dudes seem to have given disney's animation department a well needed kick in the butt.
Wow by Kurutteru Yatsu	Apr 14th, 2008 05:23:23 PM
Bolt sounds like it might turn out pretty cool. Looking forward to seeing some footage pop up soon.

tinkerbell porn? really?
I haven't been this excited about a bunch of Disney films since by O_Goncho	Apr 14th, 2008 06:05:26 PM
Blah, blah, etc, etc. Still, they all look so fun!
Especially Tinkerbell: North of Neverland by O_Goncho	Apr 14th, 2008 06:06:51 PM
lol
Thanks a lot Quint by eggart	Apr 14th, 2008 06:55:56 PM
Always interesting to hear about Disney pictures coming up. Some of these actually look good!
I only know this because i have a 4yr old daughter... by Somerichs	Apr 14th, 2008 06:59:07 PM
There's a series of Barbie movies featuring fairies that are making a buttload of money in the DTV market. I guarantee Disney saw that and these Tinkerbell movies are a direct result. They want their slice of that pie, or more likely the whole damn pie to themselves. I've seen most of these Barbie movies (again, the 4 yr old daughter), and they pretty much feature crappy CGI animation and piss-poor storytelling. I have to think Disney can pull off a much better "product," or at least I hope they can, cos I don't know how much more I can take of the adventures of Elina and Bibble...here's to hoping Mr. Lasseter isn't just blowing smoke up everyone's collective asses and these things really are halfway decent...
Quint, re: Tinkerbell hitting you... by Somerichs	Apr 14th, 2008 07:01:43 PM
you blew the setup; it was a perfect opportunity to pull out a perfect fairy-related movie quote...who can name it? "The bitch hit me with a toaster!"
YOU HAD ME AT MACHO MAN RANDY SAVAGE!!! by Err	Apr 14th, 2008 07:20:57 PM
OOOOOOOHHHHHH YEAH!
Up... by terrytips	Apr 14th, 2008 07:21:01 PM
...looks amazing. This Disney stuff is underwhelming. It is all about Pixar.
I like to dress like Tinkerbell by Barmat	Apr 14th, 2008 07:29:38 PM
and sometimes Shrek
wow.....nice lying there john by Bouncy X	Apr 14th, 2008 07:36:47 PM
so not only was it a lie that they scrapped the tinkerbell movie but they're making 4? wow....is brittany murphy still supplying her voice?
Tinkerbell & Friends by Chaosinabox	Apr 14th, 2008 07:58:22 PM
I'm sorry, but everything I hear about those Tinkerbell movies reminds me of Itchy and Scratchyland. "Yeah, you're too young to remember the short-lived 'Itchy and Scratchy and Friends.' They had to come up with some friends." I wonder which of Tinkerbell's friends is Disgruntled Goat?
Black people in Disney!! So that means VOODOO!!! by performingmonkey	Apr 14th, 2008 08:05:32 PM

You've got to laugh at that by performingmonkey	Apr 14th, 2008 08:08:13 PM
I really want The Princess and the Frog to work. But how will this and Rapunzel get by without pop culture references and crappy 2008-savvy voices??
John Carter by kidkosmic	Apr 14th, 2008 08:12:44 PM
So, did John Carter not make the cut??? I guess we won't be seeing the Warlord wreak havoc on Mars before 2012?
New Orleans... by jones1899	Apr 14th, 2008 08:31:08 PM
Can't wait for the New Orleans pic. A city with such style will be easy on the eyes for an animated flick. Course I guess there will be no flashing for beads...
is there any hand drawn stuff coming out? by kungfuhustler84	Apr 14th, 2008 08:41:37 PM
damn
DISNEY + PKD? by LORDRANDO	Apr 14th, 2008 09:29:43 PM
There is no way they do King of the Elves right. I mean, there is some killing in there as I recall. Does Disney do killing? And,.the short story translates to about 20 minutes of screen time tops, what nonsense will they add? And that bit about DaVinci and the like, it shows the hubris of Disney again, comparing their crappy digital renderings to the highest achievements in western art. Ridiculous.
Speaking of Disney animation...Ollie Johnston just died by Osmosis Jones	Apr 14th, 2008 10:02:58 PM
The last of Walt's "Nine Old Men". Now HE knew how to do it "old-school" (as he and Frank Thomas put it in their wonderful cameo in The Incredibles).
BTW, Tinkerbell is HOT! by Osmosis Jones	Apr 14th, 2008 10:04:23 PM

Mars And DaVinci by BartholomewNeff	Apr 14th, 2008 10:07:52 PM
Princess of Mars is considered live-action that is why it wasn't included. As for the DaVinci and others comments, the reason they used that is not hubris. It's the style they are going for. It looks pretty amazing, almost like watching a moving painting. Rapunzel is inspired look-wise by the painting "The Swing" by Jean-Honore Fragonard. And they got the look pretty darn close. I'm really looking forward to this one.
really looking forward to Up by kungfuhustler84	Apr 14th, 2008 11:02:50 PM

Great man, great animator by BartholomewNeff	Apr 15th, 2008 12:40:22 AM
Yeah, I read over at Blue Sky Disney about Ollie passing away. Truly sad. A legend that most people just don't realize.
How long before... by DucksNRoses	Apr 15th, 2008 10:18:41 AM
...we see Princess/Frog stuff show up in New Orleans Square? While I have to give credit for getting back into the cel animation they never should have left, they've given themselves all kinds of tie-ins to existing Disney properties. In addition to NO Square, the same creole theme is already at WDW in the Port Orleans resort. The classic Peter Pan croc/gator is at the pool there, as well at their Blizzard Beach water park. That all is just a nit to pick. I still have to give Iger and the Disney corporate folks props for consummating with Pixar and reviving the brand.
Can Somebody Explain to Me The Difference? by haitu	Apr 15th, 2008 02:16:30 PM
Between 3-D technology and the regular ole CG pixar used int he past cause i can't see the difference.
For the millionth time: ...Cars 2? ...Really?? by Flim Springfield	Apr 15th, 2008 06:19:29 PM

ok, love everything but... by billyhitchcock	Apr 16th, 2008 03:37:15 AM
...is it just me or is miley fuckface the most annoying human being ever spawned!!! her accent is surely the most annoying affectation ever heard. i am english and i do know how to talk properly so i may be in the minority, but i like american accents in general, but she sounds like she is chewing on her fucking face!!! please disney, keep her on the disney channel and don't spoil the beauty of the features by having her fuck them up!
oh yeah... by billyhitchcock	Apr 16th, 2008 03:40:31 AM
...i'm sure i'll be making a ton more friends by saying this but holly hunter completely ruined the incredibles for me! because of the same reason. i should worship that film but i could barely sit through it once!
but wheres the toy story 3???? by BurgerKing	Apr 16th, 2008 05:00:57 AM
WHERE
Left foot, Right foot. Left foot, Right foot. by finky089	Apr 16th, 2008 11:29:26 AM
Redheaded lady eating an apple. She takes a bite. Two bites, three bites. Ah, that part of that episode.
CARS 2 and not INCREDIBLES 2? Something's wrong here by Drath	Apr 17th, 2008 03:59:57 PM
The once smart guys at Pixar are looking a little less smart all of a sudden.
American Dog could be promising by drewlicious	Apr 17th, 2008 04:23:46 PM
I like the voice casting, especially James Lipton because that's just too appropriate. John Travolta for the lead might be good but the best choice would be Tom Cruise. We've seen Mission Impossible II, there were points in time where it seemed like he thought he was capable of that stuff.
I'm looking forward to Bolt right now by Reel American Hero	Apr 21st, 2008 05:23:33 PM
The whole delay/name change thing had me worried, but this sounds like a movie I'll be seeing this November. The rest of Disney's lineup sounds promising as well, with the exception of the Tinkerbell stuff, though the fact that I'm not a five year old girl could have something to do with my disintrest.
I remember seeing Peter Pan when I was 2... by slicer	Apr 23rd, 2008 10:39:07 PM
And Tinkerbell even then, gave me wood!
Disney Screwed Sanders With "Bolt" by Liahn	Apr 28th, 2008 05:59:38 PM
Chris Sanders got totally screwed with "Bolt". Instead of staying with his original concept, they changed the main character, renamed the film, and removed him from production.
