Call me a fuddy-duddy, but it bothers me that 8 of the Mouse's next ten animated features are planned to be Digital 3D. I'm still not sold on the idea.

At any rate, some interesting details here in this Reuters article (http://www.reuters.com/article/entertainmentNews/idUSN0841069120080408), including some projects I hadn't heard of, including an adaptation of a Philip K. Dick story in Christmas of 2012. Less appetizing is the Cars sequel.

As mentioned in the article:
1. Wall-E
2. Bolt
3. Up
4. The Princess and the Frog (traditional!)
5. Toy Story 3
6. Rapunzel
7. Newt
8. The Bear and the Bow
9. Cars 2
10. The King of Elves

Newt sounds fucking amazing as does The Bear and the Bow. Hell, I looking forward to all of these with the exception of Cars 2 (Bah! No Incredibles sequel!).

Pixar is my happy juice.

A better article is this: http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=43815http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=43815

It contains synopsises and pictures.

Wait, I thought Lasseter had given a definitive "no" to Toy Story 3.

Wait, I thought Lasseter had given a definitive "no" to Toy Story 3.I believe he shut down what Disney was working on when Pixar joined up with Disney, but left the possibility open if they found a good direction to take the story. The newer version of the project has been confirmed as in active development for a while now.

That was back when Hanks and Allen weren't signed on and the current script was tossed around about them going to Japan and such.

The film is completely different than it was a few years ago.

I'm looking forward to Rapunzel quite a bit. It's good to see Disney back in the traditional fairy tale mold and plus Glen Keane is directing who I've been a huge fan of since the 80's.

Plus it's not typical CGI that Disney used in like Meet the Robinsons, it's a combination of traditional and CGI blended together:

Indeed. If Rapunzel delivers anything near what it's promising visually, it'll be a treat. It'll be interesting to see how Glen Keane (co-)directs. I, too, have been a longtime fan of his. His work on Tarzan is easily the best thing about that picture.

We discussed that at the Tin Tin thread, a new 3D fad is rising, and this time, much stronger than ever with big studios and names supporting it, like Disney, Spielberg, Peter Jackson, James Cameron and Robert Zemeckis.

But what may truly make it popular is the new Phillips 3D HDTV that don't need glasses to watch the fx.

i'm curious for the future.

And most of this movies sound promising, Pixar taking over Disney was the best thing that could possibly happen to the studio.

Don't worry about it. Today, we live in a society sophisticated and tolerant enough that it's okay to be sexually attracted to computer-rendered images.

Well, that has unforgivably offensive written all over it.

do agree. a curious thing this circle of life and art is. suddenly a fairy-tale deconstruction like shrek is dated as hell. it's again hip to be old fashion.

i think it has been dead to anyone for quite a while. i know you don't like the movie, but i suspect this is part of a reason enchanted being that well received critically and box-office-wise. people are yearning for magic!

Yeah, compulsive pop culture quoting doesn't do much for me. There are barely even jokes in Shrek 2, basically it's just spotting the reference for an hour and a half.

Not quite yet, and we're even farther from being a society sophisticated enough for it to be okay to be sexually attracted to computer rendered images of girls that look like they're twelve.

I'm growing tired of Pixar's continual attempts to perfect a formula they already have perfected.

I want an adaptation of 'The Lower Depths' with anthropomorphic office supplies. The Stapler can throw himself into the paper shredder at the end.

The list and pictures are pretty exciting, but the only thing that slightly worries me is Pixar starting to put so many movies out there in a short period of time.

Newt and The Bear And The Bow are bloth slated for the same year (2011) and I just hope they're not spreading themselves a bit too thin. Having said that all of them sound really good.

But I'm still mad at what they've done to American Dog or sorry... Bolt.

Newt sounds like it could be glorious or a total disaster. I guess it depends on how they handle it.

The Bear and The Bow has me interested because of the talent involved, as does Up (Ed Asner and Christopher Plummer? wow!)

That Reuters article says, "With the exception of "Wall.E," a robot love story opening on June 28, and "The Princess and the Frog," a hand-drawn animated fairy tale set in New Orleans and due to open Christmas 2009, the remaining eight movies will be made in digital 3-D."


So...what exactly makes Wall.E not digital 3D?

They meant with 3D glasses, like Beowulf.

I hope they're not talking about to be viewed with 3D glasses.

Up looks really cool.

That Tinkerbell screenshot looks like Bratz.

I'm sure the 3-D will be optional, like it was with Meet the Robinsons.

I'll try to watch all of them in 3d-only, i'm spoiled by the pretty pictures. :cool:
