The press release...

Hmmm. Included are Pixar's first classic fairy tale flick and Disney's attempt to "make the most beautiful CGI animated movie ever."

Yeah, but half of them are Tinkerbell movies. What's with all the Tinkerbell?

The "Bear and the Bow" sounds interesting. And possibly "Up." And of course I can't wait for WallE.

Any news, I know it isn't from Pixar or Disney, but any news on Ice Age 3? I've seen the trailer, a typical hilariously cute Scrat bit, and though the premise looks stupid, I'm interested in it, even if only for the tidbits of Scrat I'll get.

I searched the page for that phrase Puffy, I didn't see it.

What about the most beautiful 2d/3d animated movie ever? Well...guess that leaves room for moi. [Smile]

I was referring to Rapunzel, which co-director Glen Keane has enthusiastically described as the most beautiful CGI animated movie ever. They want it to look like a classic oil painting come to life. [Cool]

As far as Tink goes, it's the long delayed animated component of the "Disney Fairies" franchise. Hopefully Lasseter has gotten rid of the truly icky, disturbing things in earlier versions of the films.

All I know about Ice Age 3 (beyond the teaser) is that it seems to be the only major studio release scheduled for July 4th, 2009.

Gee, why do I think the Pixar movies sound better than the Tinker Bell ones??

The ones I'm most interested in currently are WALL*E (for obvious reasons) and The Princess and the Frog. Though Up, Toy Story 3, Rapunzel, The Bear and the Bow, and King of the Elves all intrigue me.

Oh! Valerie is working on Up! I wonder if Newt is the one she couldn't talk about yet.

Ed Asner is voicing the protagonist of Up, which is awesome all in itself. [Smile]

Hmm. Pixar's pictures have been so good in the past because they've taken some time on them; I hope the merger hasn't put pressure on them to ratchet up their output.

Keep in mind that some of these films are being officially announced just now, many of them have been in various stages of production for some years.

Only about a third are Tinkerbell, and that's only if you put the direct-to-video films on the same footing as the theatrical releases; otherwise, none of them are.

I'm alarmed by the announcement of Cars 2. But it is Pixar, and their other sequel was great. So, I'm cautious and curious more than anything else.

I wasn't creating categories. There are sixteen movies on that list, four of which are direct to home video Tinkerbell movies, and two of which are Toy Story re-releases in another format. I guess the other 10 are supposed to be the 10 Puffy is referencing in the thread title. I didn't catch that before.

That may well be, but up until now, Pixar has only been putting out a feature film every 1-2 years. My recollection is also that people who saw early versions of A Bug's Life and Finding Nemo said that the refinements made before the final versions hit the screen made all the difference.

Perhaps they've simply become more efficient with improvements in technology, but it makes me nervous. I hope it's unfounded.

They have three or four production teams working at a time in order to produce a movie every 1-2 years. I think Toy Story 3 is a good idea. I actually liked the first Cars - but that may just that I find cars in general pretty interesting.

I'd definitely get behind Incredibles 2 in any way shape or form.

The Pixar films listed all come out about a year apart, so I'm thinking they're just getting a little more ambitious, which doesn't necessarily mean skimping on quality. [Smile]

As far as that goes, Brad Bird has said he some idea as to what happens to the family in later years, but won't do a sequel unless they find a really good story.

I really liked it too. But I'm not sure how confident I am about a sequel.
