  1. Cars spin-off "Planes" set for theatrical release (8/9/2013)

    Sounds like more bad news for the Pixar brand if you ask me. I know it's supposed to be Disney, but I guarantee you that this fact will be lost on a lot of critics and moviegoers who like Pixar. This will be seen as "Another Pixar Sequel," and even if it's good, I seriously doubt this will be close to the level of a Toy Story that they'll be given a pass for it.
  2. Don't cry for RotG.With DWA's deal with Fox, that movie will be playing on network TV every holiday season for the next decade or so. A whole generation of kids who are babysat by their TVs will watch this and deem it part of their childhood and will rank it with the likes of It's a Wonderful Life and Charlie Brown Christmas. And we will all forget that it didn't even pass $110m domestic because we'll all own it.

  3. Bob Petersen is the new Lee Unkrich. He's way overdue to direct his own movie. That's the main reason to be excited about this.Think why some Pixar fans were excited about MI Ghost Protocol. Not because it was original obviously, but because Brad Bird finally gets a shot to direct live action. This is similar for the Pixar geeks like me.

  4. Also, I would add on the aspect of Disney/Pixar being a bit blurred together: this cross-over is (in my opinion) much more heavily seen in the quality of Disney Animation movies getting talent/direction/influence from Pixar much more than the other way around.

    Yep. Pixar was like the studious straight A's nerd girl and Disney Animation was the house party drunk-every-day guy who got married and the guy got his shit together while the girl started drinking every weekend just to have a little fun.

  5. Maybe I am alone with my wish for more adult animated movies (ala AVATAR)Fox and Dreamworks together can fight the emperium with a diversified strategy.

    You are not alone.Though I think this will not happen until animation production costs come down. It's hard for studios to want to take a risk if budgets are at a minimum going to be $80m.
