BK007 Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 After watching Big Hero Six and finding out the directors were from Winnie the Pooh and Bolt, I had a sigh of regret. Such a great concept wasted on very average directors. But then again, that's what Lasseter's mandate has been. Dan Scanlon did nothing with MU. The toolbag that took over Brave didn't do much. Anyway it seems that generally if a film is directed by someone with some pedigree it will turn out pretty good or rather, you can tell how the next film will go with their resume. Brad Bird did fantastic with Incredibles and Ratatouille. You had DeBlois and Sanders with Lilo & Stitch, HTTYD, Croods and HTTYD 2. Unkrich with Toy Story 3. Docter with MI and Up. Stanton with Nemo and Wall-E. Cloudy and Lego Movie directed by that Jump Street duo. Then the guys doing Shrek 4, Puss in Boots etc. you just knew they wouldn't make a good movie. Which directors do you like? and whose films do you look forward to? I have little to no hope for the next "Don Hall/Chris Williams" project.

AniNate Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 I for one would like to see more from Hall and Williams. Haven't seen Pooh, but enjoyed Bolt and really liked BH6. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Gittes Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 I want Henry Selick to do another animated film ASAP. Him and whoever made ParaNorman. Also hope that Gore Verbinski returns to animation at some point. Wes Anderson likely will, which is awesome. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezen Baklattan Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 I look forward to seeing what Jennifer Yuh (Kung Fu Panda 2) will do next, especially considering how female directors in Animation are so rare. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 I'm also very interested in what Andrew Stanton does in general. Even when he fails, he does so with passion, and I have full confidence that he's going to put his heart and soul into Finding Dory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spidey Freak Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Musker and Clements. Aladdin and The Little Mermaid. From the same team! I can easily overlook Treasure Planet (which had its moments btw). Cannot wait for Moana. Oh and Jennifer Lee as writer/director is WIN after Frozen and Wreck-It Ralph. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
