AniNate Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 (edited) I think it didn't look good on Pixar to have those directors leave so quickly so maybe they thought Chapman's departure should be delayed a bit.Wow, don't want to give them any inch, huh? Could also be possible that Chapman really does want to stay there.Anyway, now BBC is reporting on the sequel and claiming the confirmation comes straight from Andrew Stanton, with no references to THR or Deadline. So this better be true or else I won't be able to trust any news organization ever again. Edited July 19, 2012 by tribefan695 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iEye Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 I don't know but it can't be to good for the ego to be pulled aside from something that was yours to begin with. Anyone with a bit of pride, would say I'm out of here. I think Pixar has her by the short and curlies so they told her, you want your release (severance) then you'll have wait.I've been around the block buddy so I know how things work in big organisations.

iEye Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 And, to your assumption re: Chapman wanting to stay. I ask you, how does she know they don't pull the shit they pulled on her once again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 (edited) I don't know what to believe, honestly. If she was under such a strict gag order I don't understand why she'd be allowed to so prominently broadcast her thoughts to the world on a daily basis for the past nine months. I just have a feeling the whole affair has been really overblown by everyone. Edited July 19, 2012 by tribefan695 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iEye Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 It is standard procedure for employers/employees to play nice in this kind of situation, if they want things to end in good standing. I think in the film business, it's important not to burn bridges simply because you never know where and who you'll wind up working again with in the future.

AniNate Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 (edited) I know Ratatouille came out before Twitter was a big thing, but somehow I doubt Jan Pinkava would've been as willing to put it behind him as Brenda Chapman seems to. He went dead silent after that TIME interview and I don't think he helped promote the film at all.Chapman's doing a little more than "not burning bridges". She didn't have to start a Twitter feed or even make it known to the world that she was behind it.

iEye Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 I don't claim to know what happened or what is happening but I'm assuming Chapman is still under contract with Pixar, so Pixar calls all the shots here. Her options are to put aside this bad experience and hope that it works out better next time or ride the bench and run out her contract or maybe play along and do as she's told and hope to get an early out or lastly, just leave and forfeit her severance. It is rare that someone gives up on their severance so I'm guessing that won't be the option she takes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whoot Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Gag orders are usually part of it. After they leave the company they typically never say anything about what really happened because they can get sued. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whoot Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 I think i read that he works for some European animation company? Not 100% sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryan Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 I read that a long time ago also, looks like he has wasted his talent 'cause he has not made anything interesting yet,,,,,, I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 He moved on to Laika, but I'm not sure if he's still there. He started working on a film called Little White Lie that ended up getting canned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whoot Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Man. Such a great animator, Geri's Game is one of the best shorts. Wish he can get a project out, even if it's a small one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gideon Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 I'm thinking if this is going "political" with the climate change kills coral reefs thing.Good idea but the word "political" will scary/create tensions here.Like in any forum...Nemo prisoner in oil catastrophy?Nemo helping weak fishes because of their "food" contamination?

Gideon Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Ok, this is what I feared would happen after Disney purchased Pixar - more sequels and greater frequency of movies. Finding Nemo 2 and Monsters University might be great movies but this trend still scares me. me too! Too many "assured" good things. Like...you liked this chocolate cake? Then let's make it/eat again! Ad nauseum? i like superheroes sequels but Pixar was, for me, in a magical bubble where art & business matched perfectly like 2 brothers. The first seemed to have the priority but the second enjoyed the party too. Now, it's really the golden moose story. Do it, Disney, do it until exhausting/breaking/sucking the fresh breath from/killing it. Disney is a corporation, owned by shareholders. Disney executives know that shareholders want profit every quarter. The execs get bonuses and shareholders get dividends. You can't tell me that Lassetter isn't feeling the pressure. There is nothing wrong with profit, bonuses, and dividends but a profit driven culture (DIS - The Walt Disney Company (NYSE)) and artistic excellent (Pixar) are uncomfortable bedfellows. Shareholders: go to hell! Sorry to sound simpleminded on this but really, that's what anger me in this businessphilosophy. They are already full of money. Gone are the days when Pixar could go a year without releasing a movie. 2005. In fact, frequency is less a problem, to me, than sequels to perfect one-movie case. This Nemo2 sounds wrong. At worst, i would prefer another movie set in the sea but without Nemo. Oceans are big enough to not meet him again, right? I understand! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilmac Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 I saw Up all the way through for the first time. What a fantastic movie. The ending where we see that the house settled down at the spot which Carl and Ellie dreamed about almost brought me to tears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 (edited) I don't really see a whole lot of benefit in an extra year gap in itself, because the first movie that came out after that 2-year gap was considered Pixar's weakest up to that point. If they came out after a two year break with a film that didn't meet expectations I think the disappointment would be magnified.They've got so many people working there now and so many ideas floating around and I want as many as possible to see the light of day. Ultimately it usually comes down to some ideas clicking with the audience and some not. I don't think Cars 2 could've been improved much from another year of brainstorming because the central conceit was the main problem.

Claire of Themyscira Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 I saw Up all the way through for the first time. What a fantastic movie. The ending where we see that the house settled down at the spot which Carl and Ellie dreamed about almost brought me to tears.I cried three times during that film. Beginning, when Carl goes through Ellie's book, and the ending. <3I cried five times during Brave, and twice during TS3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
