He did? Adam, I don't know where I saw it, but I read an interview with the producer/director/some sort of head honcho of WallE. The message he intended to get across is probably a bit different than what you think. I'll see if I can find it later...
Yeah. Mr Jobs Also created Toy story If I remember right. (Call me a kiddy but I thought Toy story 1 & 2 were a scream. ) One unrelated-to-Disney movie I want to see is Marley and Me.
I was sad when I saw that trailer because a working concept I had for a game one time involved OldManClayton flying via balloons. (Well, actually, miniature clones of FDK filled with helium...) I was worried they had stolen OMC! He has the same wide head... His last name is similar... (OMC's is Frednickers) Oh well...
Anywho, I though Toy Story 2 was neat. It's by far the best sequel to any movie I've ever seen. Disney ruins all of their franchises by making so many sequels.
Looking forward to 3. How long have we known it was in the works... 4, 5 years now?
Disney also make prequels, which are also pants. The Little Mermaid 3, for example. I was watching Sleeping Beauty the other night, and the standard of the animation and background art in that is so superior to Disney's modern day 2D animation, ever since computers started playing a bigger role their work looks cheaper, goofier and rushed.
Disney has really run out of ideas... and originality.
They've made sequels out the wazoo, and hardly any of them are worth watching! I thought the 2D movie era of Disney was ACTUALLY made out of pure art and magic, and now it's soiled. Just a company making tons of movies, all without that magic touch.
However... I thought The Incredibles was, well, INCREDIBLE... and it made a memory for me (partly because I played the game), but I don't recall anything better from there.
I don't really think it's possible to run out of ideas, I just think it's possible to employ people who lack Imagination. I just hope their "Princess and the Frog" film is well animated.
Oh, I didn't realise there was footage released already:
Still, there's a cheap look to it. I think it's the lack of shading, and the fact that they colour every frame digitally nowadays

I don't associate Pixar with Disney. (though now I think Pixar was bought out by them) Pixar's creations are of top-notch quality, while Disney's are ho-hum. They say, "Disney-Pixar's" because Disney promotes/publishes/produces their films.
Yeah, I'm not a big fan of Disney anymore, I agree with Adam,
their 2D movies look a lot cheaper **Blech**
I love Toy Story though, It's still my favourite Pixar movie.
True, although Disney also have the Pixar-themed rides in their Parks, and produced the 2D animated series of Buzz Lightyear in Star Command (which I never watched- didn't appeal to me). Toy Story Mania is an awesome ride, with one killer of a line, good job my mum was patient enough to wait for it
Most Disney 3D animations are kinda lame, like Chicken Little. That had a lot of potential, and I really liked the main character design, but it just felt more like a film that should have been on kids TV as a series, like Jimmy Neutron. I've yet to watch Bolt, but I dislike most of the character designs in that, and only like the design of Bolt himself I did however, enjoy Meet the Robinsons, loved some of the concept art for that movie.
As for the Incredibles... I liked it, but it feels like quite a long film. I tend to prefer their "cuter" films, like Monsters Inc, Finding Nemo and Wall-e.
