Any news on the next Pixar flick? (1 Viewer)

[Jeffrey Noel]

I'm just curious. Can't get enough of Pixar! Love their work!

Any news?

 

[Jason Seaver]

Finding Nemo next year, I think - two fish seperated by the Great Barrier Reef.

Then, in '04 - The Fantastics, Brad Bird's follow-up to The Iron Giant, about a dysfunctional family of superheroes.

Thanks alot Jason!

Wasn't entirely sure which thread to put it in, since Finding Nemo had been mentioned a lot, but this thread seemed to be most about Finding Nemo
Anyway, the trailer is now online, and I have to say it looks amazing!

Just for reference I'll include these as well
Finding Nemo on comingsoon.net
Official website - although there isn't much to see there yet

Is anyone else tremendously disappointed with the trailer for Finding Nemo? I really enjoyed Monsters Inc. and the Toy Story movies, but the trailer for Finding Nemo is just...not funny or interesting in any conceivable way.

 

[Bjorn Olav Nyberg]

On first viewing it really impressed me, but it may have been the animation and background, which is amazing. I also liked the opening a lot, the dialogue and style seemed kinda quirky and unusual for Disney, also a little surreal, if a little obvious.
But after that bit is over, I think I have to agree with you, the gags seems kinda bland and old.
Still, I look forward to the next trailer if nothing else
And the DVD will look amazing of course

 

[Josh Lowe]

are there any plans for a sequel to monsters inc?

 

[Rob Lutter]

NO SEQUELS... Pixar wants to get out of their contract ASAP with Disney (IIRC, it is 5 feature films which now include Toy Story, A Bug's Life, and Monsters Inc). You see, sequels DO NOT COUNT towards this 5 feature film goal (remember: Toy Story 2 was supposed to be a direct-to-video production, only to be changed into a theatrical release before its release)... so only after FINDING NEMO and THE INCREDIBLES will we see any more Pixar sequels.

i could be wrong, but i don't believe disney has anything to do with pixar productions besides providing marketing muscle.

 

[Jeffrey Noel]

Holy moly! That animation is gorgeous! When's it come out on DVD?!

that's weird.. i mean i understand they want out of the contract, but a sequel would make real money like a kid's laugh makes energy in the movie. i'll never understand steve jobs..

Pixar already makes real money on their movies. The faster they get out of the deal, the more they make, because they don't have to share with with Disney. Jobs especially wants to do this since Disney is playing hardball with them. (The fact that sequels don't count toward the deal.)

I don't blame them. Their deal with Disney is worth less to them every great movie they release. Why not get out of the deal as soon as possible, and not give away the freebees? Sure, it would be big money for all, but perhaps not good for Pixar in the long run.

...most of which would go to Disney

No, you are right of course, just me typing away a little too fast.

 

[Josh Lowe]

well i guess if disney is making the bulk of the money yet not providing anything more than marketing i understand why.. does disney retain any ownership of the toy story or monsters inc characters?

 

[David Rogers]

Edit***

Link from below says Pixar signed away their rights to any of the stories/characters in the for-Disney films Pixar has made.

So that means no Toy Story III, probably ever. Considering the crap Disney churns out and calls "entetainment", I can't conceive of any possible way they could make a good TSIII.

The older I get, the *more* I hate Disney. They're just such ... @$$h0l3$!. (sigh)

I can't wait for non-Disney Pixar films. See yas Mouse.

I seem to recall rewading somewhere that Disney wanted pixar to make "Toy Story 3", but Pixar did not want to do it unless it got counted towards their 5-picture deal, which would make it their last film for Disney.

"Finding Nemo" looks gorgeous, though. And from one of the script reviews at AICN, it seems like the movie will be quite witty and funny as well. I can't wait to see it.

 

[Andrew Chong]

I'm another animation fan who is looking forward to the next Pixar flick and those to follow.
To support their stories, each movie that Pixar produces breaks through barriers that were common to computer generated imagery. Among many other hurdles, A Bug's Life tackled photorealism, Toy Story 2 tackled believable human characters, Monsters, Inc. tackled realistic fur, and it looks as though Finding Nemo will be tackling water.

The "Toy Story 3" thing...
