Cartoon Brew points out that Kevin Koch from The Animation Guild blog has written a report of the Pixar Storytelling Panel at the Screenwriting Expo.
It is full of tips from the top Pixar creatives such as Andrew Stanton, Brad Bird, Lee Unkrich, Mark Andrews, Ronnie Del Carmen, Jason Katz and Jim Capobianco.
Upon reading a Jim Capobianco’s bio here, it says this…
Most recently, he was a story supervisor on Pixar’s 2007 release, Ratatouille. Jim is currently working on the development of Gary Rydstrom’s original feature film.
Now presumebly this is not meant to mean a feature film but a short film.
UPDATE: Cartoon Brew points out that DreamWorks animator Jeremy Bernstein took some notes from the seminar which he has posted on his blog.
Also, Luxo points over to IESB.net, where they have an interview with John Lasseter at the premiere of The Nightmare Before Christmas in 3D.
You can download the video interview here.
In the video the interviewer asks if we will be getting a Nightmare 2 in the future. Could this possibly be what Tim Burton and Pixar may work on together?
And that is all the news to date!

Of course it’s a feature. Do you really think they woud hire Gary Rydstrom as a director to make one short film? And that film has already been made, so why would Jim be working on it?
dude, that was totally speculative, nightmare 2…whatever.
maybe some dude on the tour made a mistake, look carefully at the rest of his tour notes, are they all 100% correct? maybe what he heard was, pixar and tim burton are showing their 3-d movie together.
This is all very interesting information, luxo jr. I thank you for posting it up for all of us to view.
What really caught my attention was the in-depth article concerning the interview of/between those masterfully-minded storytellers at Pixar. Mr. Stanton’s tips certainly proved useful to me. I will definitely write them down and keep them handy for future reference when jotting down my own story ideas.
I’ve seen these interviews before on timburtoncollective.com, the Tim Burton website I visit.
It would be so awesome if Tim and PIXAR joined forces. I’d pay big money to see that. Oh, and why did they spell John’s last name wrong?
I doubt they would want to work togather JUST for a sequel, but it’s pretty clear that they DO want to work together.
As for Rydrstrom having a FEATURE film WITH a Short – I see nothing wrong yet – Perhaps the mysterious W.A.L.-E.?? (I doubt it but you never know)
The forth Radio Pixar show is up.
Funny thing is that I listened to the podcast yesterday. I just didnt twig to post about it till you just told me. Thanks for reminding me Bill 🙂
