UPDATE<\/span>:<\/span><\/span> No, Disney is not aquiring Upcoming Pixar. All part of an elaborate April Fools joke that fooled a lot of you it seems. As for UpcomingPixar.com. No idea when It will be up. I don’t even have cool design in mind for it. Any way, April Fools!<\/p>\n

I am pleased to inform you that I may now announce that The Walt Disney Company is buying Upcoming Pixar. Upcoming Pixar will now be the official blog of Pixar Animation Studios and will have all the latest news and exclusive clips from upcoming films from Pixar, starting with Ratatouille<\/i>.<\/p>\n

As some of you have noticed, there is the domain and website, www.upcomingpixar.com<\/a>. It has been under construction for some time, waiting for the deal to go through after many weeks of discussion. Upcoming Pixar will be located now at www.upcomingpixar.com<\/a> and the site opens at on Monday at 9:05pm PST<\/span> next week.<\/p>\n

This deal has exciting new prospects for Upcoming Pixar and hopefully you will all be able to join me there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
