To those who saying they can hide the the birds and the bees or make it subtle. They can’t because it’s the main thread of the story. quote]
Maybe they never say " we have to reproduce"they just refer to the “action” as “save the species”
Anyway, this sounds really strange for a pixar film, really REALLY strange…
I don’t think the focus of the movie will be them reproducing, rather then the fact that they can’t stand each other and that they have to somehow start liking each other! Just the fact that they have to reproduce to save themselves just makes the whole thing so much funnier!
I’m so excited for this movie, it’s my favorite one out of all the ones that is showing up now in the future! Go newt!
Well, I’m a sucker for ‘reluctant romantic’ comedies, like Ice Age 2 and the Lightning/Sally subplot in Cars. So, this should be interesting. One thing I’ve noticed is that Pixar the only animation studio (besides old Disney) that has attempted a film with a love story as its main plot, and that is for Wall-E. Yeah, there are romantic liaisons and implications in Ratatouille, Cars, A Bug’s Life, and maybe even Finding Nemo, but they were only second fiddle to the main storyline. Wall-E was their first, and Newt might just be its second straightforward rom-com!
Dreamworks, well, their BGR’s come off a bit cheesy and cute, but rarely approaches Pixar’s charm or profundity. Blue Sky’s only got the Ice Age couples Manny and Ellie, and Scrat and Scratte (and for those who have seen the third, we all know how the latter went). New Disney has zilch love stories (Meet the Robinsons, Bolt) beyond imagined fandoms.
Well, the bottom line is, what I’m trying to say here is… Newt may just be an awesome ‘chick flick’ that everyone can enjoy! And I’m so lookin’ forward to the battle of the sexes!
I still say the whole reproduction thing can be alluded to without taking away the ‘family entertainment’ aspect of it. It will be interesting to see how they take that though.
Shrek and Fiona had kids as well, so yeah, I think it could be hinted at for those in the audience who know, but kept vague enough to younger audience members are out of the loop.
Oh, and Donkey and the Dragon. Forgot about that one. shudder
I do already love this movie even though there’s almost nothing known about it yet Dx Gah!
IF it will be R or M, Pixar will probably pull a Rareware action (Rareware was a video game producer who made colourful childfriendly games, and then they made Conker, a disturbing bloodfest with talking animals. Funny thing, most people refer to Rare as the ‘Pixar among the videogames’) But I digress, I’m certain Pixar will stay kidfriendly for evermore. I think.
If he is then that would make it his 4th Pixar score after The Incredibles, Ratatouille, and Up, which would make him a couple films behind Randy Newman as Pixar’s most used composer.
Anyway, I think Newt is going to be my next anticipated Pixar film that isn’t a sequel. It’ll be very interesting to see Gary Rydstrom’s film debut, and after seeing how funny his short Lifted was I’m sure it’ll probably have that same comedic tone to it.
I agree Flik-E, I’m really looking forward to this one the most. I think it’ll be pretty humorous, but I’m really hoping it’ll have a strong emotional side to it. That’s why I’m looking forward to it, the subject matter seems really geared towards an excellent emotive story.
I think “Newt” will be an interesting story. Also I am interested in how Pixar intend to performance “mating”. In face, I want to see what new species they will creat.
