New Pixar movie for 2009?

[size=92]For some reason the word

“up” reminds me of a trampoline or a seesaw… probably because of that Dr Seuss book I read, Hop On

Pop, and he illustrates the word “UP” as a puppy being flung upwards on a seesaw. But I’m getting

offtopic here so I’ll just shut up.[/size] :laughing:

Actually, Valiant was created by a small company located in London. It was one

of the first big CGI pictures to be made entirely in England.

I do like the idea of something to do with

the wars, but they would have to ensure that it were a completely different take on Valiant- something new and

original.

ick[/url] also says that Pete Doctor is directing, Ronnie Del Carmen is working in

story and the lead character is an adult male!

Ahh – I see. How

cool. Disney distributes everything… (snigger) :stuck_out_tongue:

JV - Wow – how

interesting. Thanks for the information, dude! :smiley:


Heh – I also had the idea that

“Up” could be about a dinosaur (a Pteradactyl, perhaps) who can’t fly. Goodness knows how long I’ve

been waiting for Pixar to do a film on prehistoric beasts…

Mitch - No prob!

Well all we know now is

that it’s about some guy. :smiley:

Awesome

Pete Doctor is directing!!! I love Monsters INC. so I will probably likethis one

too. :smiley: Thanks for the news JV!!! :smiley:

Ok - so this is interesting.

Let’s run through what we know…

  1. Up will

release in 2009.

  1. Is likely a Pete Docter movie. (Doubly makes since

because we know Brad is doing Ratatouille/1906, Andrew is doing WALL-E, Lee is doing Toy Story 3, and John is too

busy to be doing anything)

  1. A 2009 release likely means production began 2005/2006

  2. We know

that Pixar recruiters were going around to animation schools in 2005/2006 enticing artists to come work on a

“Pete Docter project about monsters.”

  1. If this was actually announced by Disney as the article

posted suggests, then we Up is in fact planned to be the final title and not a working title - and with only 2.5

years left in production it should have at least an anticipated title by now.

So yeah, my first thought

was airplanes too but number 4 on my list makes me wonder. Perhaps it’s the story of flying heroes that battle

monsters and particularly a young one proving himself s capable? I dunno - it’s a long shot.

I was just thinking of something : is it possible that Up and

John Carter of Mars are one and the same film ?

I mean :

  • I believe

rumors are saying that Pete Docter is directing both movie. Am I right ? It would make no sense directing two

movies at the same time.

  • John Carter of Mars is also scheduled, according

to some rumors, in 2009.

Why do you think of that ?

Archibald - I really dought it Archibald, because as

Dash said [i]"A 2009 release likely means production began

2005/2006." [/i]. John Carter of Mars could not be the 2009 Pixar film, because Pixar just got

the rights to JCoM.

Yes,

you’re right :wink:

Thanks for the info,

JV. :slight_smile: An Adult Male?! Wow, that is pretty cool! At first I thought that meant

humans, but I guess Male in animation could be practically anything.

…very

interesting. :stuck_out_tongue:

I just

saw this interesting information about Up on

Upcomingpixar. This

text comes from TIME :

Sounds really fun already :smiley:

So… This is the full length version of Geri’s Game???

Actually - I kinda want Geri

to be the main character. =D

Ooooh! squeals

This is

so exciting!

I’ve wanted Pixar to animate humans more often as I’m a bit

sick of talking animals from every other CG company. I wonder what they will look like. The second character as

a park ranger sounds awesome. I think the sets of the forests will look great (I like walking in

forests/bush/nature). :smiley: I can’t wait to see the pics from TIME magazine.

There is the problem of the

Uncanny Valley in regrds to animating the humans, which Pixar is well aware of. I’m just wondering how they will

avoid it this time, as a stylised human may not work as well as it did with The Incredibles. Just as long as they

don’t do motion-capture people with soul-less eyes, like in The Polar Express, I’m happy.

I’m guessing

that there will be scary monsters this time as opposed to the ones in Monsters, Inc.?

Anyway, this is

great news, and such a unique idea!

Not

that the others aren’t worth owning, but The Art of Up will definitley be a must

have, getting to see all the concept art of the beasts and exotic locations will be very very cool.

[size=92]Aahh! I can’t wait TWO YEARS!! D8 -dies-

xD[/size]

This has got to

be the best Pixar news since who know’s when! Thank’s bawpcwpn! :smiley:

YAY!

What news! I can’t wait! :stuck_out_tongue: :smiley:

I can not wait for UP! I am too excited after

reading it.

Maaaan… MORE male protagonists (not saying it’s a bad thing, but it’s overdone)?? Well,

there goes my wish that it was about heaven and angels!! :stuck_out_tongue:
