"Pixar Isn’t Pulling a George Lucas"

Well I’m glad they don’t add anything unnecessary.

Yeah, ditto. I don’t think they need to be changed- they’re perfect as they are. Thanks for the information, eerik.

Great article! Thanks for sharing with us. I am confused about one part though, the ending of the article with the question about Toy Story 3 being in 3D. It’s going to be released ONLY in 3D?

Wait, I not exactly sure if I need to know this, but who is George Lucas and what did he do?

Are you serious? :open_mouth: :open_mouth: :open_mouth:

Don’t tell me you haven’t seen “Star Wars”…

Well, Im glad they’re re-rendering Toy Stoyr and Toy Story 2 to make it look awesome-er!!
Rac_Rules: George Lucas, director of Star Wars, founder of Lucasfilm (where Pixar came from), anyways he re-mastered the original Star Wars trilogy and fans were outraged, I don’t see why though, anyways, he’s very famous!! There’s always a time to learn something new though, you’re lucky it was with a friendly bunch like us at PP. :slight_smile:

Because it’s like repainting the Mona Lisa because Van Gogh suddenly decided she should have a bigger smile. The CGI additions stand out like a sore thumb and alter the story in annoying ways. “Han shot first.”

Hmmm, I didn’t even know that this was going on. Glad they are not adding any new shots.

And I’ll try to see the movies when they are in Theaters.

I have only one thing to say: Good for them and good for us.
In fact, why would we want new stuff added to the movies? It got me upset after seeing Hayden Christensen instead of old Anakin in Episode VI. :confused:

Thank you, Pixar. Bring on the 3D glasses, 'cause there’s a film knocking on my living room’s door! :laughing:

But what would Pixar change in the movies? I’m not seeing anything that would need it. Was there a character in the first film who was voiced by someone else in the 2nd film? Was there a character anyway different from one movie to another? Or will be different in TS3?

Well, the important thing is that the classics won’t be chewed alive. For that, we must be thankful to Pixar who makes lots of good movies. What if they started making movies with 2D animation like in The Simpsons Movie (the most recent with this kind of animation), or 80/90% real life? Certainly the company would become more versatile and the films would still be good, right?

I hope not, for all three movies. I don’t intend to see them only in 3D. Some good traditional movie watching is always welcome.

Regarding the question about the releases. The article said that TS/TS2 would be released solely in 3D while TS3 would be in both standard and 3D formats.

Glad to hear that! :smiley:

That’s fine and dandy, but it’s so difficult to catch the 3D-rendered ones here in my country; either due to lack of money (I doubt the tickets would be cheap) or due to lack of cinemas showing them (the latter problem involves my location more). Hopefully, I’m able to at least catch one show this time. :cry:

That can’t be good. So you’re saying that to watch TS1 and TS2 we’ll need a pair of 3D glasses every time? What if these become uncomfortable on the head?

Um… you can still watch the old “regular” version on DVD but the new release will be only in 3D.

The problem is that I don’t have the old version. I only have the VHS, which has inferior quality.

TiagoJ7: The reason Pixar is re-releasing Toy Story and Toy Story 2 is to get audiences ready for Toy Story 3. Think about it, besides Pixar/animation fans, why would you go to the theatre to see a movie that you own on DVD/VHS? That’s why they’re releasing it in 3D, which is awesome because now we get to see one of our favorite movies in new dimensions and with higher quality graphics, I bet you could sit through an extremely entertaining 80 minute movie with glasses on, the experience wil immerse you so much, you might forget that you are wearing them. By the way, you might want to run over to your local DVD retailer NOW, the Toy Story 10th Anniversary Edition and Toy Story 2 Collector’s Edition will only be available until the end of January next year, and they are a Pixar fan MUST HAVE, trust me! If worse comes to worse, you’ll have the TS movies in normal resolution and you’ll be able to watch TS3 in standard as well.

martini833: OK, thanks. But I’ve never seen those DVDs around here. I’m now seeing if I can order them, but something worries me. I’ probably never saw them because they’re not shipped to Portugal…

I’ll continue looking. :wink:

Don’t knock VHS. At least they don’t skip frames every so often. For this reason I have both the VHS and DVD versions of Toy Story 1and 2.

Thankfully my local theater is getting the new Dolby Digital 3D projectors this fall. So I’ll be able to see this movie when it comes to Theaters.

i think the new rendering will increase quality and money income. This will be great for fans and pixar.
