I’m disappointed about not having a teaser for Up as well, but I believe that it’s a scheduling problem. If a teaser for Up was ready, I don’t see why Disney execs (who now have the well-being of Pixar in mind as well since they are the same company) would choose not to put an Up teaser alongside a Bolt trailer if they had them both. And Bolt should have a big audience if Miley Cyrus promotes it.
No worries rachel! This is a good partnership. It’s not like Eisner is still running things. Think of it as Pixar now running Disney.
As for which short is attached to which movie, I always just thought that ever since the Incredibles, the short was used to test the backgrounds for the next major film Pixar was releasing the year after. e.g., The Incredibles had Boundin’ (looked like Cars’ background?). Cars had One Man Band (looked like a European background). Then Ratatouille had Lifted (which had the outer space backdrop). I’m wondering if Presto had anything to do with Up. Of course these are all just guesses from me and I could be dead wrong.
Great to hear that Mr. Giacchino is on board. Once I heard that Stanton was bringing Thomas Newman back for Wall-E (which, the score and the film is probably the first really overrated thing Pixar’s done) I thought that Mr. Docter would bring in Randy Newman (who did Monsters, Inc.) But I’m glad to see that it’s gonna be Giacchino, he’s easily the best composer Pixar’s used (heck, they basically discovered him- or at least introduced him to legions of fans).
Plus, the Giacchino fan in me is geeking out, cause with this, that means he had three big film scores with a two month (or so) window, first he’s scoring J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek, then three weeks later he’s scoring Up, and then he’s attached to score something called ‘Land of the Lost’ that July. Plus, he’s obviously gonna score 1906, which hopefully opens the following December. So, wow! Four Giacchino scores in just over half a year. He’s sure gonna be busy.
Yeah i was really dissapointed. I thought there was gonna be a teaser for it. Pixar always does that, like how they showed the Wall-e teaser at Ratatouille last year , but I guess I just have to wait.
Really? I must have missed the memo. Anyway, that’s weird. I was wondering why no one had mentioned it yet and was looking forward to seeing a little more about it.
