A guy in a different forum guessed
that W.A.L.-E. is Woody And Lightyear - Encore
Interesting theory. Could be true.
as much as an interesting theoring it is, as Dash discussed on the podcast, It
would seem a bit to early for TS3 as the merger was only completed in May/June. Pixar movies usually get a 4 year
treatment.
your right bawpcwpn
But i
read an article from Disney, where they said, that they wanna push Pixar even to 2 movies a year. Like Dreamworks
does. At least they will push Pixar to 1 movie a year. No way that they won’t.
2008 will definetely have Toy
Story 3. And WAL-E should be the codename for TS3. Here they showed the project at Siggraph 2005:
xdt.com.au/Company/whats_on/ … ystory.jpg
the whole report:
No no no no no. Disney ARE not pushing Pixar to make 1 or 2 movies a year and no gaps without movies.
They are letting Pixar do their own thing. But because there are some irregularities in the release dates of
Pixar movies not being every year, Disney want to see more movies like theirs but ones at a cheaper cost and
quicker to make. So Disney are getting Robert Zemeckis and his Mo-Cap team in to do that.
It is not set in
concrete that 2008 will have TS3. TS3 was only announced by Pixar at the middle of year. Before this announcement
at like the 2nd Quarter Pixar Earnings Conference last year, Steve Jobs said that they had 3 films lined up. One
of which is Ratatouille. The second of which now it seems is W.A.L.-E and a third to be announced. Then Pixar
made the announcement of doing TS3. So If we do the math. At one Pixar movie a year from now on, we get
Ratatatouille in 2007, W.A.L.-E in 2008, the third film in 2009 and TS3 in 2010. Plus John Lasseter is very
busy.
Also that photo of TS3 poster is from the 2005 Siggraph when Disney’s Circle 7 where creating TS3.
Then at the start of the year Pixar and Disney announced their merger and John Lasseter and Ed Catmull canned TS3
production, and now they announced they are working on it.
I think W.A.L.-E is most likeley as others have
pointed out to be either Pixar’s rumoured Sci-Fi movie or an aquatic adventure about Whales.
With all
this info floating around I don’t know what to think 
Why do you know so much bawpcwpn ? 
I’m just gonna wait and see what they do, to be honest…I’m sure Pixar will do
what’s best, either way.
bawpcwpn is Luxo Jr.!
Upcoming Pixar mastermind! I wouldn’t be suprised if you have telescopes going into Pixar studios… heh.
LOL! They would have to be pretty long Telescopes to go from Aussie to the
US!
Well… you never know. Heheh. 
[b]On Wikipedia it says that Jim Reardon
director of the TV series The Simpsons is directing W.A.L.-E, what is that all about?[/b]
One thing I have learnt from Wikipedia is not to trust
information that is uncited or that you dont know is true. However this could be possible as a few people that
have worked with Fox on the Simpsons have moved to Pixar i.e. Brad Bird, David Silverman, Rich Moore, Kevin
O’Brien and Jim Reardon is also one of them.
On my blog someone commented that they found out that Rich
Moore is working on a film at Pixar and W.A.L.-E could be the one. He could be co-directing it with Jim
Reardon.
Yeah, no one should a 4,000 mile
telescope across the Pacific, Bawpcwpn! 
I agree that the order of films to come will probably
Ratatouille, W.A.L.-E., a third film, and TS3. But I still like to think that they’ll be a tad sporadic still .
. . with releases in 2007, 2009, 2010, and 2012.
But that’s just me. 
As much as I’d love a PIXAR
film every year, I don’t think I’m ready for so much goodness yet!!
But to confirm what Bawpcwpn said,
when Disney merged with PIXAR, they gave PIXAR complete control of both animation
departments (w/Lasseter as Chief Creative Officer, who answer only to Iger I believe), hoping that some of the
PIXAR cheer will revitalize the Disney Animators, and create the future Third Golden Age of Disney.
Post
Merger, they told PIXAR they’d like two films a year, only to hear (most likely) laughs. PIXAR got to get
control of everything . . . rights to their old movies, their hoping lamp logo, and each of their stocks were
worth 2.3 Disney ones, I beleive! They even get to continue their way of “contracts” which I beleive
is lack there of, and on purpose!
PIXAR doesn’t want to ruin a perfectly working way of making great
films . . . they are going to take their time making them . . . and hopefully put some of that into
Disney.
EDIT - Just read the above post. While they’ll probably be good if there from the same stock as
David Silverman & Brad Bird, I WAS hoping for a Pete Doctor or Andrew Stanton film!!
I guess this
is as good a place as any to bring it up, but I’m guessing co-directing Monsters, Inc. was just a one-time thing
for David Silverman as far as Pixar involvement goes…? Because you’d think that someone who was
“powerful,” shall we say, to be co-director of one of the films would have gone on to be heard of a bit
more often. I just find it a bit odd that that’s the only Pixar project he’s worked on, yet he worked on it at
such a high level. Anybody know what ever happened to him?
it seems he went from working on the simpsons, to working on The Road to El Dorado then to Ice
Age/Monsters Inc and then back to simpsons to now directing the Simpsons movie. I wonder what enticed him over
to Pixar for Monsters Inc?
Maybe it was purely Pixar’s success
rate- that in itself has attracted many famous names.
[b]On Wikipedia it says that
[size=150]Birds Of A Feather [/size](coming in 2009) is the next film after W.A.L-E. (Coming
in 2008). This time I don?t believe Wikipedia on this one, I mean it?s not like I have never trusted Wikipedia
before, it just that I don?t trust them on this one.[/b]
Birds
of a Feather? Not sure about that…And Wikipedia isn’t always reliable, so I’m a bit sceptical about this one.
Unless there’s any other evidence of such a film arising?
[b]Now we know that “Lifted” is the next Pixar Short and that it is about aliens, So that
means W.A.L-E is not about aliens, What does everyone think W.A.L-E is about now? [/b]
