It’s good that

the UK will see WALL-E not that long after we do. Too bad I can’t say the same for

Ratatouille . [/i]

Yeah, I agree with Bill- this is a lot better, though

ideally Pixar films should be released on the same day worldwide, but this is an improvement.

#83

Intresting info JV, though i don’t live in the UK. but thanks for the Willard actor

info.

HOLY SH…

Wall-E will opens in France on August 6 !! Why ?!?
I hate that stupid

country ! >.<

#85

I really wish Pixar would

get with the program and start having worldwide, uniformed release dates. :angry:

Anyone know the Australian

release date for Wall.E, yet?

#86

Wow, I’m so sarry K3vin!

That sucks! :frowning:

#87

Yeah, this whole separate dates thing

is really sucky. Why can’t they realise that although Pixar may be an American company, not all Pixar fans are

in America? The weird thing is that Pixar do keep going on about how they’re trying to be as worldwide as

possible, dubbing the films and even changing parts of the animation to fit with other languages, but it’s

almost a waste if the film isn’t going to be released on the same day everywhere. And they never give any proper

reasons, either.

  1. Splitting up worldwide theatrical releases is a common practice.

Pixar doesn’t control their release dates, the distributor, Buena Vista, does.

#89

Dash- Ahh, right, okay. Well, either way, most of

the time the rest of the world doesn’t have to wait much longer than a month or two, but 5 months is a bit

extreme concerning Ratatouille…At least Wall-E is an improvement.

#90

Oh man

that sucks. We can blame Buena Vista all we want for having such long gaps for release date.

#91

Although Buena Vista is the international distributor of

Pixar’s films, I find it very hard to believe that Pixar (and John Lasseter in particular) wouldn’t have the

power/influence to change the situation.

At least it isn’t five months though, but it’s still pretty

annoying… :angry:

You know, I hate this multiple release date as well, and

I’m sure I’d hate it even more if I didn’t live in America, but Animation is a business as well as being an

art. The bottom line is, Pixar and Disney are going to do the best they can to have their films do well, and

that’s just it. If another big film is coming out at the same time in a different country, it might be wise to

move it 'till after that big movie’s appeal dies down. If people buy more movie tickets in one part of the

year, then distribution companies are going to have their movies in that area. The list goes on and on. So, while

I feel sorry for ya’ll international people, you gotta remember: Disney/Pixar people have to put food on the

table. :smiley:
