The Single Greatest Piece Of News I've Gotten In AWHILE

[TJ Wells]

From IMDb.com:


Disney Returning To Classic Animation In 2009
John Lasseter (http://imdb.com/name/nm0005124/), who currently holds the title of chief creative officer of the Walt Disney Co., selected a stockholders annual meeting in New Orleans Thursday to announce that Disney will return to hand-drawn animation in 2009 with a feature set in New Orleans. The feature, The Frog Princess (http://imdb.com/title/tt0780521/), will be directed by John Musker (http://imdb.com/name/nm0615780/) and Ron Clements (http://imdb.com/name/nm0166256/), who oversaw The Little Mermaid (http://imdb.com/title/tt0097757/) and Aladdin (http://imdb.com/title/tt0105935/), and who were forced out by the studio's previous management when it decided to abandon hand-drawn animation in 2004. The movie will also feature the first African-American princess to appear in a Disney animated film. "We're going back to hand-drawn animation," Lasseter announced at the meeting. "This movie is going to be classic Disney and yet you have never seen this before." The studio said that it plans to rehire many of the animators it let go during the bloodletting following the failure of 2004's Home on the Range (http://imdb.com/title/tt0299172/), Disney's last "2D" animated film.

only posted it cause it just showed up on imdb. i think i heard about this awhile ago too.

[KidLightning]

i'm definitely excited about this, i miss the old disney movies.

which reminds me that i saw a commercial for peter pan being released on dvd, i might need to go pick that up

[Cheshire_Buddha]

I don't care what they look like...the new Disney movies just weren't good in terms of storylines. I could care less if they were CG, regular animation...just get some decent stories into the film. I don't want to sit through another Atlantis, Treasure Island, or Chicken Little.

[TJ Wells]

i want good songs again.

[Trainsaw]

i want good songs again.

If you're asking about Miyazaki the only thing I've heard is that the storyboards are finished. They haven't announced anything yet.

[TheRaptor]

Tis true.

And if I remember correctly, it's the same director as the first two, and both Tom Hanks and Tim Allen are confirmed to be back for Woody and Buzz.

[GoWaitInTheCar]

Dude, Atlantis and Treasure Island were awesome. Home on the Range however was the spawn of the devil.
