Upcoming Pixar

[irthesteve]

There's alot in store for upcoming Pixar movies, so let's discuss...

June 18, 2010: Toy Story 3

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/0/0e/TS3_logo_4.JPG

The premise features Woody the cowboy, Buzz Lightyear, and the rest of their toy-box friends being dropped off at a day-care center after their owner, Andy, departs for college

June 2011: Cars 2

Lasseter mentioned, "This time we’re going international."

Christmas 2011: The Bear & The Bow

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/d/d0/Thebearandthebowlogo.PNG

In mythical Scotland, Merida, a member of the royal family, decides to give up her family name for her dream of becoming an archer. Merida makes some kind of reckless choice, resulting in the destruction of her father's kingdom and her mother's life. Merida then struggles to set things right.

TBA: Newt

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/6/6f/Newtlogo.PNG

Newt and Brooke live in a community college science lab and don't care for each other, yet as the last remaining blue-footed newts on the planet they are forced to mate to save the species. Rydstrom explained "Newt is smart but he's never had to think for himself and is pampered. Brooke on the other hand is streetwise and not to be messed with.


Stoked for Up, Toy Story 3 and Newt the most. But it's Pixar, I'm sure they will all turn out very good.

[ToastedHedgehog]

Up sounds awesome. And of course I'm excited for TS3. Haven't heard much about the others, yet. Newt sounds somewhat cliche (book smart vs. street smart). I have mixed feelings about Cars 2, but I have faith that pixar won't fuck up.

[Smash Adams]

it feels wrong that the animated movie I'm most excited for is dream works (monsters vs.aliens)

the cast list is incredible though

Reese Witherspoon (http://www.variety.com/profiles/people/main/30620/Reese%20Witherspoon.html?dataSet=1) , Hugh Laurie (http://www.variety.com/profiles/people/main/34849/Hugh%20Laurie.html?dataSet=1), Will Arnett (http://www.variety.com/profiles/people/main/50380/Will%20Arnett.html?dataSet=1), Seth Rogen (http://www.variety.com/profiles/people/main/880489/Seth%20Rogen.html?dataSet=1), Rainn Wilson (http://www.variety.com/profiles/people/main/35219/Rainn%20Wilson.html?dataSet=1), Stephen Colbert (http://www.variety.com/profiles/people/main/46293/Stephen%20Colbert.html?dataSet=1), Kiefer Sutherland (http://www.variety.com/profiles/people/main/29952/Kiefer%20Sutherland.html?dataSet=1) and Paul Rudd (javascript:zodInfuser.FillDescript ions('Paul Rudd');)

Yeah, it has an awesome cast.

[amysaurus]

Yay I love Pixar. I cannot fucking wait for Toy Story 3!

[GoodTimes]

I demand an Incredibles sequal

[lindZ629]

I'll end up seeing all of them. I'm a sucker for well done animated films.

[Until The Bombs]

Most excited for Up.

[Kid B]

Fuck Cars 2. The rest sound amazing. Love Pixar to death.

[Until The Bombs]

Fuck Cars 2. The rest sound amazing. Love Pixar to death.

My guess is they want to right the wrong of the last film, but I'd rather just forget about it.

[demondays524]

I don't see the need for another Cars. The first one was decent, but not good enough for me to see the next one.

I'm stoked for TS3 though. The original is hands down one of my top 5 favorite movies.

And is it just me or does The Bear & the Bow seem kind of dark for a Pixar movie?

[irthesteve]

Yea, I think Cars is the oddest choice for a sequel. One of my least favorite Pixars thus far

[Foxholes]

I'm most excited for The Forum Search (http://absolutepunk.net/showthread.php?t=373671&highlight=pixar).

I find it odd how little is actually known about Up at this point, I really really wanted to see a trailer before Wall-E but sadly did not get one

What can I say? Sucks when someone steals your thread, it's probably happened to everyone on here, but when it's done better, it's done better.

I can't remember, when did we actually see the first Wall-E trailer, or at least teaser?

[nhoium]

Not really too stoked for Cars 2. I wasn't a fan of the first one.
I hope Toy Story 3 is better than the second, but Newt and Up sound awesome.
I need to read more about Bear and The Bow. This is my first time hearing about it.

[Ailite]

:shrug: i'm a fan or organization
As am I

So am I. I really hope we see some more for it soon, it sounds great.

That cast does look interesting. I only liked Kung-Fu Panda though.
I'm a Pixar elitist because of the association with Disney. Disney has produced the best animation, imo. I mean anime has taken the art further but Disney started it all, again imo.

[nhoium]

I know. Isn't that the first time it's happened? I think I read that somewhere. What's the expected release? Next Summer?

The cast does look awesome, but either way it's unlikely to top a Pixar film. Pixar could record my bathroom session after a Taco Bell run for the voices of a film and it would still turn out better than any other current animated studio's releases.

[Foxholes]

I searched, found your thread, saw how unorganized it is, saw how many movies you were missing, and made a new better thread.

but thanks

I gave links with info on all of the movies you listed, I bet you even used one of the links to make this thread.

[googirl8907]

I'm interested in seeing all of them. I've seen all the other Pixar movies.

[irthesteve]

I can't remember, when did we actually see the first Wall-E trailer, or at least teaser?

Every Pixar movie to date (except now Wall-E) has been preceeded with a teaser trailer for the next Pixar movie, usually slated for the next summer.

I know. Isn't that the first time it's happened? I think I read that somewhere. What's the expected release? Next Summer?

Yup, and the release for Up (as stated in the first post ;-)) is May 29, 2009

i used wikipedia 100%, so no i did not steal your links

Wow. I hope that's not a reflection of any problems with Up.

Fuck you!

[Kid B]

Maybe they're putting even more work into Up?

[sowrongitsryan]

i get the feeling toy story 3 is going to bomb

[Until The Bombs]

Hopefully good extra work being done, not work being done to fix things.

i get the feeling toy story 3 is going to bomb

No way.

[irthesteve]

Wow. I hope that's not a reflection of any problems with Up.
I hope not either, but maybe they are planning on attaching the trailer to something else instead? who knows...

[coryatlarge]

I demand an Incredibles sequal
agreed...... i'm most stoked for toy story but i am intrigued by all of them

[irthesteve]

I do think Incredibles would be the most logical sequel because they can kinda have a fresh start with new villians and everythig but not drastically changing the overall big theme of superheroes saving the day

With Cars they can't have him being a growing success story anymore, Nemo can't get lost again, they can't lose the kid in Monsters Inc again, Wall-E can't save the earth again, and stuff like that.

Nemo and Dori can have a kid that gets lost
and you forgot a bug's life, that could have a decent sequel if I remember the movie correctly, it's been about 10 years

[irthesteve]

Nemo and Dori can have a kid that gets lost
and you forgot a bug's life, that could have a decent sequel if I remember the movie correctly, it's been about 10 years
well my point is more that in Nemo a kid getting lost again would not be worth watching, but for Incredibles i would watch another crime-fighting story. and i left out bugs life because it's been so long and i forget most of the plot

[Smash Adams]

well my point is more that in Nemo a kid getting lost again would not be worth watching, but for Incredibles i would watch another crime-fighting story. and i left out bugs life because it's been so long and i forget most of the plot

I was joking about finding nemo II haha, but yeah superhero movies in general are usually pretty open to sequels, and an Incredibles sequel would be good especially because Jack would get to use his powers more since they kind of threw that in at the end of the first one
not sure if I needed spoilers but it can't hurt

very good point, that would be a fun addition to the team. but oh well, guess we're stuck with Cars instead

[rob_mylo]

i get the feeling toy story 3 is going to bomb

dude you were like.. 3 when the first one came out. u have no idea how much us people in our now twenties loved that movie. i know im gonna see it for sure. as well as others around my age im sure.

[ToastedHedgehog]

dude you were like.. 3 when the first one came out. u have no idea how much us people in our now twenties loved that movie. i know im gonna see it for sure. as well as others around my age im sure.
I'll definitely see it. Also someone at pixar (I don't remember who) said that they would only make a sequel if the script was up to par.

[Adeniz19]

there is no way toy story 3 bombs. especially because they are re-releasing the first 2 in theaters before hand in 3d

[Sneak Peek]

and i left out bugs life because it's been so long and i forget most of the plot

fun fact, when pixar first started out as a company they orignaly had 3 ideas Toy Story, Bugs Life and Wall-E. They wanted Wall-e to be the first movie they made but they wanted for technology to get better. totally worth the wait.

i didnt know about half these projects, thanks!

ehh, a good cast means nothing. Sometimes celebs voices in animation ruin it for me. And Wall-e proved you definitely don't need them.

[sowrongitsryan]

dude you were like.. 3 when the first one came out. u have no idea how much us people in our now twenties loved that movie. i know im gonna see it for sure. as well as others around my age im sure.
doesn't matter what age i am, i enjoyed it back then and i liked the second one even more.
i wasn't trying to imply that i don't like toy story, i was just saying i think they may be taking it a little far. it's a hit or miss, especially after the success of the first two

[rob_mylo]

[popdisaster00]

Cars 2? what?

[TooLateF0rRoses]

Wall-e sucked, sorry, didnt fall in love with his little noises like everyone else

[chokeychicken]

Wall-e sucked, sorry, didnt fall in love with his little noises like everyone else

lol.

you need to learn what elements make a great movie.

[irthesteve]

Wall-e sucked, sorry, didnt fall in love with his little noises like everyone else
it didn't suck, but i do have to say it's in the lower half of my pixar list.

But it was still easily one of the best movies this year so far

[reductiondesign]

Wall-e sucked, sorry, didnt fall in love with his little noises like everyone else

Someone doesn't understand cinema...

[irthesteve]

New Up stuff

http://www.slashfilm.com/2008/07/26/comic-con-teasing-pixars-up/

[Foxholes]

I've heard that when John Lasseter gave his story pitch for Toy Story 3 he had people at Disney in tears based on the idea alone. If they were tears of sadness, joy, or laughter I'm not sure.

[AlternateToLife]

Up! Yes please sounds great. Can't go wrong with Toy Story, but Cars is the only pixar film I didn't enjoy. Sequel is not necessary.

[bouttogetfancy]

hmm I guess no Newt?

http://theplaylist.blogspot.com/2010/02/pixar-troubles-newt-dead-and-cars-2.html
Fuck. That was the one I was most excited about from all the ones that had been announced

[bouttogetfancy]

Fuck. That was the one I was most excited about from all the ones that had been announced
yeah, it was one of the more interesting ones. I wish they would have just dropped Cars 2.

[nhoium]

Cars, even though it's my least favorite from Pixar, is far from a bad movie. I love the sequence during the closing credits. If Lasseter directs it, I would definitely watch the sequel.

Very excited for Toy Story 3. I've been holding off on watching a trailer or reading anything about it, which is killing me. Haha

[eraserhead]

I could not be less excited for Cars 2. Hated that stupid movie.

[SLoT]

I can understand why Pixar's doing Cars 2. Marketing for that movie was so huge. Same thing with Toy Story when that first dropped too. I'm not stoked for Cars 2, but I'll see it anyway.

[irthesteve]

Cars is not a bad movie at all but its one if the least worthy of a sequel to me

[catherinexhimel]

I think that Pixar does a BRILLIANT job with their movies. I've loved every single one of them so far.

[Full Effect Ed]

What's with all the hate for Cars? You guys hate all the good shit!

[popdisaster00]

I read that Cars has sold the most merchandise of any Pixar movie, even though it is hardly the most successful in theaters.

[Recovery Room]

Cars is not a bad movie at all but its one if the least worthy of a sequel to me
Sums it up perfectly.

[Smash Adams]

yeah, it was one of the more interesting ones. I wish they would have just dropped Cars 2.
unfortunately it's about money
I read that Cars has sold the most merchandise of any Pixar movie, even though it is hardly the most successful in theaters.
never thought about but I have seen a lot of Cars merch, looks like they're really pursuing that route for Toy Story 3 too

[popdisaster00]

Wall-E has been my favorite Pixar film so far. Newt looked awesome

[Healthy Scratch]

its been 4 years since cars came out, yet shelves are still being filled with anything and everything 'cars' related. slap lightning mcqueen on a turd and it would sell out.

[flask]

I can't wait for Toy Story 3. I saw the double feature in October and it reminded me just how much I loved the movies. I must have watched them hundreds of times when I was little. Also, I finally bought Ratatouille last night, my favorite Pixar movie. :-d

[squared82]

I'm sad that they're scrapping Newt. I was most excited for that one. Maybe they'll at least so a short with it or something.

I'm not excited about Cars 2 at all.

I think the story of the Bear and the Bow sounds interesting, but I'm still not that excited about it. I think I'll have to see some of the animation first. It doesn't really feel like a Pixar movie to me, though.

[irthesteve]

Monsters Inc 2 and Brave (previously Bear & The Bow) to be released 2012

Bummed the "Mind" movie got pushed back but a Dia de los Muertos movie?! I'll have to take my abuelita to see that haha.

[brandon_260]

Really excited for The Good Dinosaur. Mixing Pixar with one of my favorite things from my childhood is sure to turn out great.

[Star Slight]

so itll be Brave, Monsters Inc 2, Dinosaur movie, Mind movie?

[brandon_260]

Sounds like it. Kind of glad the Good Dinosaur comes before the mind movie now.

[blimpcityhero11]

Still wish Newt would have happened.
Seriously... It would've been roughly 43 times better than Rio. They should've finished and released it anyways as a fuck you to the inferior Sony and Dreamworks.

Also, a Dia de los Muertos movie could be awesome.

[Smash Adams]

I liked rio :shrug: but still Newt seemed cool

[blimpcityhero11]

I liked rio :shrug: but still Newt seemed cool
I'm not sure if you're familiar, but it's widely speculated that Pixar canned Newt because the main plot points were very similar to Rio. I have no doubt that Newt would be better than Rio.
