Yeah, I know it seems a bit early, although we all know how film studios love to promote their products well in advance. Who knows?...

I agree with that. Actually, that has been happening for the past few years now. Micheal Eisner is GONE, folks Disney has gotten much better since Bob Iger became CEO. Ever since John Lasseter became chief creative officer at Disney Animation, he has been the executive producer of every film...

I still think that its a shame that Pajanimals seems to be finished. They had such hope for that. You're right. Its important and a very good thing for Disney to be super-cautious. BTW, I was thinking, by the time the next D23 Expo takes place (August 2011) there will hopefully be some news on...

Yeah, here we go again...:cry: Lets PLEASE try to be cautiously optimistic right now? PLEASE? With all due respect Snowth, most people are not in the mood for pessimism right now. Its falling to deaf ears at this point. Melissa-- I assure you, all of the recent animated films from Disney...

That is why that Tinker Bell scene was deleted. ;) I have rented the first two Tinker Bell films, and while I am clearly not the target audience, Generally the stories have been good. As I understand it, the early animation and humor was terrible. John Lasseter gave his concerns to Bob Iger...

Hehehehehe...

You know, since this is the 21st century after all, I am assuming that this new Muppet film will be using SOME CGI for the visual effects. (You know, the post-production stuff.)

...Oh and one more thing, what would you rather see; A badly written hand-drawn film, or a well written CGI film? :) ;)

Just remember, even if a film is hand-drawn, that doesn't necessarily mean that its better than a CGI film. A hand-drawn film can still stink if it has a bad story. Currently, Disney Animation plans to continue making both CGI and hand-drawn films. (A hand-drawn Winnie-the-Pooh film is coming...

Yup. To worry about such a thing is simply nonsense. No offense to anyone, but judging from some of the worries about CGI here, I question if people have actually read the article. "Some of the members of the so-called "Pixar Brain Trust" -- filmmakers John Lasseter, Brad Bird, Pete Docter...

Oh come on now, don't be silly. :) The Muppets film will NOT be CGI. End of story.

There's also at least one episode missing from their list. But I still thought it was interesting that they are acknowledging the hidden gems.

Its hard to say. But I'm positive that any creative changes made to the original idea were done for the good of the story. John Lasseter feels that story is the most important thing. He doesn't mess around. Clearly it was determined that the early story was not going in the right direction, so...

Actually in a way they are. John Lasseter is the chief creative officer at Disney Animation as well as Pixar. He is the executive producer of every recent animated film by Disney Animation. Such as BOLT and The Princess and the Frog. The quality of Disney animated films has been much better...

Hey everyone; This may be a little redundant for us, but in case anyone is interested, Sesamestreet.org has an official guide to some of the season 40 hidden gems on this web page (you have to scroll down a bit); http://www.sesamestreet.org/onair/theshow/streetscenes

Yeah. As many Disney/Pixar fans know, its that kind of "we want edge" mentality that almost stopped Toy Story from getting made. "Edginess" can be a very bad thing indeed.

As long as the Smurf movie has been mentioned I just have to say that I am so upset that this film is being made. More than likely it will be a bad film that tired to hard to modernize things. Millions of dollars wasted.

Yeah, those films do seem pretty unlikely at this point. Its unfortunate, becuase they had potential.

That's true, and Walt always called Donald "The Gable of our stable." Donald and Goofy always had the best cartoons. Yes. Mickey Mouse Clubhouse is great to get the young kids interested in Mickey and friends, but I would love to see another project like House of Mouse. I will say that Iger...

Speaking of which, these days Disney seems to be trying to make Mickey popular again (not just a corporate symbol). They are trying to bring back "mischievous" Mickey, as evident with the "Epic Mickey" video game, and not have him be such a boring goody-two-shoes. They also have "short" and...
