2009 is the year of sneezing?! I wasn't even INFORMED! Naw just kiddin. I wonder what games we'll see in 09? OMG The year went by way too fast. Ima gettin old.
We watched Wall-E for new years (a bit dissapointed given the hype). But was more than made up by the view from the landing window, can see out onto Manchester and the whole sky was just alite. Bootiful. And what Credit crunch
I've never seen Wall-E. I wanted to see it pretty bad, but we never see movies anymore. I also wanted to see Bolt but nothin doin. Hmmm. Toy Story 3 should be interesting... >_O I think the next movie we WILL see is "The Hobbit" in '11. Too long to wait for.

Wall-E's way over rated. I watched and I didn't like it very much...Still 28 minutes til new years here.
Happy New Years. I enjoyed WallE very much. There was a bit of satire with the laziness/fat thing, but it wasn't intended to be a political commentary or to make fun of anyone.
I watched Wall-e with my brothers on christmas night, every bit as good as I expected, although I'd have liked more of it to have been set on earth. Pixar/Disney always try to get a message across, I think they did a great job with this film. I also love it when the reject-bots follow Wall-e and Eve around making the Hello Dolly music in robot beeps <3
He did? Adam, I don't know where I saw it, but I read an interview with the producer/director/some sort of head honcho of WallE. The message he intended to get across is probably a bit different than what you think. I'll see if I can find it later...
Yeah. Mr Jobs Also created Toy story If I remember right. (Call me a kiddy but I thought Toy story 1 & 2 were a scream. ) One unrelated-to-Disney movie I want to see is Marley and Me.
I was sad when I saw that trailer because a working concept I had for a game one time involved OldManClayton flying via balloons. (Well, actually, miniature clones of FDK filled with helium...) I was worried they had stolen OMC! He has the same wide head... His last name is similar... (OMC's is Frednickers) Oh well...
Anywho, I though Toy Story 2 was neat. It's by far the best sequel to any movie I've ever seen. Disney ruins all of their franchises by making so many sequels.
Looking forward to 3. How long have we known it was in the works... 4, 5 years now?
Disney also make prequels, which are also pants. The Little Mermaid 3, for example. I was watching Sleeping Beauty the other night, and the standard of the animation and background art in that is so superior to Disney's modern day 2D animation, ever since computers started playing a bigger role their work looks cheaper, goofier and rushed.
Disney has really run out of ideas... and originality.
They've made sequels out the wazoo, and hardly any of them are worth watching! I thought the 2D movie era of Disney was ACTUALLY made out of pure art and magic, and now it's soiled. Just a company making tons of movies, all without that magic touch.
However... I thought The Incredibles was, well, INCREDIBLE... and it made a memory for me (partly because I played the game), but I don't recall anything better from there.
I don't really think it's possible to run out of ideas, I just think it's possible to employ people who lack Imagination. I just hope their "Princess and the Frog" film is well animated.
Oh, I didn't realise there was footage released already:
Still, there's a cheap look to it. I think it's the lack of shading, and the fact that they colour every frame digitally nowadays

I don't associate Pixar with Disney. (though now I think Pixar was bought out by them) Pixar's creations are of top-notch quality, while Disney's are ho-hum. They say, "Disney-Pixar's" because Disney promotes/publishes/produces their films.
Yeah, I'm not a big fan of Disney anymore, I agree with Adam,
their 2D movies look a lot cheaper **Blech**
I love Toy Story though, It's still my favourite Pixar movie.
True, although Disney also have the Pixar-themed rides in their Parks, and produced the 2D animated series of Buzz Lightyear in Star Command (which I never watched- didn't appeal to me). Toy Story Mania is an awesome ride, with one killer of a line, good job my mum was patient enough to wait for it
Most Disney 3D animations are kinda lame, like Chicken Little. That had a lot of potential, and I really liked the main character design, but it just felt more like a film that should have been on kids TV as a series, like Jimmy Neutron. I've yet to watch Bolt, but I dislike most of the character designs in that, and only like the design of Bolt himself I did however, enjoy Meet the Robinsons, loved some of the concept art for that movie.
As for the Incredibles... I liked it, but it feels like quite a long film. I tend to prefer their "cuter" films, like Monsters Inc, Finding Nemo and Wall-e.
Yea, I believe Disney owns the rights to Toy Story, but I don't know about the others. They are so closely tied together, though, that it doesn't make a difference whether they legally own them.
I don't watch Disney movies or cartoons. I watch Pixar, but no Disney. Too cheesy and hokey and whatever else you can think of to describe it.
Yea, they just seem too princessesy, if you know what I mean
Plus have you seen the Disney Channel? I dunno if they make all that but good god. Highschool Music, Camp Rock, The Suite Life... Noooooo.
I don't have cable or satellite, but from what little I have seen of the Disney channel, it's gone WAY downhill. It's all preteen pop star hullabaloo that teaches little girls bad behavior. I miss the good olden days when you could go watch good cartoons on the Disney channel (not toon disney) at Gramma's house.
Highschool musical is unbearable. >_> And I've never even seen it.
"it's gone WAY downhill. It's all preteen pop star hullabaloo that teaches little girls bad behavior.

YES, AMEN!! I really, really hate the new disney channel.
I'm totally with you on "it teaches little girls bad behaviour" part. (You got that right!)
All of their shows are, ahem- CRAP.
Highschool musical really... (*cough cough*)ed up Disney channel. Camp Rock Should have been Cramp Rock. >_< Some People call it Disney- I call it Uwe Boll University.
"Uwe Boll university" - love that quote, despite the fact i've not seen the Disney channel for about 10 years, though a stroll into any Disney store tells me all i need to know. High School Musical/Crap Rock both suck bad!
As for animation, i agree that the older, hand-drawn style was much more charming and much better than todays standards. Going off a slight tangent, one of my biggest gripes with The Simpsons these days is the computer aided animation (especially the off-character camera spinning thing they first introduced in Futurama - i hate that!). The older, series 3-7 style drawings were my fav. My other gripe is the quality of storylines and scripts - i think they suck too! And too reliant on celebrities!! Boooooooooooooo!!

Hand-drawn does have its own charm. Disney's animations are very noticably smooth and lifelike nowadays, but they don't have that charm anymore. The cartoon movies just aren't as innocent or something. Hard to explain. O_o
Haha, I'm going to try to get myself into this topic without reading too deep into previous posts, but I believe that classic Disney was amazing. Pixar still is, but Disney has completely lost my respect. Their last good movie on their own, was probably Brother Bear (not even the sequel). I loved all their classics, Lion King, Aladdin, Tarzan, The Aristocats, Atlantis: The Lost Empire, Beauty and The Beast, Oliver and Company. Those were amazing times.
Pixar on the other hand, well and truly holds the initial spirit Walt Disney had when he actually created the classics we know and love. I love them.
Ah, I remember when I was a kid (Not a teen. ) I those watched classic Disney movies with my family... My favourite was (and still is) Hercules. 2nd was Mulan.

Walt Disney really was a true artist, an artist, who didn't copy off people's work.
I think Disney lost its magic when they upgraded to the 21st century. They once had adventure and magic, now it's just adventure. >:2
Just take a look at Sleeping Beauty. It has remarkable characters! The prince, Maleficent, And (No duh) Sleeping Beauty! It was all a big fairy tale that actually had a magic touch to it!
Now... Take Bolt for example. It's in the 21st century! Sky scrapers, a bustling city, cars out the you-know-what, all in ANOTHER one of Disneys sad, sad compilations, resembling a super dog who really thinks he has super powers.
WTH?!?!
Let's look at Cinderella. It was filled with memerable characters that people would remember throughout their life, (unless they had alzheimers. >_< rather than to remember it only for a short period and go "Bolt Who?"... whereas TIMELESS characters would STAY with you. I don't know how Disney did it, but they don't have it any more.

That one song that sounds like the hamsterdance? That movie was fun, I remember liking the friar and when the chicken bowls everyone over like she's playing american football. Ah, good times.
