Pixar fans.. RIP Newt

I want more Disney animated movies. I want more Pixar animated movies. I want both. Why can't they give me both? There are so many stories to tell and these companies can both produce some good ****. Disney... where is my Disney.

These two companies has totally different styles of storytelling, but both fantastic (not the Disney sequels, which I simply don't bother with). Come on Disney... grow some balls.

Diane Disney was on the Disney lot today and there was talk of her addressing the board on a few levels including that of talk of traditional 2D animation abandonment. She mentioned that she is getting whiplash from the constant change of path and also enforced that a clear path must be set.

It's about story telling. Doesn't matter the format or if it is in Disney 3-D or just a plain old movie.

She also mentioned Disney is wasting money by ditching films already in progress and she threw harsh words at the CEO saying that Disney had long since established it's name before Pixar. She joked and mentioned, 'what's nex, Disneyland turns into Pixarland?'.

Well, if Disney Disney can come up with stuff as creative as Pixar Disney (or the Disney of old), great. But if they can't, then leave Pixar the @#$% alone and let them carry the torch that Disney Disney once carried. Don't be bitter because Daddy's company became this huge bureaucracy - it's natural. Any company that grows that big is bound to lose sight of some aspect of it's history. Pixar was created, in part, as an homage to the Disney of old. Disney owns Pixar. That should suit the money people just fine.

Well isn't Pixar just under contract with Disney. Not really owned.

I seem to remember they almost being handed to another company not to long ago, but Disney stepped back up at the last moment.

If I never see another furry animals singing movie again I'll be happy. Sick and tired of that type.

Atlantis is the most underrated Disney animation out there. It has no singing in the midst of all those damn singing movies. I'll give you that the early Disney animated had some songs, but from the Little Mermaid on there was just too much focus on getting a soundtrack out by Elton John or such, over the quality of the film.
 
Not to jack the thread, but what kind of stories would you want Disney to do? What kind of animation--drawn or pixared?

Personally I would love to see

BUCK ROGERS in the 25th century, but give it a twist--Love lost, Life lost, adjust, change and grow--to new love, new life but not forgetting where he came from.

STAINLESS STEEL RAT--it was a series of books that I would love to be made into series of movies, it could be made aimed more at adults due to content

The Stainless Steel Rat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

3001-The Odyssey Ends..or is it just the beginning....Astronaut Frank Poole is recovered and about to finish what his partner Dave Bowman and Hal witnessed..

RAMA

FOUNDATION--if at any time I could see ASIMOV's FOUNDATION actually taken to heart and done right, it would be incredible.

Stories of XANTH--Piers Anthony made this incredible series, I see that it has alot of potential.

Dragonriders of PERN--nuff said.
 
Well, it's par for the course. My Peoples, aka A Few Good Ghosts, was canned only weeks after the Disney brass gave the Florida animation group the thumbs up, then the sudden shuttering of the Florida studio at Disney/MGM and the exodus of 2D animators DESPERATE for jobs in central Florida. I had a chance to talk to some of the guys.

Disney tried, and failed, in their own CG attempt with Chicken Little and Meet the Robinsons. Eventually, they bought Pixar for $7 billion+

Roy O. Disney tried to lead a vote of no confidence against Eisner, left the Disney board with Gould, and started the SaveDisney website.

I hate to say it, but when Diane is gone, the last of the direct links to Walt will be gone (at least, anyone with pull within the company).

As far as 2d hand drawn animation, Disney has more than misfired in the past twenty years. Everyone likes to bring up Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Lion King, and Aladdin. But they were followed by Peter Pan 2 (really?!), Rescuers 2 (again, really?!), Home on the Range. And The Princess and the Frog
