Chicken Little Makers 'Quit' Disney

Quote:

Randy Fullmer, who produced Disney's Chicken Little, and Mark Dindal, who directed it, have quietly quit the company, the animation website O-meon.com reported Wednesday. In an interview, both Fullmer and Dindal denied that the takeover of Disney's animation business by Pixar execs played any part in their decision to leave. Fullmer said that he just wanted to "do my own things for awhile," adding: "It was great to work with 400 people in that sort of collaborative thing but it would just be nice to go back and be an individual artist for awhile." Dindal said that he was interested in making a film combining live action with animation. "I started to save up some money so that I could strike out for about a year and see what I could do as far as trying to get a film along those lines." He did not indicate whether he had approached Disney about such a project.

Keep in mind, Cynthia Harris also 'quit' working for Disney.

I buy his reasoning actually. It sounds like a good move.

Unfortunately I bought his movie. That was not a good move.

While Chicken Little was a bomb I do hope that the Pixar takeover does not sound the death knoll for all hand drawn animation. Stitch is still one of my favorite Disney flicks of all times and I'd hate to see the art form die off at Disney.

Oh, I doubt that Pixar will be the death knoll for traditional animation. They, after all, bought all of Disney's traditional animation supplies after Disney itself tried to kill traditional animation off. Those two men are CGI animators.

Pixar-Disney's already trying to bring it back. "Enchanted," a film I'm very looking forward to, is a live-action/traditional-animation film about an animated princess who gets cursed by the evil queen-type to real-life New York City. Starring Amy Adams. Songs by Alan Menken. Hand-drawn animation. I'm there.

I did not get to see 'Chicken Little' (I really had no desire to see it) but I thought it did pretty well at the box office... ???

I see. I wonder how much they spent on advertising. It seems like they did a lot of it. $135 isn't bad but it's not great, either...
