"You can't follow pigs with pigs..." or can you...?

Actually, this is pretty disappointing news to me. The strength of Pixar has always been their ability to tell a great story, not just to dazzle us with their technical abilities. That's why The Incredibles was so great (I have high hopes for Brad Bird's Ratatouille, too) and Cars was a notch below, what with the Doc Hollywood plot and all.

Looking at the proposed schedule (according to Lutz), the new productions (Cars 2 & TS3) are franchise cash-ins. Perhaps we'll see an interesting story a la TS2, but even that was problematic ("We had to save Buzz in Toy Story. Now we should save Woody in TS2"). I guess Pixar truly has been assimilated.

Sigh.
