According to the 2005 annual report (the one for FY2004) for Pixar they were already putting into place the capacity to work towards two releases a year (acknowledging that just one a year created huge financial risks if they ever release a bomb).

So hopefully 2 a year won't be that bad. But it does raise the spector of 3 or 4 animated movies a year from Disney (in house, not even counting the various distribution contracts they live with Vanguard) which is probably getting to be too much even if each is a gem.

I predict quality won't be able to accomodate the ramped-up schedule. Frankly, the law of averages alone puts Pixar in line for a flop real soon (and it looks to me like Cars may be the one).



Everyone's entitled to their own opinion, but until The Incredibles came along, Toy Story was my favorite Pixar film.

Bah. I thought Monster's Inc. was going to be the one. I thought Nemo was going to be the one. And it was only those past experiences that prevented me from thinking The Incredibles was going to be the one. I've learned that there's not point in making a judgement on a Pixar movie until you see it.

Monsters, Inc., Finding Nemo and The Incredibles all looked good to me in previews. Not so A Bugs Life, which I disliked.

I have not been impressed with any of the Cars previews I've seen, including the one now screening with Lady and the Tramp.


Ergo, I have a reasonable expectation of meh-ness. (Though I don't expect anything as awful as The Phantom Menace.)

Nobody expects The Phantom Menace. It's chief weapon is the element of surprise.

They end up in a Kidergarten

I always thought Toy Story 3 would end like this. Andy grows up. The toys are given to Molly, the little sister. She in turn brings them to her kindergarten class and leaves them there where they will always be played with by children. the end. Toy Story 1 is my favorite of the bunch. I've see it 30+ times now. Just such a good story and so original.

And cars looks very disappointing. Hope it has nothing to do with Joe Ranft's passing since he was head of story for Pixar.
