Pixar's second sequelized franchise is definitely switching up genres.

Okay, I chuckled at British Intelligence.

What a hugely offensive headline!

(Cars will get my business in the theater ONLY due to good-will toward the brand. Hopefully it'll be surprisingly entertaining.)

I thought of The Incredibles too when I saw this.

It looks great, but the visual style wasn't the problem with the first film.

I didn't find that appealing at all as a trailer.

Michael Caine's lines sound a little phoned in. Hoping that's not the case in the movie. Would've been cool if they got Sean Connery (though I imagine he'd sound even more tired).

It was the shot of the jet shooting through the clouds that got me thinking about that film. For a second, I thought they just re-used it!

What I got from the trailer:

Sentient cars riding sentient planes.
Everything has faces.
Cars have luggage.
Michael Caine is involved somehow.
Being from Nebraska actually makes me hate Larry the Cable Guy more.

On the other hand, this will easily wind up being a thousand times better than other recent globe-trotting action movies involving talking vehicles.

looks pretty good. Still dissapointed this film somewhat caused Newt to get the can. I used to think Cars was a pretty average to bad movie, untill just recently catching it on Disney. It's actually really good. Nowhere near Nemo, and the Incredibles, but a solid entry nonetheless. I think "A Bugs Life" is their weakest film to date, followed by..... Wall-E (runs for cover)

NEWT got canned because the story wasn't coming together. I don't think one had anything to do with the other.

Count me in for this one. It looks like fun.

I'm being generous and marking this down as Pixar taking a year off from being geniuses and doing a paycheck gig. They probably earned that right, and I'd rather they shamelessly milked one of the few Pixar movies no one cares much about rather than doing it to one of their sacred cows. And this doesn't look particularly terribly or anything.

Somehow them doing Monsters Inc 2 next bothers me more. I liked the first but can't say I'm crying out to see a follow up. And three sequels in a row? I just hope they're using this time to stockpile great new ideas.

Monsters Inc. 2 is next? I thought The Bear and the Bow was next.

BEAR AND THE BOW is now called BRAVE and recently went through a director change (a la RATATOUILLE). I honestly have no idea which one is next. They could have been swapped.

Whoa, a director change? I thought one of the big selling points of Bear and the Bow/Brave was that it had a female main character and a female director (Brenda Chapman)? But I see from a google search that you're right, Chapman has been replaced. That's a shame. She directed Prince of Egypt, a movie that I really love, and I was excited to see what she'd do in the director's chair at Pixar.

I didn't know about the director change either. I looked it up and the new director is Mark Andrews (story artist that Brad Bird brought along from The Iron Giant to Pixar). That makes it sound like the movie is going to focus more on action and adventure (which Andrews admits to being his strength when it comes to storyboards). Just my assumption though.

The page I found about it was filled with comments that was bemoaning Pixar dropping their first female director for another male one. More doomsaying for Pixar, right on schedule. But along with them shutting down the original Newt and going for Cars 2 and Monsters Inc 2, I can see how people are putting it all together.

I also love The Prince of Egypt.

i heard it got canned because they wanted the studio to concentrate on sequels, like Toy Story 3, Cars 2, and Monsters Inc 2. It was sched. for a Summer 2011 release too.

Brave comes out Late Spring 2012.. Monster Inc 2 comes out November 2012. Two Pixar films in the same year? Just seems wierd...

Who wanted that? Disney? Pixar essentially runs Disney now! I don't buy it for a second.

Pixar runs Disney? Um, I doubt that. From what it seems, it seems like Disney wasnted Pixar to concentrate on sequels. 3 of their 4 films, since Disney bought them, have been sequels.

The word everwhere other than NickP's brain is that NEWT fell apart on the story level, and rather than force it, they scrapped the whole project. I've heard that in both press release and word-on-the-street levels, and given how Pixar is known for that kind of story scrutiny, it sounds way more likely. Hell, look how many iterations UP went through just in the storyboards.

Well, Steve Jobs is now CEO of Disney, and Lassiter runs the animation department for Disney. The Ink & Paint Shop was re-opened under Lassiter's directive. Pixar still exists as its own seperate decision making company within the Disney house, where their films easily account for a majority of the film revenue. So yeah, I'd say Pixar pretty much took over the Mouse House.

yeah, if my head equals 50+ websites that said it was cause Pixar wanted to concentrate on sequels...

John Lasseter "declined to comment," but a separate source from within the studio stated that "We have taken Newt off of our development schedule to allow our creative teams to focus on these upcoming projects"

So, how does that not equal, "we are concentrating on other pixar films, namely sequels, in favor of NEWT"

Any of those 50+ websites running on anything other than speculation and gossip?

What's more likely: the studio that willingly delayed two of its tentpole releases by almost a year to fix story issues subsequently canning a project that had only begun the early stages of animation because it was deemed too weak and couldn't be resolved to a satisfactory degree, or Big Bad Disney coming into the place and wickedly stomping out all original thought, demanding nothing but sequels from here on out...except for the fact that the two guys who were running Pixar are now, and have been for half a decade, running Disney?

Loved Cars and more than likely I'll love Cars 2 just as much!
