Re: List of abandoned projects
Yes, it is impossible to find much information about it. The only way would be to find a way to ask Steven Hahn or Jeffrey Scott about it. But since they worked with Roy Disney on it, and he Hahn felt confident enough to mention it on his page, they must have written an outline and maybe also made s...

Re: List of abandoned projects
Found this about Steven Hahn: 2003 thru 2004, developed First Pets, a theatrical CGI animation project with Roy Disney of Walt Disney Studios as Disney acquisition project for the world-wide release. https://web.archive.org/web/20150420014842/http://www.hahn-productions.com/Hahn.htm I'm not sure wha...

Re: Disney 100 Years of Wonder
And today it was 100 years ago since Walt and Roy opened their animation business. They would never have imagined what it would grow into.

Re: Turning Red
I was half joking, but even if it's not the same, it's the closest thing we get when it comes to boys. And the topic here was children reaching puberty. And about the latter, I don't fully agree with how it was shown in the movie. She shows zero interest in the boy all the other girls are in love wi...

Re: Turning Red
I told my parents what a good movie this is. My mom basically said that it's not her cup of tea, girls shouldn't get a movie like this if boys don't also get a puberty movie. I mentioned Luca as a coming-of-age story, but she's so focused on thinking that the whole movie focuses on a girl getting h...

Re: Strange World
Yeah, it's a shame it's yet another sci-fi family film that bombs. Families might really not like this type of movies, though, judging by how many have underperformed. Apart from these two recent ones and Atlantis and Treasure Planet , there are also other animated films like Titan A.E. or Mars Nee...

Re: Bob Chapek Named CEO of The Walt Disney Company
Don't know if it has been mentioned already, but Lightyear and Strange World and other projects were already in production when Chapek took over. These movies were greenlit under Iger's watch. So I don't think Chapek can be blamed for those (the marketing and decisions to release some of them direct...

Re: Incomplete Disney Movie Ideas
So what you're talking about is concept or setting, but without any real plot yet? Would like to see another movie about robots, like Blue Sky Studios did, in a world without humans. And also a real ghost story (I think I may have mentioned it somewhere else at some point), set in the old days in an...

Re: Strange World
I haven't seen the movie yet (so far they are only showing it in dubbed version here), but it makes me sad that it is a science fiction movie. First Lightyear, and now this. Both a sci-fi and didn't do well at the box office. Disney is probably concluding that people don't want animated science fict...

Re: Luca
I have now seen the movie (some weeks ago actually). Most modern animated features normally feels obligated to insert a certain amount of action and adventure, afraid it would be boring if not. But it is fully possible to make completely innocent movies without anything bad or dangerous happening (a...

Re: Bob Chapek Named CEO of The Walt Disney Company
That's still a mystery. Since they wanted to keep him for three more years some months ago, the income back then can't have been that bad. Which makes me curious why this quarter was such a disaster.

I know what you mean, my anxiety kicked in just reading that. I hope they have a different/better idea in mind. Personally, I'd like if he's accepted as the ambassador because Earth is so low on the totem pole that no one could care less that he's a child. Then part of the plot is him trying to pro...

Re: Dame Angela Lansbury R.I.P.
The fact that it only happened a few days before her birthday makes it extra sad. The first movie I can remember seeing her in was Bedknobs and Broomsticks.

Walt's KayCee Studio
It was new for me that Walt was running another animation studio before his Laugh-O-Gram Studio. KayCee Studio was founded in 1921 and the next year it went bankrupt or changed its name to Laugh-O-Gram. https://www.hollywoodanimationacademy.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/disneykc.pdf Also found out ...

Re: Pete Docter to Take Over Pixar
Three years ago Jim Morris claimed that "ten years from now" the veterans at Pixar would no longer direct movies.
I wasn't referring to the political views of Docter and the others, I meant the decision to make the team more diverse regarding genders and ethnicity seems politically based.

Re: Pete Docter to Take Over Pixar
What's wrong with Stanton? I have hard before that he is disliked by some, but so far there has not been any examples that explain why.
As for why none of the vetarans have joined Docter, it is a conscious and partly political choice.
