That video is ancient, it was posted in the paperman thread. They just now put it up on youtube I guess.

Originally, Paperman was going to be a Pixar film.
Patrick Osborne wrote:John Kahrs went and asked Lasseter if he could revive Paperman which he had done 5 or 6 versions of story at Pixar before he came down to Disney. Back then, Paperman was going to be a black-and-white, photorealistic, global illuminated film but when John came down to Disney, he was around Glen [Keane] a lot, saw all the drawing, all the history of line and thought it would be cool to bring line into it and make Paperman in a different way.

On one hand the thought of a paper man movie sounds great, but if it was going to be photo real I'm glad we got what we did instead.

Wow! At least Kahrs made the right choice for the film. Admirable that Lasseter agreed to do that, as well as Kahrs pleading to do so.

the initial concept for the story sounded so unappealing. :down:
