Back at the hat, an animator told me:
"We haven't started animating on Wreck-It Ralph yet, but everything else is in work ..."
I got to see some very nice artwork for a feature in development but not yet greenlit, and one of the creators on the third floor told me he would be pitching a couple of projects to Mr. Lasseter in the next few weeks.
"I'm trying to cut the pitches down to one board apiece. The fewer words and dialogue up there, the better." ...
I went to lunch with a Disney long-timer who said it's nice the place has more stuff in development. We both agreed there wasn't near enough a year (or two) ago, but now? Better. Definitely better.

Ron and John have made several pitches. I keep seeing people here mention Rumpelstiltskin, but I haven't seen any artwork, so I have no idea. (Maybe I haven't been looking. Maybe I'm thick. Probably both.)
I have seen artwork for another picture they're developing that hasn't been greenlit for production, nor announced, so I ain't going to talk about it here.
I'm assuming (but do not know) that King of the Elves will be the next picture into production. I'm informed that the story reels are well along, and look good.
I don't know whether Snow Queen is still in story development or dead in the water. I've heard some stories about it, but I won't repeat them here.

One of the animated features in development at Disney may be a Phineas and Ferb/Zeke and Luther/Zack and Cody-type feature called Donovan and Decker, which may be the feature in which Steve said to have seen the artwork. Before you think I'm one of those trolls popping up all over the place, let me tell you something.
