It was like the tolling of the bell. When word came down the pipe that Pixar was ditching Disney, everyone knew that the Empire of the Mouse was going to be in big trouble. These days Disney is reeling in their own ineptitude. Their projects have been horrible, their own house is in total disarray, and hopes for future improvement are bleak at best. What better way to turn things around then to make another huge mistake: Trying to continue the “Toy Story” series without Pixar. The good folks at Cinema Blend give us this:
Disney’s animation department is fading and desperate. Their partnership with Pixar is ending. Without Pixar they are now in the unenviable position of coming late to the CGI movie game. Their traditional animation department all but abandoned, they’re scrabbling to grab anything they can in the way of CGI movie making. To date, they’ve only unveiled a horrible looking CGI Mickey Mouse character, which was soundly booed by just about everyone. So they’re stealing Pixar’s baby and trying to make it without them.
Ok, I know I can be given to exaggeration from time to time… but THIS IS AN OUTRAGE! Yes, technically Disney holds to rights to the characters and can legally do this. But just because it’s legal doesn’t mean it’s right. Having Disney as the creative force behind the new Toy Stories instead of Pixar is like having Pauly Shore as Captain Jack Sparrow in the new Pirates of the Caribbean instead of Johnny Depp. What a joke. I will not spend one dime to see ANYTHING Toy Story related without Pixar. I’m warning you Disney… you are going to alienate the few of us out here who still want to give you a shot if you try to pull this stunt. Jerks.
