I think the new happy family over at Disney/Pixar land need to have a family meeting and get their stories straight. Just a short time ago new Disney animation department head John Lasseter announced that he was putting the breaks on Toy Story 3. Now Iger, the big boss as Disney has announced that Toy Story 3 will indeed be moving ahead, only now under the direction of the Pixar people. So what gives?
The good folks over at ComingSoon give us the following:
Iger said Disney would release about two Pixar films each year, an increase over Pixar’s earlier goal of about one per year. Pixar will take over production of “Toy Story 3,” a sequel that Disney’s in-house animators had been working on, Iger said.
Hmm… this rubs me the wrong way. I was all excited when I heard Lasseter say that only the right story will prompt a Toy Story 3 into production. Yeah… that sounded good. So all of a sudden they came up with a whole new movie idea in 2 weeks that changed his mind???
To me this stinks of Disney interference. Either that or Lasseter has already been seduced by the dark side of the Mouse force. We’ll wait and see what transpires over the next little bit. But I’ve already got a feeling things aren’t going so well for the new family in the Mouse House.
