Eric Goldberg: Right now I'm doing some work for the theme parks, and exploring some further shorts ideas.

Tom Bancroft: Yes, he's thought of doing shorts and has pitched a few to Disney. He directed "John Henry" for them, which was based on one of his pitches, BUT does he want to do an INDEPENDENT short? No. That's not Mark. I'd work on it if ever he did one though!
2021? Damn that's long!estefan wrote:Honestly, I don't think we can call hand-drawn animated features dead at Disney unless we get to 2021 and they haven't made or announced a single one. Then, maybe I'll start believing it. However, I'm optimistic that won't happen.
I'm sure there were folks back in 2003 after the initial announcement that made that same bet, except switch the date to 2014. Well, we got a couple. And I think we'll get more than a couple. So, if 2021 comes along and they haven't started production on another hand-drawn animated feature, feel free to quote this down the road and tell me I'm wrong. But I don't think I will be. I'm that confident and optimistic.

That last line, if true, sounds promising.According to artists up in the story department, there are six (maybe more) features in various stages of development. (Don't ask me what all the titles and subjects are, because beyond Big Hero Six and Zootopia, haven't really kept up.)
And one of the story artists said this:
"We finally have a lot of story development going on, because it's taken a long while for John [and Ed] to have confidence, I think, in what we can do.
"Back when we were working on Bolt, we were taking the picture up to Pixar all the time, to show Pixar the brain trust what was happening. That's not happening now. I don't mean that nothing gets taken up to Emeryville these days, but John is a lot more comfortable with the artists here. And because he's more comfortable, more projects are in work, and there's not as much input from Pixar.
"Because John trusts what the Disney artists can do now. I don't think he did, a few years ago." ...
Well, at least the news from that animationblog is not as bad as it seems, but the only question that still remains, will John Lasseter give hand drawn a chance? I guess time will tell.Warm Regards wrote:Didn't know where to post this, but...

Well, so far I heard Frozen's box office is having great start. It may not beat the Hunger Games, but I think it'll make it to number 2.unprincess wrote:this is why Im hoping Frozen is a huge success. The more succes they have the more confident theyll be. And the more they will be willing to try riskier out of the box concepts, & maybe even want to go ahead & get one of those upcoming projects done in the hybrid technique or even full 2d again.
