Disney to Make Toy Story 3 Without Pixar
rdurell writes "CNN is reporting that Disney has begun the process of setting up a new CGI studio with the goal of making Toy Story 3. Pixar has balked at the idea of another sequel thus far though Disney does own the rights to the franchise. Does this truly spell the end of the Disney-Pixar relationship? Can both Disney and Pixar live without the other?" We covered the Disney/Pixar breakup in January.
Further, the new season of Family Guy will be written by the folks from "Will and Grace."
Just a couple more changes that will bring you sequels just as good as the originals.
P.S. - Disney hasn't done anything original on their own in YEARS (nay, DECADES).
God Bless America. Why? Did it sneeze?
I'm sure it'll be a heart-warming family story, with both Buzz AND Woody having 2 funny sidekicks each!
(The story will actually just be a recycled Hansel and Gretel story)
If you don't know what AltaVista is (was), get off my lawn.
I really don't care if Pixar or Disney get along.
But I beg of You, please, PLEASE!
Don't let the same people who brought us Cinderella II: Now it's just for 2 year olds, Little Mermaid II: The Sea Shells got Bigger and the Story got Dumber, Lion King 1 1/2: The Pointless Version, and Pocohontas II: We Just Can't Take Historical Innacuracy with a Native American Pamela Anderson Clone Far Enough make "Toy Story 3".
I don't think it if I had to suffer my children asking me for another movie where Andy loses his Woody again, and the kids take a trip to Neverland Ranch to find it.
Oh, and thanks for Metroid Prime II.
Amen.

The interesting question for the next 5 years: Now that PIXR is free from the creative and financial shackles of DIS, will they be able to get their movies shown?
Or will DIS be able to use its distribution muscle to keep it out of theaters long enough to starve PIXR of revenue, and to serve as a warning to current "partners" that You Don't Fuck With The Mouse.
Yeah, that's almost like Coppola making Godfather Part III without Bobby Duvall. Wait, they made Part III? And they used George Hamilton? Somebody call Eisner!!!
Toy Story 3 will be vastly inferior to the first two Toy Story movies.
Yeah.
That's going out on a limb there butch.
I don't know how you can be gutsy enough to make such bold predictions.
What next? You gonna predict the sun will rise in the morning????
"Live Free or Die." Don't like it? Then keep out of the USA
Ok, now I'm convinced. There *is* a website for everything.
I wouldn't say I'm a bad gambler but the last time I went to Vegas I even lost a buck on the soda machine.
Is this meant as contradiction or support? Godfather Part III sucked.
Will Disney be getting back into good animation again? After the debacle with Treasure Planet it seems to me that they have decided to forgo the idea of continuing the good flms. If they are going to focus their efforts on crap it does make sense to sever ties with Pixar. If their future is in crap then they need to increase their in-house experience in this realm. It seems a shame to stop the good stuff, but kids obviously prefer the crap. Disney is not about making art, and they know it, they are an entertainment company that churns out the stuff that sells.
Hope this helps.
The locked it in the Disney vault.
You were a good act, but the new management will not know how to make proper use of you.
I see great ugliness in your future. Bad songs, adorable kid side-kicks, B-list actors supplying your voices, and TOY STORY 2 1/2, in which your badly rendered future selves travel back in time and bastardize your second adventure in the interest of reviving flagging DVD sales.
We should have known the franchise was in trouble when Disney allowed images of the valiant space ranger to be stamped on disposable training pants.
Farewell.

The last two years have seen unprecedented growth in bear populations in the Rocky Mountain region. As Spring approaches, tourists are advised to wear small bells attached to their clothing, as this will frighten away most bears.
Tourists are also cautioned to watch the ground on the trail for bear droppings. Be particularly alert for the presence of Grizzly bear droppings, which are easily recognized because they usually contain small bells.
If you don't want to repeat the past, stop living in it.
