Bastards...

John Lasseter, the creative chief of Pixar Animation Studios, has wasted no time asserting who is boss after Pixar's takeover by Walt Disney - by stopping production of Toy Story 3, the controversial sequel to the two wildly successful animated films.

The original Toy Story, completed in 1995, was the first major collaboration between Pixar and Disney. Thehighly lucrative partnership went on to produce the hits Toy Story 2, A Bug's Life, Finding Nemo, Monsters Inc and The Incredibles.

However, the joint venture became strained, partly because of personality clashes between the then Disney chief executive, Michael Eisner, and Pixar's chief executive, Steve Jobs, and partly because of Disney's desire to keep the Toy Story franchise running with a third and forth movie.

So they killed the sequel... Lets hope they did it for the right reasons. TS3 would have obviously made bank. Maybe they are looking forward to more new and original film concepts.

Why did this merger give me flashbacks to Anikin and Palpatine?

Why is it bad that they're quenching an already stale idea?

Do we really need another sequel? How about an original idea?

Wasn't Disney making Toy Story 3 without Pixar?
It would have been straight to DVD...

good idea

Pixar doesnt want to make sequels, to make Toy story 2 was forced upon them by Disney. Even Disney provided most of the animators for toy story 2, most traditional animators doing 3d animation for the first time.

This doesn't make sense... Pixar didn't want sequels... and Disney did. As soon as Disney took over Pixar, they axed the sequel. Shouldn't this have turned out completely opposite.

What I want to know, is who is responsible for Bambi 2? BAMBI 2!!! Someone please strangle that man in his sleep.

What is next?

Cinderella 2- The fairy godmother comes back and gives another hopeless young girl a chance at stealing cinderellas man because cinderella's cooch has become frigid from so many years of the high life and screwing the court jester because the prince doesnt want her anymore after she put on 50...

Beauty and the Beast 2 - The beast just aint beastly enough anymore....this can be a great crossover---Beauty meets shrek, and sparks fly as a love triangle of uglies gets completely out of control.

Snow White 2 - The seven dwarves finally hatch a plan to once and for all snatch back their love slave - Think about how epic the final battle will be between the forces of prince charming and the dwarven alliance....its so EPIC. More epic than the last battle in the LOTR movies!!!

The Little Mermaid 2 - The little mermaid aint so little anymore. After several years of marriage, she has become a controlling b*tch because of all the old habits she learned from back in the day with ursula the evil sea witch...her man leaves her! It will be an adventure of intrigue and self-development as the little mermaid must first learn to love herself before she can love another....her fire/water crotch alone just aint enough to satisfy anymore!

Aladdin 2 (or is it 4 by now?)- The genie comes back to exact revenge on aladdin. Genie forgot to tell aladdin that he is a servant of the devil and must serve his master. A whole new world indeed!

Pinocchio 2 - All he wanted to be was a real boy...until he found love. Only to find out that his love was....a wooden puppet! Pinocchio must track down gepetto and have him turn him back into a fake boy again...because being real is one thing, but getting some is entirely another!

DUmbo 2 - The crows have been sneaking in his tent at night and whispering in his ears, planting subliminal messages in his ears that he is an elephant for crying out loud, and can't fly no matter how big his ears are. After a massive self esteem crisis, dumbo must learn how to fly all over again...only this time, he must deal with poachers out to kill him for his tusks now that he is a real elephant.

Fantasia 2 - Set to modern classics such as "Smack my bitch up", "One step closer (SHUT UP WHEN IM TALKING TO YOU MINNIE! SHUUUUUT UPPPPPPP!), "Bling Bling", "Shake ya ass"....

Pocahontas 2 - She has become so trusting of the white man that she doesnt even question the gift of....a blanket! Now she must struggle to understand why all her people are dying as she slowly succumbs to smallpox...a tear jerker!

Pixar axed the sequel after they got taken over, to "assert who is boss". Says it right in the first line of the article.

Only of conventional Hollywood.
The Pixar lineup (as listed) is relatively fresh.

Disney bought Pixar with shares and now Steve Jobs is the biggest shareholder in Disney.

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: that was a good one :laugh:

But I could see a reason for Bambi 2.

Bambi has now come of age and is horny as hell. It is time for the rut, but hundreds of hunters and other deer must make sure he doesn't get any. Will bambi be able to get dat doe? Or will he be forced to use his old friend the rabbit as a substitute? A real action movie :D :laugh:

Good, I would've hated to see Disney screw up a sequel just to make some money. Last I checked, the original voices weren't signed on, were they?

Iger gave Pixar creative control over Disney's and Pixar's animation studios. It's their call.
