Pixar's "Up"
not sure what this is yet, but I know there've been non stop rumors going on about the 2009 gap in Pixar's release slate.
According to Boxofficemojo.com, that gap has been filled by a movie called Up.
I'm assuming this is the next project from Monsters, Inc. director Pete Docter.

No, Jake. Traditionally, Disney animated films used to be Christmas events. It was only in the 1990s that Katzenberg tried the summer approach...a major experiment that payed off with The Lion King's grosses.Jake wrote:So I guess "The Princess and The Frog" will have a Christmas release date.
I was kind of hoping for summer; like it used to be.
Since then we've gotten more animation in the summer, but their "like it used to be" was always more geared to winter releases.

Regarding Up, I kind of hope it's the Chapman project; she hasn't directed anything at Pixar yet, and I love her work at Disney and DreamWorks. But if it's the Docter or Rydstrom project, I won't mind at all.
Although Pixar is my favorite animation studio, I'm glad they're making a film with a woman director. Chapman seemed to disappear after Chicken Run, and I'm glad she's back in the game.

WinkWhat does one commonly associate with the word "up"?
7? (As in, 7up -- the soda)
Wasn't there a cartoon once starring the 7 Up soda dot?

BTW, I know it's a "Pixar Project", but is "Up" going to be an animated film, or a live-action/CGI thing AKA John Carter of Mars, etc....
EDIT: Well, the page said Genre: Animation, but they probably don't know a whole lot either and just assume it's animation because it says "Pixar"....

You can’t just have your characters announce how they feel! That makes me feel angry!

I just hope it's actually animated, not some CGI/live-action "what I really want to do is direct" kind of deal....![Confused :?](./images/smilies/icon_new_confused.png)
I loved Doctor's Monsters Inc. though, (IMHO Doctor "gets" classic Disney far more than Lassetter does) so I hope it's in that vein.![Happy :)](./images/smilies/icon_new_smile.png)

two people reported the exact same information to me too. I'm going to have to buy a copy of the mag for myself I think.
Is this going to be the most adventurous Pixar film to date?
So anyway, Pete Doctor directing, Bob Peterson co-directing with Ronnie Del Carmen head of story.

Up (2009)
Pete Docter, the Pixar lifer who made Monsters, Inc, and co-director Bob Peterson are preparing this "coming-of-old-age story" about a seventysomething guy who lives in a house that "looks like your grandparents' house smelled." He befriends a clueless young Wilderness Ranger and gets into lots of alter kocker altercations. Says Pixar: "Our hero travels the globe, fights beasts and villains and eats dinner at 3:30 in the afternoon."
Interesting!

EDIT: Oops, misread it....it was "seventysomething" (I thought it said twentysomething." Sounds cool though, except for the whole buddy thing again.
