What type of politics?

I'm betting the usual stuff.... Tax Cuts, War, Gay Marriage and where exactly will the new spinner based on the moive will go.

 

[BRERALEX]

where exactly will the new spinner based on the moive will go.

Epcot doesn't have a spinner. They might as well tear down JIYI.

J/k

What type of politics?

The rumors going around say that this movie was screened for John Lasseter shortly after Disney purchased Pixar and all the press releases about Mr. Lasseter becoming the "leader" in Animation and Imgaineering.

The rumors go on to say that Mr. Lasseter told Feature Animation that the move needed changes and reworking before it could be released. Burbank's response was essentially to tell him "you're not the boss of me" and kicked him out of the building. Mr. Lasseter, again to the rumors, has been frozen out of the Disney side of Animation - the cease fire being that Pixar takes care of Pixar characters and Disney does what it wants despite what the org chart says.

It's an interesting rumor for those who are hoping the Pixar brain trust can breathe some creative life back into Disney.

The trailer looks much better than the "Chicken Little" Trailer and that was a marginally acceptable production...

 

[Tink's Tormentor]

The movie actually looks somewhat watchable.

The trailer for Pirates 3 isn't running?

 

[Mecha Figment]

Disney need help. thats all there is to it. it's last 5 films have been finacial disasters.
because the story just wasnt' there.

grant it brother bear was a good film.

and i liked chicken little , it just seemd more like a direct to video movie, not a feature film.

Which last 5 films are you referring to?

 

[cxcelica]

I saw Santa Clause 3 and was really disappointed. I thought it could have been alot better. I liked Santa Clause and also thought that Santa Clause 2 was really funny.

That being said even though word of mouth was bad I thought it had a chance because I like Tim Allen, Martin Short and Alan Arkin.

Unfortunately it just did not do it.

Out of the trailers for the new disney movies, nothing really interested me. I guess Meet the Robinsons had slight interest, only because the T-Rex part made me laugh.(I am thinking of the correct movie right?)

Lets just get to POC3

 

[CarnotaurDad]

I'll second the question as to which five last Disney films have been financial disasters.

According to IMDB.com, the last five Disney films were:

* Santa Clause 3
* Invincible
* POTC: DMC
* Stick It
* The Wild

The only one of those five that could be considered a failure is The Wild. Are the others missing?

 

[Another Voice]

I believe the poster was refering the to last five animated films.

As the live action films listed, only Dead Man's Chest could be considered a box office success. All the others basically bombed in the theaters. Winning a weekend like Invincible did doesn't mean that much when a movie has to cover both its own costs and supply millions of dollars in studio overhead. For a major studio movie to have even break even today it has to cross $100 million at the box office.

There's a reason Disney has fired 25% of the studio workforce.

 

[MJMcBride]

For a major studio movie to have even break even today it has to cross $100 million at the box office.

I assume you're only talking movies with fairly large budgets. Romantic comedies and the like don't cost nearly as much as special effect laden movies.

Anywho, I'm off for 9 days at WDW tomorrow morning. See you cats when I get back.

 

[YoHo]

You can respond when you get back, but he did say MAJOR studio movies. You yourslef quoted it, but even that's a misnomer. Those Low budget romantic comedies still cost millions in promotion. I think it's safe to say that any movie that's been advertised at all (Trailers, TV, Print) needs to break $100 million to be a success.


Honestly, I wait for 9 days hense when you suggest this isn't true, but everybody I know "in the industry" rock solidly agrees with this.

We saw the trailer for MTR during NBC:3D and thought it looked very cool. The 3D was much more for lack of better words 3D than that found in NBC 3D. We are looking forward to seeing it. Although I don't know about sitting through another full length 3D movie I got one heck of a headache, anyone else?

Thats not true and I'm back

 

[YoHo]

Again, I know a couple people in the movie business and they agree, $100million minimum for any significant release.
