Pixar's WALL• E, Up & Toy Story 3 Details!

The new issue of TIME magazine talks about what's ahead for Pixar Animation Studios, including new details on the company's next three films after Ratatouille, opening on June 29. Here is what you can expect:

WALL• E (June 27, 2008)

The studio synopsis: "The year is 2700. WALL• E, a robot, spends every day doing what he was made for. But soon, he will discover what he was meant for." Andrew Stanton, writer-director of "Finding Nemo" (still Pixar's biggest box-office hit), describes this metallic love story as "R2-D2 meets City Lights," with WALL• E meeting a cute robot named Eve. Those who remember the 1931 Charlie Chaplin film, about a blind girl wooed by a tramp she mistakenly believes is a rich man, can transpose the story to a lonely planet and guess from there. The main roles will be "voiced" electronically by Ben Burtt, the wizardly sound designer behind Star Wars.

Up (June 12, 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."

Toy Story 3 (2010)

Originality is a Pixar hallmark. None of the company's films have been based on fairy tales or novels, and only "Toy Story" has spawned sequels. Why a third adventure for Woody (Tom Hanks) and Buzz (Tim Allen)? "We got an idea we thought would be really great," says Lee Unkrich, who co-directed "Toy Story 2" and "Finding Nemo" and graduates to full director status here. "We're just starting to write the story," he confides, adding, "I wake up every morning hoping for a eureka moment." He and the Brain Trust have already had one inspiration: they've asked Randy Newman to write the score. Or was that a no-brainer?

Pixar by far is the greatest in cartoon genera in the 21st century. Being a huge Toy Story fan...the following questions have been rolling around in my head. (1) Was Woody passed down from Andy's father and Bo Peep from Andy's mother? {thinking there is not an adequate amount of information on Andy’s parents} (2) Will Andy be grown with kids of his own and with the toys passed on to the next (possibly third) generation? {thinking the fate of abandonment takes place as Jesse describes in part 2, how the characters deal with the irony, and then only to be revived by Andy's future family showing the cycle of life continues.} (3) In part 1 (in the beginning) and in part 2 (during the Jesse flash back) there is a South Western panoramic picture (painting) that are displayed on the wall...is there a hidden hint for part 3? (4) Will Woody's Roundup make it to the Big Screen? (5) Will Molly be driving and if so did Andy teach her how to drive? (6) Will T-Rex become the predator and role play with a vegetarian dinosaur? There are additional questions which are not as important like (6) Is Sid Big Al's illegitimate child? (7) Will the Stinky Pete Prospector team up with the “Ratz” dolls to cause havoc in Andy's house hold? (8) Will Mr. & Mrs. Potato Head’s family play a key role in part 3? (9) Will Andy and Hanna begin a relationship only to have Sid intervene? (10) Why do most movies end or sequence them selves in the factor of 3? I believe 10 questions is enough for now. Pixar Animation Studios, John Lasseter, Lee Unkrich and/or Ash Brannon, if you happen to read this, I just wanted to say thanks for all the enjoyable entertainment through out the years, my complements to the staff and personal who have brought forth the greatest in creativity and imagination, and may the fortune and prosperity grow for many more generations to come.
