I'm actually looking forward to it. When I first heard of the project I thought it had potential to be a very good film.

Pixar sure does churn 'em out fast.
Do you like John Williams? His early work was a little too jazzy for my taste, but when Jaws came out in '75 I really think he came into his own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and an air of consummate professionalism that really gives the pieces a big boost. He's been compared to Jerry Goldsmith but I think John has a far more leitmotif-driven style of composing. In '82 John composed this, E.T., his most accomplished album to date. I think his undisputed masterpiece is "The Magic of Halloween", a theme so catchy most people don't listen to what it means. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of childhood and the importance of friendship, it's also a personal statement about the man himself. Hey Paul!

Apparently, this was first pitched in 1994.

Yes, but it seems Pixar has been able to release a film every year to couple of years, which is pretty incredible.

I dont actually think they are that fast. By this year they would have put out 8 films since 1995, while Dreamworks Animation would have done 9 since 1998 (excluding 2D and stop motion cartoons)

But, you have to consider that 2 of those 9 movies were sequels which they already had the engine and all that stuff for.I dont actually think they are that fast.

PIXAR don't churn them out - they have different people working on different films at any one time. They often overlap production of films; Finding Nemo and The Incredibles were simultaneous for a long while.
The difference between them and Dreamworks for instance is the talent. All of the right people are at PIXAR.

Just read in Time magazine that Star Wars sound designer (and Williams arch-enemy) Ben Burtt is going to be "electronically" voicing the main characters in the film and that the movie's plot is actually based on City Lights, a Charlie Chaplin silent film. Interesting...

A step down, but not so big a step that it wouldn't still be an enjoyable movie. And I'd still rank it higher than A Bug's Life (although I have yet to re-watch Cars).

Do the formulaic Dreamworks films have a single bit of timelessness or longetivity?
Every single one is based around pop references and cute animals (the formula for non-Pixar 3D animation it seems).

Blah blah blah. I doubt he'll have as much influence as on the Star Wars prequels.
And if anyone can come up with cool sound-driven voices for robots, it's Ben Burtt.

Yeah!
But in the process he may fight his way becuase he doesnt like music overshadowing his work.
Sorry, this is not blah blah.
We would have gotten a great AOTC Arena scene if this guy hadnt opened his mouth.
(and well if Lucas hadnt agreed with him, and Ken Wannberg and John Williams had more guts
)

There's always a competition between sound effects and music. Every sound designer comes across that.

Yes no need to bash Burtt. His work on sound effects for all six films is and was fantastic. The only problem is he probably shouldn't have been made editor.

Pixar is also guilty of retelling the same pinocchio tale over and over again (Nemo and Cars).
Pictures, visual images, are far better to achieve that end than any words, particularly now, when the world has lost all mystery and magic and speech has become mere chatter, empty of meaning - Andrei Tarkovsky

Cant' believe my eyes really.
hope to see the same about lucas someday. (armageddon, i suppose)
Really, the guy just switches company (to a loved and popular one) and transfroms from butcher great sound designer to just great sound designer...

His creative sound work is genius.
His aesthetics of the soundscape is questionable. His mix of Revenge of the Sith was particularly weak.

I happen to agree with Marian here. Most people seem to believe that Pixar's "winning streak" came to an end with Cars, but I'd actually rate A Bug's Life, Pixar's second major feature, below it.A step down, but not so big a step that it wouldn't still be an enjoyable movie. And I'd still rank it higher than A Bug's Life (although I have yet to re-watch Cars).
Until the release of Ratatouille later this month, this is how the films rank for me:
Classic
1. Toy Story 2 (1999)
2. Toy Story (1995)
3. The Incredibles (2004)
-
Great
4. Monsters, Inc. (2001)
5. Finding Nemo (2003)
-
Good
6. Cars (2006)
7. A Bug's Life (1998)

Monsters, Inc and Finding Nemo are ok , the rest of them are really...annoying.
I've always liked more Dreamworks' stuff.They are more original and something new comparing to
pixar's movies , which are just traditional Disney stuff in a different package.
