Will Pixar’s Next Project “Up” Be a Traditional 2D Animated Film?

Source: The Movie Blog



Yesterday our friends over at The Movie Blog posted a promotional image from Pixar’s next project, a movie called simply Up. There isn’t much known about the movie at this point, other than the fact that it will be directed by Pete Docter (Monsters, Inc.) and that it stars a 70-year-old man who joins forces with a wilderness ranger to travel the globe and fight monsters. At the very least, the fact that the hero is not a young kid is certainly something different.

Now, the curious thing about the promotional image for the movie is that it would seem to indicate that the movie is going to be a traditional 2D film. Could Pixar really be trying their hand at a non-CG flick? It’s entirely possible that this is just a piece of concept artwork with no bearing on what the final product will look like, however, I haven’t been able to find any official mention of the movie being computer animated either. Anyone who bought the Ratatouille DVD knows that Pixar produced a 2D short for it called Your Friend The Rat, and there were rumours way back in 2003 that Pixar was starting up a 2D Animation Division. Maybe I’m grasping at straws here, but it does seem like it’s at least a possibility, no matter how remote. Personally I’d love to see what Pixar could do with a feature length 2D movie. CGI is fine, but a little variety out there in theatres would be great… don’t you agree?

Hmmmmzzz...
interesting...

Dat lijkt me idd getekend te zijn, of op zn minst brilliante composting/cell shading :p;)
Is alleszins véél te gedetailleerd om nog concept zijn, ma dan aan de anderen kant hebben we wel die vliegtuigen in de bg die belachelijk dichtbij staan vr final frame te zijn...

Bleh, nieuwe film komt eraan, ze lekken 1 imageke nr de pers en de hele wereld heeft iets om over te praten en te hypen... Ik wacht vrolijk af se
