Cripes. I saw "Arthur And The Invisibles" and for a blink or two I
thought someone did Grant Morrison's "The Invisibles" comic/graphic
novels.

Oh well. Damn. On how many levels would *that* rule if done by the right
team?

I really wish the CGI industry would move past farting animals and
talking rats. Will somebody please make something that kicks ass? Hello?
Anyone? Pixar seemed to be on the right track with The Incredibles. Cars
was cute and fun, but, eh...

I really should pitch my "Metal Men" concept, especially with the
collections coming out.

These films are no novelty anymore. Now that there are many companies,
and many movies each year, there is less profit. Probably only the
companies that creates good films will survive the competition.

Pixar's next project, according to current sources, is "John Carter of
Mars", from ERB's Barsoom novels.

Although that's a live-action project, as Pixar's next house-brands are
"Toy Story 3", "Brave", and then the talking newts.

TS3 looks to be more Disney than Pixar. I hadn't heard about "Brave",
and what's "talking newts"?

The clothing industry on Barsoom wasn't exactly a money-maker.

Andrew Stanton and some CGI work, but otherwise not much.

Reportedly the new title of http://pixar.wikia.com/wiki/The_Bear_and_the_Bow

(To avoid confusion with princesses and frogs.)

It promises to be slightly different from Disney's last attempt to
interpret Barsoom, via Ward Kimball...

Bodysuit.

It's certain that Disney would want some sort of clothing put on the
characters. The would likely see it as an opportunity to create a line of
clothing.

They may have decided a) the style for the movies should be realistic,
not stylized, and b) animated humans should never be done
realistically. So, Carter and the Princess will be real, everything
else CGI.

And, in fact, it's a Disney live-action production, except that Andrew
Stanton is directing, because he knows how to do realistic CGI FX.
Otherwise, he admits, Pixar isn't involved.
