Reminds me of Madagascar.

And well isn't Disney going to buy pixar anyway? Why do they need to copy? Who wants to see basically the same story again?

Thats rather odd.. and a bit silly. Hmm.

Tue Jan 24, 2006 8:30 pm

It sounds like Madagascar and Finding Nemo all in one!
lol, I haven't seen Madagascar, so I probably won't see this one either.

That has got to be a joke..

That has to be a joke O.O And if it's not, then I hope it ends up going straight to the bargin bin in HMV. 'Cause that has to be the stupidest thing I've seen so far today.

It's not a joke. And movie companies have been ripping each other off for years.

Edit:

Wow. Disney did buy Pixar. This could actually be a good thing since Steve Jobs will now be on Disneys board of directors. Interesting.

Yeah, I know, but it's rarely quite this blatant.

Oh my. That's really.. obvious. Where are the penguins?

Hey, I didn't knew Disney bought Pixar.

I doubt this will do as well as Madagascar which appears to have a far better cast. I mean Ben Stiller (plus others) vs. Kiefer Sutherland? Nothing wrong with Kiefer but if I had a choice, I'd definitely stick with Ben.

...then again, April's not a hot time for huge movies (learned that from my fav USC professor and movie expert, Leonard Maltin when I had him last spring) so it may do well due to lack of competition and people's general need to hit the theaters.

No joke, my friends. It was in a magazine, realsed in June I believe.
Yeargh, Disney bought Pixar. Now everything good is to die.

What in the name of Disney's Frozen Head have they done?! I mean, couldn't they have been a bit subtler.

But, it's interesting to note that that this plot seems the same as the one for Toy Story 3.

And Disney bought Pixar?! We are all doomed.

Well the head of Pixar can just spend a tiny amount of his 11 billion and create a new studio called 'Pixra', fire everybody working at Pixar and replace them, then rehire them at Pixra

Being a Disneh insidar (in a way), this is not a joke. The Wild is being made by Disney (NOT Pixar) and Madagascar was made by Dreamworks. However, The Wild was thought of first.

And yes, Disney has bought Pixar. Dunno if that's good or bad, but that does mean more quality Dis/Pix movies.

They could've designed the poster so much better if they didn't want us to think "Madagascar rip-off".

See, that's my big problem with Disney lately. They come up with a good idea, waffle about it for a while, change things, and waffle some more. Then suddenly it's years later and they have to rush it to the audience, and we're already bored with the idea.
