Latests From Disney

Well the cat's outta the bag as to what Disney's next project will be. Walt Disney Pictures has selected a release date for its long in the works adaptation of Hans Christian Anderson’s THE SNOW QUEEN, titled FROZEN. It's a 3-D animated feature that will be screening on Nov. 27, 2013. The film takes the place of Pixar's Untitled Dinosaur Film on the schedule.

Related news, Marvel Studios has moved up the release of its rumored CAP 2 secret 2014 release from June 27 to April 4.

Pixar's lineup

So the latest on Pixar's upcoming lineup for 2012 and 2013 are, Brave and Monster's University respectively. I was looking around for information on the upcoming title "Brave" and found it to be quite interesting. Well first off it's Pixar's very first fairytail-ish feature. Apparently, it's also a first attempt at moving a little away from the Pixar film norms with a slightly darker storyline and grittier plot. More information on Wiki.

Captain America

Hey people, just came across something that I thought i'd share. Was reading an article recently on Cap the movie and apparently, to get the effect for skinny Steve Rogers and the bulky one, they went all out with altering the image in post production...FRAME BY FRAME. Kudos to the studio that took the time and effort man....must have been a crazy ride. Full article can be found here:

Kung Fu Panda 2

Well, while I was back in Singapore, I took the opportunity to catch Kung Fu Panda 2. Gotta say, it's AWESOME. They really did a number on this one. Animation I felt was probably even better than the 1st, especially on the shots with Shen the peacock. Totally awe inspiring. Story wise, Panda 1 probably had a better script and plot, not to say that it was bad but just wasn't as wow'd by it like I was the first time around. Overall, a must see animation feature, if you have yet to catch it you better get to it!

Just watched RIO

I managed to catch RIO today, gotta say it was pretty awesome. It looked sweet and the animation was crazy good. I think they nailed the atmosphere and the whole feel of the show. Music was spot on and characters were nicely developed. Nigel the Cockatoo was especially nice due to his flamboyant nature and attitude. Would have been nice to see him develop just a little bit more. I think probably the only thing not as wow-zers would have to be the general plot is quite expected and normal. Nothing extra ordinary or special happens in the story that you'd already expect.

Overall I think I enjoyed it more than MegaMind but probably still not as much as Tangled. Well....just my thoughts on it. Excellent show though, so for those thinking of catching it, you probably should.

Monsters Inc 2 pushed back to 2013

Monsters Inc 2 or Monsters University as it is now called has been pushed back to 2013. Judging from what little information that has been released, it seems likely that it will serve as a prequel to the original Monsters Inc.
