Looks like it could've been great. I really like the imagery and character designs. What a shame.

 

[Xun]

Very old

Still it's a real shame this didn't come to fruition, even if the story was very similar to Rio.

 

[Violet_0]

I love this villain/character

 

[Choke on the Magic]

How about some Cars 3. My son loves those movies.

If they do another feature, you'll probably be waiting until at least 2017, unless it somehow gets the November 2015 release slot that is either an unknown film or just a holding position for Disney to insert whichever of Finding Nemo 2 or the Dia de los Muertos movie is most ready.

There's always all the shorts they make, and maybe your son will love the Planes spinoff that hits in August.

Cars 2 was bad

ILM Durango beat them to market.

Planes? He'll be down. He loves vehicles that talk. Just like his dad. Then someday a man named Michael Bay will come take what he loves so dear destroy it.

What is he saying there?

"Or?" I can't make it out.

 

[Andrew.]

Pixar mostly makes good movies. Mostly.

 

[ElectricBlue187]

Guys we gotta face it, the movie would have been even more pointless than Finding Nemo. Amphibian shit is always b-tier when it comes to Pixar and even Disney's own stuff. Sure the movie might have been alright, but it wasn't going to be Toy Story or the Incredibles. Even the Little Mermaid was b-tier to stuff like Sleeping Beauty or Snow White. Not saying the film didn't deserve its fair shot, but yeah.

lol Finding Nemo is pointless. Goodness.

 

[Xun]

lol Finding Nemo is pointless. Goodness.

You've got to realise that Pixar is shit.

They have no idea what they're doing, and they've always made terrible, terrible movies.

"Her?"

It's a recurring gag on Arrested Development.

Things like this are usually cancelled for good reasons. And I wouldn't doubt if some of the better ideas resurface in other films or projects down the road.

 

[Ether_Snake]

I think they need to move away from animal stories. Wall-E and Ratatouille were more creative (yes I know there were rats in ratatouille, but it wasn't the point of the movie at all, it could have been hobos and it would have been the same story, there was no stupid cat-chasing-rat sequence or anything like that).

You know Newt would have had a scene where the lizard has to cross a street and avoid cars, and one where he gets his tail trapped in a door and it pops off.

[Munin]

You don't cancel a film because of a sub par film like Rio. You gotta believe that your better is better than their better.

Rio was better than the last 3 movies Pixar has made

come at me bros

Rio was absolutely a medicore-to-bad movie. The terrible co-starring human characters really drag it down

I'm pretty sure he's being sarcastic.

Based on what we know, it looks like they're doing just that.

Sarcasm my dear friend.

I was mimicking the recent dislike for anything Pixar by a large majority of GAF members.

I've noticed a few people on GAF jump on the bandwagon.

 

[qindarka]

I've noticed a few people on GAF jump on the bandwagon.

Or could it be that some GAF members genuinely don't like some of their movies. The sentiment towards Pixar is still overwhelmingly positive. Hardly a 'large majority' that dislikes them.

my quick review of their most recent work

Wall-E
Up (after the first 15 minutes) :-/
Toy Story 3
Cars 2 :-(
Brave :-/

reason enough to be somewhat disappointed

Large majority was the wrong thing to say, but many on GAF view Pixar as doomed, which isn't the case.

 

[Hot Coldman]

Up is a fucking fantastic film. Such a sweet, funny, beautiful film.

 

[GhostWriter24]

Newts are disgusting animals. I'm glad they canceled it.

So are Rats and Bugs but they managed to make a great movie about them, right?

 

[qindarka]

I'm not the biggest fan of Pixar but some of the backlash against Cars 2 and Brave has been a little annoying. I'm sure that many who bash Cars 2 haven't even watched it. They've still been making good movies recently, perhaps others had higher expectations of them.

I've seen both and I hope Planes will be better but Cars 2 was a blatant cash grab of a movie, unworthy of the Pixar name. Brave was fine, nothing amazing but it was well made.

Don't worry about Planes. It isn't being made by Pixar.

 

[Hex]

This was interesting looking, I am also sad that King of the Elves will never be made.
Some of the concept art looked amazing.
