It's Jack Black, I'll probably see it.

And Pixar is a fine company at that. Compare it to Dreamworks. Sure, Dreamworks has a few decent movies like Shrek and Over the Hedge, but the majority is dreck like Bee Movie, Shark Tale, and the Shrek sequels. To further my point of Dreamworks' mediocrity, take a look a look at this and this.
Well, they've based most of their success off of ripping off Pixar (I understand that they've got a superhero movie in the works).

You know, there's supposed to be a Toy Story 3 eventually...

I'm anticipating Toy Story 3, though.

Woah woah woah!!.. They're making a Toy Story 3?
Kinopio is the ultimate video game character! Who else can drive a kart, host parties, play tennis, give good advice and items, and is almost always happy??

This is very old news D:

Yes a third Toy Story is in the works, and has been ever since Disney and Pixar merged together back in 2006.

Whether or not the thread/poll will survive this is up to the users. I might bump it when it comes out, if I still even come here by that time.

If anyone's still here by that time...

Well, from what I heard, the plot of the Toy Story 3 was supposed to be that all the Buzz Lightyear toys get recalled because of some sort of defect and they have to get him back. Maybe, in light of all the lead paint incidents these days, they don't want to seem insensitive...

EDIT: Oh, well, what do you know... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toy_Story_3

Also, here's some other "on the radar" Pixar flicks (Not counting the aforementioned Wall-E):

-Up
-Newt
-The Bear and the Bow
-Cars 2

That storyline was dropped, as it was pitched by Disney people and not Pixar, so once the merge was made, the animation studio as well as the title were dropped, yet it was picked up again about a year later, with a much better (and actually relevant to the series) story, with the characters being sent to a day-care center as Andy goes off to college.

I was not aware of newt or The Bear and the Bow, though.

Sheesh, Pixar has got a lot of their shoulders. Honestly, I'm not anticipating any of those as much as The Princess and the Frog. Why?
-First traditionally animated Disney film for years now.
-Set in the French Quarter during the jazz age.
-John Musker and Ron Clements (directed Little Mermaid and Aladdin).
-A black Disney princess?!?! Oh no they didn't!

Amazing. I thought they shut down traditional animation at Disney.
That was a joke.

I'm pretty sure they did, but after they bought Pixar, John Lasseteer (that would be the name of the head of Pixar if it was spelled correctly) was put in charge of Disney's animation department, and I guess he brought it back. (he also told them to stop making crappy sequels, iirc) So you can thank Pixar for that movie, too.

Traditional animation, as in drawing things about a million times, WAS shut down, and never brought back. They still make non-3D movies, but digital cel is used instead.

Wow... things that look... drawn? Incredible!

Of course, Disney has tried their hand at plenty of CG movies without Pixar, but the results are always mixed (almost everyone I knew as a kid said Dinosaur sucked... but I could never get a reason out of them. I mean, aside from the innovative background implementation, it was nothing to stand up and shout about--especially the character names--but...). Chicken Little wasn't that bad.

I disliked every non-Pixar 3D film Disney has made. =/

Well, let's just see a list, shall we? To be honest, I can't really recall what they all are...

-Dinosaur
-Chicken Little
-Meet the Robinsons

...Dang, I thought there was more than that. Well, while we're on the topic, check out this page:

Looks like they've got some crazy stuff in store... (Jim Carrey as motion-capture Scrooge=SOTA)
