As for the follow-ups ...I'm not Timmy Terwelp.<br /><br />As for the follow-ups being "very well written" - Oh really? Then can *you* explain why "the ratings for last Christmas' "Naughty Versus Nice' special weren't where ABC/Disney wanted them to go"?<br /><br />I was eager to see the "Secret Santa" mini-special, but was very disappointed in it - not funny, limp as a wet noodle. "Naughty Versus Nice" was worse, if anything. And it was all due to lousy scripting. What else can be blamed? The animation was fine, just like in the original. So what's YOUR theory?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5244647450237014911.post-50989457881675252102012-04-08T21:06:45.667-07:002012-04-08T21:06:45.667-07:00"And boys, will eat this up.

"Boys," the marketing demo that the Suits seem to be worried about."<br /><br />^ This sounds more like John Lasseter's true focus in movie making, certainly not <br /><br />"story, story, story."<br /><br />Cars 2 is proof that not everything that man touches turns to gold. And let's not forget that Lasseter, yes, John Lasseter, goes for buck as much as Eisner did. How so? Eisner killed off traditional animation because it was expensive and unprofitable. And what does does Lasseter do, even after claiming to be the savior of the 2D art form when being first appointed as creative head? He kills off traditional animation, resulting in the exodus of Glen Keane. Ron & John's new project is GOING to be CG, and everyone knows it. $$ speaks louder than creativity.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5244647450237014911.post-41342623159702366922012-04-08T19:30:36.670-07:002012-04-08T19:30:36.670-07:00"John Lasseter's high Pixar standards&quo..."John Lasseter's high Pixar standards"<br /><br />Yeah, get that 36% fresh on RT!

I hope to see a new Ron & John's movie with human characters.<br /><br />I read about a short titled "Paperman", a sort of hybrid of CGI and hand drawn animation. I hope "Frozen" will be like "Paperman" with a painterly look, I mean the painterly look Glen Keane wanted to do with his version of Rapunzel (a painterly look inspired by Fragonard, Rembrandt, Leonardo da Vinci).
