Pixar's New Toy Line Debuts In May?

An the Annual Shareholders Meeting Tuesday in Oakland it was revealed that the Board had taken a trip to Emeryville to see the Pixar campus...

While there they got to see a work-in-progress print of "Up" that was enjoyed very much, but the surprise cherry on top was seeing a scene from next years "Toy Story 3" that gets me wondering:

Will we see a trailer for it attached to Up?

Such has been the case for the majority of the last decade with each previous film: there's always been a nice trailer for the following one. So do we have a little more than two more months before we get our first glimpse of Woody and Buzz in a decade?

I've sent messages to several Bothans and am patiently waiting(NOT!) to hear back from them regarding this summation.

Tick, Tick, Tick, Tick, Tick...

Knowing When And Where To Hold 'Em...

The Walt Disney Company held its Annual Stockholder's Meeting in Albquerque this morning...

It was a short one. Only about an hour and a half. John Pepper quickly introduced Bob Iger.

Briefly...

- The price of the Mouse's stock rose fifteen percent over the last half decade, which outpaced the S & P 500 of eleven percent.

- A list of many of the movies we've already reported on and their state of production. Not much new here.

- A new clip from "Wall-E" was revealed for the Stockholders that hadn't been released publicly.

- A very busy John Lasseter was unable to attend. Many were looking to hear from him regarding the state of Walt Disney Animation Studios. Suffice it to say, "Bolt" continues to bring on animators as it ramps up to meet the November deadline for its debut. Not much was spoken of in any great detail regarding the coming "Princess and the Frog" or "Rapunzel"... one expects next year's meeting to provide considerably more fireworks.

- Not much discussion of Blu-Ray though... interesting.

- The release of "Song of the South" won't be released on "little silver discs at this time"... notice they said little silver disc, not little Blu-ones. Hmmm.

Overall, a very simple and lean get together. Roy Disney was there, but didn't take the stage.

If anything develops we'll have additional posts...
