The latest upcoming Pixar movie, Up, appears to go where no other Hollywood animated film dares... back to the ink well. From Pixar Planet-
Up is Pixar’s tenth animated film scheduled for theatrical release June 12, 2009. In an earlier issue of TIME, director Pete Docter described Up as a "coming-of-old-age story" about a seventy-something guy who lives in a house that "looks like your grandparents’ house smelled." He befriends a clueless young Wilderness Ranger and gets into lots of altercations. Says Pixar: "Our hero travels the globe, fights beasts and villains and eats dinner at 3:30 in the afternoon."
So let me get this straight. These fools are making a 2D animated film about a 70 year old man.
Okay.
By now you could tell me they were making a film about shopping for socks and I would still be like, "Sure. They can totally make that work."

can Pixar's "Let's Read the Dictionary" be far behind?
and itll make $200 million.
These guys are invincible. Not even the box office poison of Larry The Cable Guy can kill one of their pictures.
I did not like Cars...at all...okay Paul Newman is great...no....not at all.
I like that they are going back to ink, but I'm not so sure that a 70-year old main character is the way to go. I have a feeling they are setting us up for a tear-jerker when the old man dies in the end, to teach kids that "life is precious and you should live each day to its fullest until your last".
