fox the fox, rat on the rat

Yet more evidence that Pixar is superior to Disney (I mean, Disney alone).

When Disney did TARZAN, they got Phil Collins to do the music. Now, I actually like Phil Collins to an extent. I will apologize for him. Hell, I'll even see him in concert when I'm really young and have a great time. But at the end of the day... it's Phil Collins. Doing music for Disney's TARZAN.

Now Pixar is making WALL*E, and who have they majorly involved in production for as-yet-unspecified purposes?

Peter Gabriel.

Pixar drinks Disney's milkshake.

Pixar IS Disney

[tompurdue.livejournal.com]

Disney bought up Pixar a few years ago. John Lasseter, the guy who made Pixar great, is now Chief Creative Officer at Disney and supposedly has the ability to greenlight films by himself.

He's said to be trying to restore their 2D Animation department, but nothing concrete has been announced. It's not entirely surprising, since the deal is less than 2 years old and it takes three years for an animated film to go from greenlight to theaters, even if you don't have to reinvent an entire animation department to do it.

So Disney may some day have its own milkshake again, thanks to Pixar.

Huh! My instinctive reaction was fearing that the Disney's tentacles had consumed Pixar entirely (and all of a sudden, the emergence of CARS would make horrible, horrible sense), but Lesseter is now Chief Creative Officer? I knew he was trying to restore the 2D department a while ago, and I was hoping to hear more about that... but still, wow.

Hopefully we'll have a Disney worthy of Disney again. In the meantime, maybe I should readjust my post to better read:

Disney before buying Pixar: they get Phil Collins.

Disney after buying Pixar: they get Peter Gabriel.

CARS was the last film before Disney bought Pixar. RATATOUILLE was produced under Disney's rule, and it turned out just fine.

Fortunately, Pixar has found another truly great director in Brad Bird, though he doesn't have any more Pixar films scheduled. The next Pixar film after WALL-E is rumored to be a live action/digital combo of John Carter of Mars, by the same guy doing WALL-E.

Hee. Wandering off topic, I really loved Minnie Driver's voice acting in Tarzan.

"...and, Daddy, they TOOK my BOOT!"

Pixar must have be pro-elf rock so thus likes the 69-74 era of Genesis more (which is generally correct.)

As for Phil... yes, good drummer and BACKUP voice, but when I think of him I just remember interviews of him bitching petulantly about Gabriel's costumes during the Lamb tour and how they didn't have as many chicks to come to concerts when Peter fronted. When I think of him I also remember when South Park parodied him.

"Deep inside me, deep inside of me, so deep inside... i can feel it... pushing against my h'art!"

Okay, likely just me... but doesn't WALL-E look like a mix between Johnny5 and those Huey, Duey and Lewy robots that were Bruce Dern's pals in "Silent Running?"

And REALLY just me: that superbowl ad for WALL-e was robot porn... LOOK AT IT!

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

I will look at no such thing.

Man, the thought of Peter Gabriel as a sex rock god... I love the man dearly, he's one of my all-time favs... but...



Thanks to South Park, I still refer to Phil Collins as (said in the Monty Python Gumby voice) "Phirr Corrwynns!"

Oh my gosh, that WALL*E trailer is just adorable. Something about the way the little thing says its' own name makes me coo like a mother hen.

And....has there ever been a moment -right from the first second of Toy Story- where Pixar did not drink Disneys' milkshake?

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

Or Dreamworks, or that matter...

First of all, I would like to announce my pleasure at seeing Milkshake become the new pwnd.

And secondly, hey man, Phil Collins is pretty deep, you know...

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

Even though my logic ultimately turned out the be faulty, whatever, I still had the chance to employ milkshake as the new pwned.

As for Phil Collins, I dream of playing Rock Band on the drums just so I can do "In The Air Tonight." Think about it: I'd just sit there, waiting for three minutes... and then, awesomeness would result.

Also, this is still one of the most paradoxically badass things ever seen on TV:

[civilbloodshed.livejournal.com]

I think Miami Vice in general is one of the most paradoxically badass things ever seen on tv; of course, I spent almost $200 on the big ass box set "for my dad." I'll leave you to interpret those quotes on your own.

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

So I take it you, unlike many in my social circle, totally understand and sympathize with my utterly love for the awesomeness that is Michael Mann's MANHUNTER?

[civilbloodshed.livejournal.com]

Funny story, I accidentally saw that movie at a party once. I think I was drunk and mistook it for THE HUNTER, but even without Charles Bronson, it's got Brian Cox, and that's pretty awesome. So yes, I fully approve of it!

"Pixar drinks Disney's milkshake."

I love that expression. It's fucking Matt Damon.

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

hehehehe, and really, "It's fucking Matt Damon," could really work for a number of things.

By the way, have you actually seen THERE WILL BE BLOOD yet?

[adaptor.livejournal.com]

Nah, I haven't been out to the theatres for a long time.

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

Ah! Well, then that's a testament to the effectiveness to the milkshake line, that it can operate perfectly fine even for people who haven't seen its origin. Much like saying how something's been totally browncoated...

I shall recover from that potential tweaking to say, hey baby, wanna kill all humans? Call me up sometime when things settle down your way. I'd like to look into performing in L.A. sometime, so any ideas you'd have would be mighty handy. And besides, it'd give me the excuse to see you. I work best that way; see a lady, and do a show while I'm out there.

[adaptor.livejournal.com]

Cats, are you offering me dinner and a show? I accept.

I don't know when I accept, but I accept.

(This has been a bad night. So thanks. :-)

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

Hey, and if it's my show, all the better!

(Aw, sorry to hear that!)
