Crew Listing and Early Buzz on Disney's Bears
'Sir Farticus' sends us an exclusive report from Florida, and reports that Travis Blaise is supervising animation the main character Kenoia as a human, while Byron Howard (John Henry and Lilo & Stitch's Cobra Bubbles) will give life to Kenoia as a bear; Brooke Johnson (Ling and Chien Po in Mulan) and Jim Jackson (Lilo's Grand Counsil woman) are in charge of Ruke and Tuke, and Alex Kuperschmidt (The Lion King's hyenas, Stitch) is animating the older brother character of Kenoia. How is the production going along? "[It] has been through a lot of ups and downs, as all productions go through. unfortunately, this project hadn't brewed long enough in story. Some seem to be excited about it, others think it not to be much more than the typical modern Disney film. Time will tell! What I can tell you is that the look of the film is, unfortunately, very close to Pochahontas. Now, I saw designs about a year ago, but as far as I understand things haven't changed. So, the film looks just 'blahish', very bland... I haven't seen any work reels but from what I've heard from people who have it's nothing to gloat about. especially after working on Lilo. As i said before, the story didn't have the incubation time to cook that it needed."
