A brief thread drift: I'm a little fuzzy on this whole 'Home on the Range' business. I know the pre-parade is a tool to promote the film in the park, but does the company really expect this one to be a hit? The animation looks a little remedial doesn't it? If 'Brother Bear' had trouble finding an audience, is 'Home' going to be able to find one? We are way beyond the days of 'The Little Mermaid' and 'Beauty and the Beast' aren't we? Sorry, just a brief rant.

I totaly agree with you! Disney productions have become a little cheap.... BB still had a bit of the Disney feel but HOTR looks kinda stupid! But I'll hold my thoughts untill I see it!

I say let it come. I hope people flock to the theaters just like they did to Brother Bear so that Eisner can see what a dumbass he is for axing WDAF. :fork:

I personally like the animation format used in Home On The Rnage. The overall theme reminded me ALOT of Charlottes Web, and I used to watch that all the time when I was smaller. I really like this animation style. Hercules' animation was simlilar to this wasnt it?

 

[Shaman]

Something new to talk about....and well in this case something to keep people preoccupied while I make my way to the rides....

Is Home on the Range going to have songs sung by the characters? If yes, then I can't wait to see it.

Personally, I like the animation style. The animators were trying to go as far away as possible from realism (the exact opposite of the CGI films that are so popular), The animators realized that the beauty of 2-D animation is that it should be colorful and simple, not strung with detail.

?

so what can we expect with this parade?

When's the next Pixar movie coming out? OH, wait, nevermind.

I'm excited because we'll be there at WDW when the movie opens and we'll get to see the pre-parade.

May 2004, I think! The contract is over but there are still two movies left!

The Incredibles, out in theatres November 5, 2004.

With this and Cars, Pixar has fulfilled its contractual obligations to Disney.

But do the characters sing? Or is it like a Tarzan/Brother Bear?

Thanks for Update Rob. I'm kind of interested into seeing this movie.

Ok, I think the cheapest Disney movie ever made was Atlantis. I hated that sort of animation.

Choose your words more wisely... Atlantis was a rather expensive movie to make

Yea, I understand that. It's just like I didn't enjoy the characters animation. But I loved the Special Effects used in the movie (aka: the Submarine)
