On EW.com today a reporter covering this weekend's Comic-con in San Diego gave a brief write up of the various presentations given by the movie stuidos. This is what was written about Disney's presentation.
"
Meanwhile, down in Hall H, Disney delighted fans with a healthy taste of the upcoming The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian. While much of his behind-the-scenes department heads sat on stage, director Andrew Adamson appeared live via satellite from Prague, where he introduced the handsomely chiseled Ben Barnes, who will play Caspian in this film and the next three in the Narnia saga. They showed unfinished footage, brought out splendidly intricate costumes and showed off an animatronic saytr named Tyrus. Producer Mark Johnson also told the crowd that the studio intends to make all seven Narnia novels into feature films, bringing one to the screen every May starting in 2008.
Then Pixar proved once again to be the master of all things animation. Director Andrew Stanton presented Pixar’s next feature WALL•E, set 700 years in the future when a little trash compactor robot named WALL•E is left on planet Earth after all its inhabitants relocate to space because they've left the planet too dirty to live on. What makes WALL•E so unique? He doesn't speak English. Pixar recruited Star Wars sound master Ben Burtt to create a unique robot language for the movie, which Burke illustrated on stage with a keyboard. The result, as usual for Pixar, was awe-inspiring. Stanton screened a five-minute clip with no words save Burtt's sounds and a score by Thomas Newman (American Beauty, Finding Nemo), and it was as emotional as any of Pixar's past fare — if not more so."
