If we don't know...the powers that be certainly don't....
perhaps I am reading the wrong things, but several animation blogs had pointed to a hand-drawn version of mort.Is this no longer in play? I am not that good at this rumor mill.
Ron Clements and john musket? Started with 2010, said to be slated for 2014?
I may not stop going, but I have no problem going to Universal Orlando Resort, and even SeaWorld Orlando (across their whole chain they are also pushing forward), more often than I go to Walt Disney World. And when I do make it to Walt Disney World, it is for less and less time.We all know none of us are going to stop going to Disney, and we can enjoy both properties.
Adventureland ride right there!The two directors are working on a different project now, their animation tests apparently involved some kind of Tiki-like character so it could be one set in Polynesia.
Terry Pratchett, one of the best loved fantasy writers in the world, and his books, based on a fictional world called the disc world. There were rumors that his book Mort, was to be made into a hand-drawn animated movie, in 2014. I think that could, if done right, be an incredible win for disney, and could lead to the possibility of their own fantasy world to rival Potter. Something like 40+ books in that series. But disney often disappoints and ruins stories, so I am not holding my breath. Party for going off-track, back to your normally scheduled conversation!I guess "disc world" could be something based on Tron?
sad. I would love them to do every one of them!You are right that Ron Clements and John Musker were working on an adaptation of Mort, a novel that is part of Terry Pratchett's Discworld series of fantasy novels. The film was abandoned because WDAS couldn't purchase the rights to the book without also buying the film rights to other books in the series (I saw a rumour that they could only use Mort if they agreed to buy the rights to at least two other Discworld novels). The two directors are working on a different project now, their animation tests apparently involved some kind of Tiki-like character so it could be one set in Polynesia.
I find it interesting that Disney is tying up a huge chunk of its loose end projects by December 6th:
Test Track
New Fantasyland ( minus the mine train and Princess hall )
Splitsville
and I would imagine the tangled bathrooms and Legend of Jack Sparrow at DHS
That definitely sets them up to highlight some new projects Dec 7th, that would be starting early next year. We have been hearing from insiders that FotLK is scheduled to start being moved first thing next year which gets the ball rolling on Avatar. Now if they could just surprise us with an official announcement of Carsland I think we'd be in a really good place!
Princess Hall - 2013
Mine Train - 2014
Avatar - 2015
Carsland - 2016
It's also Pearl Harbor day...can we draw any parallels??

There is no reason for them to announce Carsland before D23 officially.

Pearl Harbor. "Pearl Harbor" movie by James Cameron. "Pearl Harbor" movie water stunt show in Backlot Tour at DHS. PARALLELS!!!!It's also Pearl Harbor day...can we draw any parallels??
well there is that little bit about people expecting NEW NEWS at D23, not old news. Dress to impress.. not disappoint with a secret that is over 10 months old.
Carsland would be a pretty lame D23 announcement unless its mostly different from the CA version.
"Have we got an out of this world announcement for you! So you know that Carsland we have been hyping up and revealing details for for the past two D23 events? Well guess what SURPRISE! It's coming to Walt Disney World! hooray!"
