Pixar Animation Studios announced Saturday at the D23 exhibition organized by Disney in Anaheim, south of Los Angeles that they will make, in 2013 – 2014, movies about dinosaurs and about the mysteries of the human brain.
Creative Director of Disney and Pixar animation studios, John Lasseter, unveiled the new Pixar projects, which this year reaches 25 years of existence and has become known with productions such as “Toy Story”, “Finding Nemo”, “Cars “and” Ratatouille”.
Neither of the two films which will be released after “Brave” (which will be launched in the summer of 2012) and “Monsters University” (which will be released in the summer of 2013) has no title yet, but the first one will be dedicated to dinosaurs. Animation will be done by Bob Peterson, who signed the scenarios for “Finding Nemo” and “Up”.
The film will present the life of dinosaurs as their extinction had never existed. “In our film, the dinosaurs will continue to exist”, said Peterson.
“Untitled film from Pixar about dinosaurs”, as Peterson called it, will be released for the big screen in December 2013 during Christmas.
For the summer of 2014, Pixar wants to release “the untitled film from Pixar that will transport you in a human head”, said Pete Docter, who has already made for Pixar “Up “and” Monsters, Inc.”
Docter said that he wants to take viewers “in the world that everyone knows, but where no person has ever been: inside the human brain”.
After these statements, Pixar representatives revealed images from “Brave”, the first fairy tale produced by the company. Also, this is the first Pixar movie in which the main character is female – a Scottish princess.
Pixar, which had success with its films, both with the public and critics, saw this year the production of “Cars 2” criticized by the media specialists and registered disappointing earnings – about 476 million dollars.
Pixar Animation Studios company was founded in 1979, named Graphics Group, and was a part of the Computer Division, belonging to the production company Lucasfilm. In 1986, Graphics Group was acquired by Apple cofounder Steve Jobs, for five million dollars and renamed Pixar. In 2006, Walt Disney bought Pixar Company for $ 7.4 billion in transaction that made Jobs the largest shareholder of Disney.
