Yes, I love them for Toy Story, Ratatouille, Monsters Inc, Finding Nemo, and all the rest, but this is the next level. Jon Favreau's upcoming and sure to be awesome film about the Magic Kingdom has been taking a while. Have you noticed? Plot twist. He's getting help from Pixar and there's more details. Here are some quotes from Favreau at Comic Con.
"Magic Kingdom is a big film. It's a very special piece of intellectual property with all the characters from the park and the legacy of Walt Disney."
“What we’ve been doing is writing a script, going up to Pixar, meeting with the brain trust, coming back down, bringing on artists, story editors and putting it together as though it were an animated film so that by the time we actually film it, we’ll have a rock solid story. I don’t want to rush anything. I want this thing to be perfect. I want it to be one shot one kill, like a sniper. I want to make sure this movie’s right in the crosshairs that we can really knock it out of the park so to speak.”
“Fortunately there’s no rush on it. I’ve been working on it as a writer now and we’re looking forward to beginning that long lead prep as you would on an animated film. Then you work your way to where you know what the whole movie is going to be before you ever roll camera. You actually watch it as the Pixar people do and actually watch it on a screen and evaluate it before you ever roll camera.”
Thank god there's news about it. I was ready to go insane. So looking forward to it! Beyond excited!
Very cool! Positive news, for sure!
