Disney/pixar’s animation release timeline (after WALL-E) is:
Bolt (2008): A German Shepard version of Buzz Lightyear in that he’s spent his whole life on the set of a tv show in the style of Thunderbolt (the dog-hero show that the 101 Damations puppies watch, which makes me wonder if the name Bolt is an homage/tip off for nerds like me to notice).
His isolated life makes him think his tv powers are real and probably has some self realization story arc similar to Buzz’s after he meets a cat named Mittens and a hamster that never leaves its ball.
The Princess and the Frog (2009): Disney’s first black princess. first return to traditional 2D animation since Emperors new Groove.
Rapunzel (2010): Originally, the film’s plot revolved around two ‘romantically challenged’, real-world teenagers who are transformed into Rapunzel and her Prince by a disgruntled witch who can no longer stand happy fairy-tale endings. However, since production was halted in 2004 for major retooling, Glen Keane has “promised” that the film will revert back to the fairy tale’s “literary origins” and be less of a steaming pile of shit than what was just described.
King of the Elves (2012): Based on Science Fiction writer Phillip K. Dick’s 1953 short story fantasy about a band of elves living in the modern-day Mississippi Delta who name a local guy working at a gas station their king after he helps save them from an evil troll.
Cars 2 (2012): Lightning McQueen and his pal Mater travel the globe in a series of excuses to make more inside references and jokes about or otherwise concerning non-american made automobiles. joy.
