Disney's Next Four Films Showcased at SIGGRAPH 2005 Convention

Siggraph is the big convention for 3-D animation. Disney is using the convention to score points with prospective animators and to show some bargaining strength in its negotiations with Pixar. The article linked below from jimhillmedia.com includes notes on what Disney is showing on its next 4 animated films. Presumably, this is after Valiant (the pigeon movie) and Chicken Little (the other bird flick, you know the one they can't seem to finish). Based on what I read in the Jim Hill article, here are m predictions:

American Dog - Hit

A Day With Wilbur Robinson - Major Flop

Rapunzel Unbraided - a minor flop if it is ever actually released

Toy Story 3 - a bargaining chip that will not (hopefully) be released in this form. Toy Story was an all-time classic. Toy Story 2 was very good, but too much the same. Toy Story 3 looks to be pure profit-driven dreck.
