Pixar's Up Inspired by Don Quixote?
Summary
Pixar has already spun animated gold out of everything from toys to cars, and with next year's WALL-E, the studio seems poised to do the same for lonely spacebound robots. For one of its next acts, could Pixar be preparing a retelling of Don Quixote? Back to Article

on Dec 26 2007 09:25 AM Does he attack any windmills? Also, isn't a Don Quixote production cursed or something? Just watch "Lost in La Mancha" to see evidence. (Reply to this) |
on Dec 26 2007 09:53 AM That's better than the retelling they did of "Doc Hollywood" with the movie "Cars". (Reply to this) |
on Dec 26 2007 12:09 PM 1. It's called Up. It's obviously going to be a remake of the Russ Meyer film of the same name. 2. After Tideland, I don't want Terry Gilliam to ever have anything to do with movies again. (Reply to this) |

on Dec 26 2007 12:40 PM I hope the old guy is/looks like the old man from the short that ran before A Bugs Life. (Reply to this) |
on Dec 26 2007 01:11 PM This is pretty much old news. This article has been up forever, why are they just writing about it? I'm scared for this movie. If they would just call this Incredibles 2: Superold Edition I might be at ease. (Reply to this) |
on Dec 26 2007 03:47 PM If they get Gilliam involved the studio will be hit by a meteor. (Reply to this) |

on Dec 26 2007 07:34 PM If it was a remake of the 1976 russ meyers film...i'd say pixar would be making a very bold choice based on their target audience... (Reply to this) |

on Dec 28 2007 03:11 AM As whacky as it sounds, i can say i can trust Pixar, as they only made 1 bad movie so far (cars). I'd say Incredibles 2, but i don't think that will be coming anytime soon. :( (Reply to this) |

on Jan 12 2008 09:03 PM I found a source with a lot of good background on Don Quixote - including, interestingly, a link to an article that suggests that Buzz & Woody are modeled after Don Quixote and Sancho Panza (as are Calvin & Hobbes and a slew of other dynamic duos). So if Up does follow the Don Quixote story line, it will be in good (Reply to this) |
