ROTTEN TOMATOES: Pixar's Up Inspired by Don Quixote? Comments

Pixar's Up Inspired by Don Quixote?

by Jeff Giles | December 26, 2007

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

Does he attack any windmills? Also, isn't a Don Quixote production cursed or something? Just watch "Lost in La Mancha" to see evidence.

That's better than the retelling they did of "Doc Hollywood" with the movie "Cars".

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.

I hope the old guy is/looks like the old man from the short that ran before A Bugs Life.

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.

If they get Gilliam involved the studio will be hit by a meteor.

It's Pixar. Pixar craps out gold, and its fart smells like roses.

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...

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. :(

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 company.
