I watched Ratatouille on DVD a couple nights ago, such a great movie. Before the movie started, there was a teaser for a new Pixar movie, Wall-E. The visuals in the very few rendered scenes shown looked amazing. The character design was also spot-on, as usual. I was reminded about Wall-E a few minutes ago, as I read Cabel’s Blog, where he recounts seeing a test screening of the film.
… as it was largely unfinished, we only later realized that we were fully engrossed and laughing out loud at what amounted to a series of still napkin sketches for at least half the film — that, my friends, is the power of the Pixar story.
I’m really looking forward to Wall-E, and continually amazed at Pixar’s ability to ferociously push all of the envelopes of visual presentation, technical accomplishment, and story telling, without ever letting one element overshadow the others.
