# Even the lamp was eventually affected by the merger :(

# I saw the other day that the cars spinoff movie Planes
is not actually being made by Pixar, but released as just Disney.
Nice that Pixar are maintaining their level of quality/no direct to DVD standpoint.

# A tragedy indeed
Walt himself would also be ashamed at "Mickey Mouse's Clubhouse". What useles nonsense and cheap 3D crap. All about the money now. :(

# tragedy?
am I not typing what I think I'm saying again
Pixar are maintaining their level of quality/no direct to DVD standpoint.
What could have been a Pixar easy buck (Planes www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKRznx2b0Zg looks great!) they've decided to pass to one of the many Disney cg teams so they can stay focused on stuff that's all about the story.

I've no problem with Disney making cheaper stuff for minor tv cable channels, especially when the viewers are generally not aware of what it takes to make the programs, just as long as the serious stuff stays on track.

# i actually think that 'planes'
looks great - much better than cars. Dont know why they didnt fuck cars 2 off to straight to video (like most disney sequels) and save planes for a cinema release

# maybe the story of Cars 2 is good
and Planes isn't so?

# I read
The reason they gave Cars 2 the go ahead was cos it makes so much money from merchandising.
And little kids love it, even if grown ups don't.

Nicely done but very true.

# *please not a TV programme, please not a TV programme, please not a TV programme*
It's going to be made into a TV programme isn't it :(

# Yes... with the bloody awful title "The Bleak Old Shop of Stuff"
"There should be a one-hour special this Christmas and then three half-hours in the New Year, all on BBC2."

BUT!

"Rumours abound of a fifth radio series in the Spring... Keep your ears peeled!"

*GLEE!*

Edit: However, I'm perfectly willing to give the TV show a fair crack of the whip, considering it was originally supposed to be a TV show.

# Ah yes, the Johann Hari School of Journalism:
From The Grauniad:

"In the radio version Richard Johnson plays Philip "Pip" Bin, inventor of the bin, and his two sisters, Poppy and Pippa, whose idyllic life is disrupted by the death of their father and the madness of their mother."

From Wikipedia:

"The plot of the first series revolves around Philip "Pip" Bin, inventor of the Bin, and his two sisters, Poppy and Pippa, whose seemingly ideal life is disrupted by the death of their father and the madness of their mother."

# Me! Me! Me!
I hope it's a new radio series.

I went to see the pilot being recorded. It was one of the funniest things I've ever seen - even funnier than hearing the series on radio.
