Comic Con 2009 Disney Animation Panel pt.1 - Toy Story

So my sister & I went to Comic Con 2009 & got to go to the Disney Animation Panel. They had a lot of cool stuff and interviews with people who are working on upcoming Disney/Pixar films. So heres the first part of the panel, hosted by John Lasseter. Lee Unkrich shows up later to talk about Toy Story 3.

Sorry, but I didnt get any video of the new footage that Disney/Pixar presented to us during this panel. Why? Glad you asked:

1) They asked us not to tape during the special footage they brought, and I respected their request.
2) Most of the clips were in 3D and wouldnt have come out looking that great on my video recorder.
3) They had a lot of people patrolling the room when the footage was shown. If you were caught with your camera on, you got in trouble, maybe even taken out of the room. I waited nearly 2 hours to get in, I wasnt risking it.
4) Even if I had wanted to take my chances and tape during the special footage, it wouldve been stupid for me to have done so cause I was sitting on the side aisle next to a group of security people. If I had taped, they wouldve seen me for sure. Thats why I put my camera down a few times during this video, cause they were walking past me and I didnt want to take the chance that they would see me taping even during the interviews.

I will let you know this: The clip they showed of Michael Keaton doing the voice of Ken was great and very funny. Expect his debut in Toy Story 3 to be spectacular.

I was there for that event! It was awesome to see John Lasseter himself in person!

[Charisma82Commentary]

It was geat. Waited in line forever too. How about you?

The line to the Disney panel in Hall H didn't take that long. I only waited about 10-15 minutes.

The worst wait time I faced in Comic Con was one hour and fourty minutes (and that was on the first day Con started due to "Twilight: New Moon").

[Charisma82Commentary]

Really? We waited almost 2 hours to get into the Disney Hall H. Did you have to sit in the back?

So what was the clip about? I'm dying to see this!!

[Charisma82Commentary]

The only clip they showed dealing with Toy Story 3 was an interview with the Ken doll on how he felt about stuff, like being less populare than Barbie. It was really funny. I think there was also a scene where he was sitting on a toy car with sunglasses on, and the sunglasses kept falling off, or something like that... Anyways, I thought it was hilarious and can't wait to see Ken in the next movie.

Are they CRAZY?!?! Toy Story is incredible because it tells the story of a CHILD'S beloved playthings!! They've already DONE an adult's favorite playthings from his childhood, if anyone else has seen The Brave Little Toaster.

@HardyRStudios they all are. :) they definitly all are :)

[HardyRStudios]

@TheProudAmerican777 Well of course, but that was just too obvious for me to say ( Mononoke, Kiki, Totoro, Spirited Away, Grave of the Fireflies, and my personal favorite and one of their most under rated ones.....PORCO ROSSO, etc are just masterpieces).

@HardyRStudios don't forget Studio Ghibli, the king of anime.

[HardyRStudios]

Disney= King of 2-D/ Traditional Feature Animation

Pixar= King of 3-D/ CGI Feature Animation

The two Kings of Feature Animation merging together= AWESOME and EPIC

Not all the way in the back. More like, the mid-section that's halfway toward the stage itself.

It's a shame about the Ken clip, but im sure Pixar will release more teasers or things of that nature soon enough for everyone to see
