This year has been a good year for a fan of animated movies. How to Train Your Dragon, which I haven't seen yet, and Toy Story 3, another feature that I'lm going to buy on the DVD as soon as I have money to spare. Finally, Tangled, the newest Disney movie. It's ANOTHER animation that's received fantastic reviews, and the tech demos are AWESOME. That hair... ALL that hair... All that long, long HAIR...

*drool* Those "failed" shots show a level of technology I thought impossible. Pixar's Incredibles, few years ago, had hair that looks like a wig made of rat tails compares to what they have there, and that was cutting edge what, six years ago?
So, what else is Disney up to, these days? Well, they're making Winnie the Pooh movie...
Okay, I might pass that. A movie about an old has-been video game character? Okay, that sounds more interesting. Oh, and here's something else, too - they're working on Terry Pratchett's Mort. What's that?
Terry Pratchett’s Mort To Become A Disney Animation?
Wait, WHAT, really?
Terry Pratchett’s Mort To Become A Disney Animation?
Blue Sky Disney blog, 4, tells us:
First off, patience should be expected as it's very early in development. They've just recently secured the rights to it so there hasn't been a lot done. These films take about three years to churn out so it'll be at least that long before you see it. That means 2013 at the earliest. And for my opinion, it won't be out then. More likely it'll be 2014.
But is it true, ask our reporters? Mr Blue Sky Disney, 4, continues:
Yes, kinda. I will say that the film does take place in the Discworld series which is where the Mort book (fourth in the line of books, btw) takes place, but remember that this is an adaptation that won't necessarily be literal (no film adaptation really is). I got confirmation from the Bothans of this. The hero of the book shows that this is an entirely different kind of story than Walt Disney Animation Studio has told before, but it does have a princess in it. Remember that this is early in the process and things can change.
...
So now you know what the next hand drawn is, but you still don't know how different it really is...
So... Any other people whose interest in Disney has increased recently? Also feel free to speak about other stuff, like Pixar's or Dreamwork's movies or anime or whatever. I'd appreciate it if you avoided spoilers, since I haven't seen even Up.
