Sorry, I thought you was in da UK. Why do you always euphemistically say "your country" though? We know you don't really live on Jakku...

Pixar's work on The Rescuers Down Under was the creation of their CAPS system to paint the characters in the computer that put the traditional ink and paint department out of business. The Little Mermaid was the last film where paint was applied to celluloid. Also three years after The Rescuers Downunder Pixar worked on and credited for The Nightmare Before Christmas where they did puppet rig removal.

Ed Hansen (and Ron Miller) fired Lasseter after they viewed a pitch for The Brave Little Toaster. John left in early 1984. When Katzenberg came to the studio when Miller was forced out, Katzenberg did indeed say there was no future for CG animated features. The studio was gun-shy of getting into CG animation after the perceived failure of Tron and Universal's The Last Starfighter.

Boy we really need a trailer to get the focus back on talking about Star Wars in this thread again.

I could give a toss who the CEO's of Disney are.

Steve Evans Hasbro`s design director talks about the toys that were released on Force Friday:

"While dozens of new action figures were shown off those were carefully selected to be only from the first third of the film so as not to give anything away that has not already been seen in trailers."

Oops, sorry I forgot it says Jakku there now. It was Kuala Lumpur, MY before I changed.

Damn, was just gonna remark that this thread has been pretty nice without the daily barrage of fluff news.

Define nice:

Nice as in Updating with actual news related to the film.

Nice as in Talking about stuff that has no relation to said film.

The reason I ask is so I know what not to post so I don't offend those that have dedicated their lives owning this here thread.

[Thomas Guycott]

Nice as in "a thread not flooded with tenuously-related puff 'news' pieces posted by someone attempting to circumvent a suspension."

Why is posting this stuff, not just in this thread but on the forum in general, so damn important to you anyway?

so which is it puff or fluff, i'm sure you have mistaken for someone else, but more importantly isn't getting personal info considered stalking?? cause I hope that's not what goes on in here.

[Ernest Rister]

79 days to go.

[Geoff D]

Man, that adds up to a lot of tangential shite that's gonna be posted between now and then...which will only start again on all the threads for the other new SW movies. What I want to know is, if Zarkon isn't Terminated, does that mean there's two of them?

No stalking; just coincidence that your join date is the exact same day Terminated was suspended, and happened to notice your posting the exact same material in the exact same manner...

But aren't you only adding to the amount of "tangential shite" in this thread by posting to complain about it?

Let me end right now, I don't know what your beef is with terminated take that up with that person, and don't even think for one second I wont report any an all harassing comments the minute i see them i am a new member here and this is how you treat people.

I will post whatever news I FIND relevant to the movie thread in question that i am posting. There is no crime being committed here the only crime will be your harassing comments which i will not stand for.

Until a mod comes to me with a message telling me that No you have no right to post news articles so that we can discuss them then i will continue.

For a new member, you talk pretty high and mighty. I do agree however that if you find SW VII news, go ahead and post it here.

I didn't say you couldn't do it. But I find it to be extremely annoying, not least because I thought we were free from the hotlink menace for a while. C'est la vie.

Ain't that always the way?

[Zarkon]

You're right though it does get annoying ,but all I would like to do is post stuff that I think you guys would find interesting. I don't want to anger anyone or offend anyone by posting endlessly, and I know I am a new member here i got a little to post happy when I joined.

I don't want enemies here that's not why I joined, I will dial down my posting I'm sorry if I have offended.

Always two there are, no more, no less. A master and an apprentice.

[Geoff D]

But which one was suspended? The master...or the apprentice?

[Megalith]

How do the toys manage to turn out to be so damn ugly after what seems to be a comprehensive, diligent design process? There is no reason why all toys aren't Hot Toys level quality now.
