Pixar spends years developing its two-thumbs-up-quality animated feature films, so it surprised many movie insiders when the studio announced the cancellation of Newt, a flick already two years into development. The story of Earth's last two blue-footed newts was announced in 2008 with an expected release date of 2012, but Pixar has cancelled the film without much explanation. Rather than brush the entire project under the rug, the studio has posted artwork from the axed film on its Facebook page.

That is no fun, at least it is honest about it. Pixar has always produced great movies, I guess Disney is coming down on Pixar. All Disney wants is profits and make movies every six months. I'm sure those crazy artless executes at Disney shoveled it to Pixar, Poor Pixar...!

Malnad: When Disney and Pixar merged and Steve Jobs became the largest Disney stock holder, Pixar's people took over Disney Animation. To say that Disney executives are murdering Pixar's creativity is not based on the facts at all. Instead, my guess is that the movie wasn't living up to Pixar's standards and rather than continue forward with something that wasn't good enough, they shelved it. That's DEFINITELY something the old Disney Animation folks would never have done. Kudos to Pixar for putting quality over quantity.

Oh drat! I thought this was a comic film about Newt Gingrich and was eagerly anticipating the release.
