>only Pixar movie supervised by Katzenberg>arguably their best movie to this day
Katzenberg in a Bee Movie interview
>48 Hrs.>The Defiant OnesGood suggestions
Why do you just endlessly talk to no one sharkfag?
>You couldn't handle Buzz cuttin' in on your playtime, could ya, Woody? Didn't want to face the fact that Buzz just might be Andy's new favorite toy. So you got rid of him. Well, what if Andy starts playin' with me more, Woody, huh? You gonna knock me outta the window too?>I don't think we should give him the chance
>>153448060>americans try to not worship celebrities challenge: FAIL!
>>153448318What I like to do in these threads sometimes is ignore him and talk shit about Katzenberg instead. BTW, did you know he's the reason he raped The Black Cauldron? Fuck him for neutering what would've been Disney's most daring film.
>>153448508>he's the reason he raped The Black Cauldron?*he's the reason The Black Cauldron got raped in the final cut.Poor initial wording, but you get the idea.
>>153448140>invented qubiFUCKING LMAO
>>153448508>Katzenberg arrived at Disney on october 1984>Black Cauldron premiered on july 1985, being in production since 1981It was already doomed. Those writing problems were there long before Katz arrived
>>153448533And? Bakshi's LoTR and Wizards were fresh in people's minds. There's no reason Disney couldn't have capitalized on that trend, especially when Bluth would later bite Disney in the ass by also making animated films with darker stories.
>>153448006Toy Story is highly satanic since it has demon possessed toys
>>153448576No fucking shit, Woody spins his head excorcist-style.
Way to ignore Pocahontas. He supervised it too and it was also a hit
>>153448710Pocahontas was not a hit at all, it cost more than Lion King and made a fraction at the box office.
>>153448733It still surpassed Hunchback and Hercules domestically by 40 million
>I would never, ever give up on 2D. NeverThat all changed when Sinbad grossed 26 million domestically
>Browngardt 1>Katzenberg 0
They were really going for Disney's jugular with The Prince of Egypt
They were juggling my balls.
>>153448006>When the trades indicated production on Antz, Lasseter, feeling betrayed, called Katzenberg and asked him if it was true, who in turn asked him where he had heard the rumor. Lasseter asked again, and Katzenberg admitted it was true. Lasseter raised his voice and would not believe Katzenberg's story that a development director had pitched him the idea long ago. Katzenberg claimed Antz came from a 1991 story pitch by Tim Johnson that was related to Katzenberg in October 1994.[24] Another source gives Nina Jacobson, one of Katzenberg's executives, as the person responsible for the Antz pitch.[22] Lasseter, who normally did not use profane language, cursed at Katzenberg and hung up the phone.[26] Lasseter recalled that Katzenberg began explaining that Disney was "out to get him" and Lasseter felt that he was cannon fodder in Katzenberg's fight with Disney.[24][22] For his part, Katzenberg believed he was the victim of a conspiracy: Eisner had decided not to pay him his contract-required bonus, convincing Disney's board not to give him anything.[22] Katzenberg was further angered by the fact that Eisner scheduled Bugs to open the same week as The Prince of Egypt, which was then intended to be DreamWorks' first animated release.[22][26] Lasseter relayed the news to Pixar employees but kept morale high. Privately, Lasseter told other Pixar executives that he and Stanton felt let down by Katzenberg.[22]Imagine getting told to fuck off by a person who was notoriously friendly
>>153449241>Lasseter>KatzenbergI'd take anything they with a grain of salt, those two people should never be in the same sentence.
>True Story: Early in Jeffrey K’s tenure at Disney, he wanted to make a Winnie the Pooh feature where all the characters were left in the back of Christopher Robin’s Mom’s station wagon. It got stolen, and Pooh and company ended up in an inner city ghetto, where they befriended two black kids named- -wait for it–”Flip” and “Rinky-Dink”. When the sheer awfulness of this idea was pointed out by one brave animator during a meeting, JK looked at him like he had lobsters crawling out of his ears. Fortunately, for us (and for you) this nightmare scenario never materialized.
Antz is awesome, even if it was rushed towards the end
>Treasure Planet (late november 2002) grossed 38 million domestically>Finding Nemo (late may 2003) grossed 339 million domestically, thus surpassing The Lion King as the highest grossing animation movie ever domestically >Sinbad (early july 2003) grossed 26 million domesticallyPeople love to blame 2001's Shrek for killing 2D animation, but I think the real killing blow didn't happen until those 3 movies
