Talk:List of Pixar films

Concerning Immblueversion's recent box edits

Your enthusiasm is appreciated, but please do not mix-n-match timelines of theatrical feature releases with theatrical shorts with DVD-only productions as we do not necessarily know that (a) followed (b) followed (c) in the production process. If you feel the need to recreate those edits, try to keep them in the same family (DVD-only vs Feature vs Shorts). Thx. SpikeJones (talk) 02:40, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

WALL-E's current worldwide gross

Where is the worldwide gross for WALL-E obtained from? It's not from boxofficemojo as that's well out of date with the international totals and this total differs considerably.--Gaunt (talk) 18:48, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

Cars Toons and other television shorts

I understand that the first of the Pixar created shorts for Disney Channel has recently aired. Now I've not seen them since i'm in the UK and I don't think there is a air date over here, therefore can't add much detail other than info from the reports. Just wondering how we should add these - usually everyone is so fast at updating the Pixar pages! Should the new "Cars Toons" series starring Mater be added to the short films list, or shall we start another table for the television shorts since there is no 'theatrical' or 'home release' premieres? A page does exist for the series ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cars_Toons ), so there is somewhere to link the new entries to until they have their own entries.

this page is for films, not TV productions. For example, the Buzz Lightyear TV series is not included on this page. SpikeJones (talk) 01:46, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

That is a very good point. I understand that, and it's a good reason. Are you suggesting a seperate page for tv projects? I think it needs to be discussed where all productions belong in the larger scheme of things - here might be as good a place as any for the time being. Do all of the 'short films' on this page at present qualify as a film? What is the difference of three minutes of original animation that debuts on a DVD (such as Jack-Jack Attack) and three minutes of original animation that debuts on the television? Also if these three shorts were to be released theatrically or on a DVD at some point (as I have seen suggested in interviews), would they then qualify for this list?

Also even if TV was included I don't think the Buzz Lightyear tv series counts, as animation wasn't done by them - correct?

BTW. I'm just speculating here! Its good to be informed! SWatsi (talk) 14:43, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

Agreed that the DVD-specific shorts should be pulled from this listing, but that is not a battle I will take on. Take a look at whether the various Disney animation-related articles dealt with this issue already (or looney tunes, or any other film AND TV production house, did). If you can find an existing standard that other areas are already using, then that would be a good place to start. How is it represented in the main Pixar article? Where are other Pixar-created TV productions (listerine, opening credits for some TV show whose name I've forgotten, life savers, etc) listed? What would be ramifications of including/not including TV work on *this* page down the road if the product turns into a series or if there is a "Sulley's Silly Tales" set of TV shorts? Look at the big picture, then come back with your thoughts. SpikeJones (talk) 15:30, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

this article's opening

I still don't understand why Leftorium made [this edit] to the page, duplicating content from Pixar to here. As this is a "list of Pixar films" rather than an explanation of Pixar film-creation/history, it seems out of place here. When I go to a "list" page, I expect a list of some sort, not paragraphs of reading material. I had reverted this edit once, but Leftorium put it back - so instead of continuing to revert, thought I'd bring the discussion here first. Comments/thoughts? SpikeJones (talk) 12:54, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

I'm working on getting this article to Featured list status. Read this for more information. —TheLeftorium 14:32, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

Agreed, and I will update the page to have an engaging lead section that introduces the subject, and defines the scope and inclusion criteria of the list, similar to the Featured List used as an example on the page you pointed to. SpikeJones (talk) 14:51, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

To Theleftorium: Please explain how your copying of info from the Pixar page addresses the guidelines on WP:List#Lead sections in stand-alone lists and WP:Lists (stand-alone lists)#Lead and selection criteria. Thx. SpikeJones (talk) 15:19, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

It is an "engaging lead section that introduces the subject". Anyway, forget what I said about bringing this to FL status, because I wont be making any more edits to the article. —TheLeftorium 15:22, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

All that is asked is an explanation to support your edits, of which I don't see any; the link you provided says, in full, "[a list] has an engaging lead section that introduces the subject, and defines the scope and inclusion criteria of the list.". The interpretation is that a list page can't just be a list, but needs to have some explanation of what the list is and what qualifies to be on the list. The page as is currently, does that. Your edit was merely a rehash of Pixar without even stating what the list qualifications were. The example given on this page of List of compositions by Johann Sebastian Bach is equally brief to the current edit here, without a need to include JSB's bio. The 2nd link that I pointed to states "Lists should begin with a lead section that presents unambiguous statements of membership criteria", of which the current version is. Please explain how your desired edits meet either of these two guidelines for list opening paragraphs? SpikeJones (talk) 15:29, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

Fat

I really don't like the table here, it's too fat. Can we seperate the table somewhat, so one section we have all the films, with directors writers and all that punk. And then a seperate section for box office and other reception stuff?IAmTheCoinMan (talk) 23:12, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

1904?

I've heard rumors of a future Pixar film called "1904". Does anyone have any more information? 74.33.174.133 (talk) 21:04, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

It's tentatively called 1906 and is a movie by The Incredibles' Brad Bird about the great San Francisco earthquake. That film, along with Pixar's "John Carter of Mars" trilogy, are supposed to be live-action. I understand 1906 not being listed on this Pixar article if Bird is doing it on his own but from what I have heard, "John Carter of Mars" is supposed to be a Pixar film. It should be listed in upcoming films (tentatively scheduled for 2011). Kwyjibear (talk) 22:24, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

Monsters Inc. 2

According to this IMDB page a sequel to Monsters Inc is in production and scheduled for a 2012 release. Does anyone know anything else about this? --98.21.177.45 (talk) 17:20, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

There has been no announcement of any kind from Disney or Pete regarding the existence of Monsters 2. That is why there is no inclusion of this information in WP. Only after there is valid, citable evidence, can WP reflect that info. SpikeJones (talk) 17:31, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

As far as I know, it's just a rumor. 74.33.174.133 (talk) 13:26, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
