Streisand to Make Appearence in Next Pixar Movie

Well....a recording of her at least.

In a breif article explaining just what Pixar's bizzare 2008 release "WALL E" is about, it seems that a little bit of musical history will show up in WALL E's life as well....

" Over the centuries, this WALL E has collected an amazing array of human artifacts. Things like a Rubik's Cube, a lightbulb, a Playmate portable ice chest. But this robot's proudest possession is an old VCR. On which he plays -- over and over again -- a VHS copy of "Hello, Dolly !"

Now let's pause here for a moment and just think about that. Everything that this robot knows (Or -- more importantly -- thinks he knows) about mankind, he's either learned from picking through garbage and/or by watching a 700-year-old Barbra Streisand film."

..........

"with the exception of the music & the dialogue that we hear coming from that VCR that plays "Hello, Dolly !" -- that's it. The rest of this section of Pixar's 2008 release is (in effect) a silent movie."


I for one...can't wait.


Here's a link to the teaser that plays before Rata---whatever. (Also a very fun movie)

Whoops! I just added in the link to the source page. I know, right?! I have a feeling that the entire theatre will be in tears by the end of this movie.....

This film sounds fantastic, and a tremendously bold choice, something Pixar really needs now. They seem to be falling on a formula like Disney did in the late 90s.

Sounds great... Stanton is the only one left at Pixar that doesn't try to make Disney movies in 3D...

Bug's Life, Monsters Inc, Nemo... all had great fun for kids but went beyond what you'd expect from anime to get into the real of real movies with underlying themes that go beyond "Be good" and "Love everyone"... Good to know he's at it again, I was bored to death by Pixar's last "efforts", The Incredibles, Cars and Ratatouille were so formulaic they gave me nausea!

I can't wait for that one
