Disney/Pixar In General

Oh, so the Whedon brothers already run a show.

I meant more along the lines of an animated series. That's what they should try.

Disney should also try out Marty Isenberg and Aaron Ehasz.

No, not the Whedon Brothers, one Whedon brother plus his amazing wife (or she runs it and he helps out).

New details on the Monsters Inc. series coming to Disney+!

Takeaways:

• It's officially called Monsters at Work.
• Takes place 6 months after Monsters, Inc.
• Billy Crystal and John Goodman are returning as Mike and Sulley, but they won't be the focus on the show.
• The lead is Tylor Tuskmon ( Ben Feldman), "an eager and talented mechanic on the Monsters, Inc. Facilities Team who dreams of working on the Laugh Floor."
• Other familiars include John Ratzenberger (Yeti), Jennifer Tilly (Celia) and Bob Peterson (Roz).
• More newbies include Kelly Marie Tran as Tylor's best lady friend Val Little, Henry Winkler (Barry) as Tylor's boss, Lucas Neff as Duncan, Alanna Ubach (Coco) as Cutter, Stephen Stanton as Smitty and Needleman and Aisha Tyler (LANAAAAAA!) is Tylor's mom.

First I've heard of this. I guess that's neat.

When's Disney+ supposed to be out, again?

More info on Disney+ will get revealed at Disney's Investor Day on April 11th. Possibly a release date.

Later this year, I think?

Here's a link to Disney's Investor Day where more info on Disney+ will get revealed.

Launch day is November 12 and the price is $6.99 a month or $69.99 a year.

Also some other stuff. The presentation is like 5 hours long.

More takeaways:

• Disney+ will be coming to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. That last one's surprising in that the Switch doesn't even have Netflix (though it does have Hulu).
• Toy Story 4 will have a spin-off series of shorts featuring Forky asking the tough (and absurd) questions in life and another one with Bo Peep showing what happened to her between Toy Stories 2 and 4.

$6.99 a month or $69.99 a year? While Netflix costs $12.99 a month for 2 streams? Oh...wow.

Im sorry if I sound REALLY dumb but does this mean this is more or less expensive than Netflix?

Not surprised that it's coming to switch. Nintendo markets itself as a Family Console so it just kind of feels appropriate for them to be there.

That Simpsons moment was surreal to watch.

I remember that Netflix was on the Wii at least, so it being on the Switch is not much of a stretch.

Say what you will, but I laughed at just the plain absurdity of it all. In 48 seconds, we got:

• A banner reading "Welcome Synergy" while surrounded by balloons with the FOX logo crossed out of them.
• A portrait of Rupert Murdoch in the trash.
• Homer shamelessly saluting the new corporate overlords.
• The family putting on Mickey ears...and Marge's fly off causing Dumbo to fall on Homer.

I actually want to say it's one of the funniest Simpsons-related thing I've ever seen!

Wait, since The Simpsons is definitely going to be on Disney+, can we please get all 30+ some Seasons of the show? That'd be well worth $6.99 a month, in addition to the complete Disney Animated Canon.

We are. We are. We are getting ALL the seasons (minus "Stark Raving Dad").

I'm out of the loop on if its been done, but I'd be nice if they'll do a full series remaster of Simpsons before uploading to Disney+. Probably that would look like good faith to the long time fans of the series who are... not as optimistic about Disney now owning the series.

@Aegis P, It's about half the price of Netflix.

Apparently, the masters for the Simpsons episodes that were animated on film were lost in a flood some time ago. That's probably why we haven't seen even an HD remaster yet.

Ouch. Could they try and cobble together something using the copies we have now? I know its not a perfect solution but tech these days can be rather amazing. Also an opportunity to try and use new processes, right?

Just... don't go the way of the Buffy Remasters please.

So why is "Stark Raving Dad" not an option, exactly?

It involves someone thinking they're Michael Jackson,surprised it's not a similar thing with Bill Cosby

Because SRD actually has MJ as a guest voice (though he was billed as John Jay Smith). The Cosby jokes are done by an impersonator.
