All pretty cool! None as cool as wall-e though – cannot wait. Though knowing me, waiting is exactly what I shall do! (though having eros on this coast will probably light my fire for more movies)
Out of all of these, I’m only excited for Wall-E and the Toy Story flicks. The rest sound like snoozeville. I didn’t care for Cars, and didn’t love Ratatouille. Hopefully Toy Story 4 will come out in 2013, so I can care about Pixar again.
