Just got back. It was a good show - thanks to the people from Disney and the SF SIG chapter for putting it on. Oh, and thanks for the pen that lights up in many colors.

I got back a while ago. It was really good. I'm really looking foward to Chicken Little and American Dog, even though they only showed some story boards for it. I think Disney Feature Animation has some really great shows up their sleeve. If Chicken Little turns out as good as those clips, i'm sure the public will be really impressed. Might change a few ignorant Disney bashers' minds.

Oh and the way they sculpted that gatorade, err.. sports beverage, looked VERY tedious

Very interesting demonstration!

I'm really looking forward to seeing how the features currently in production develop. Beautiful stuff.

Thanks Disney! (and the pen is really cool too)

Rapunzel was incredibly cool!

Well, the look the were trying to do for Rapunzel was cool; not really enough information for me on other points of it to make a judgement. American Dog looked (to me) to be the best of what's coming (could be because that that had the most info shared on the concept and story, of course :^).

They probably showed some small stuff from all their features: Chicken Little, Wilbur Robinson, American Dog, and Rapunzel.

At least that's what's on the plate for now (besides Toy 3).
