Every Pixar film is an event, just for being Pixar.
At the Visual Effects Society Awards, Pixar Studios president Ed Catmull was honored with the George Melies Award注1. He previewed Pixar’s upcoming sequels Toy Story 3 and Cars 2.
Toy Story 3 comes 11 years after Toy Story 2. “It’s one of those things where it’s good that we waited,” Catmull said. “We’ve in fact got all the same voices back, including Andy. It all fits together very nicely. It’s a really good film.”
At the end of Toy Story 2, Buzz Lightyear and Sheriff Woody decided to live out the rest of
Andy’s childhood as his toys, even though he would eventually outgrow[年久丧失(某种兴趣等)] them. Now the time has come. The filmmakers were inspired by taking their own children to college and experiencing that milestone.
“If you look at the three films, they really represent something that comes out of the filmmakers,” Catmull continued. “You’ve got Andrew Stanton, Lee Unkrich, John Lasseter and [the late] Joe Ranft注2, and a whole variety of artists and storytellers. They’re putting a lot of their personal experiences into it. That’s what makes the film good. They’re personal. They’re funny. They’re emotional.”
The classic toy doll Barbie entered the Toy Story world in the first sequel. Now they’ve added her spouse[配偶] Ken. You’d think toy companies are lining up to get their toys in these movies. “Not so much,” said Catmull. “The story process leads everything, so if they think of omething, they’ll go to somebody, but for the most part, it’s driven by what we want. If people ask to put them in, we don’t do that.”
Cars was not Pixar’s most successful film, but it will be the second Pixar film to become a franchise注3. “Our belief is if the director’s got an idea, that’s what drives it,” Catmull said. “It has nothing to do with whether it’s original or a sequel. It’s if they have an idea they fall in love with. If they do it, then we’ll make it.”
Just like Toy Story, car manufacturers[厂商] must want their vehicles featured in Pixar’s film. They have the same philosophy with that series. “Yeah, it’s just driven by the story. Everything is driven by what they need.”
Toy Story 3 opens this June. Cars 2 is coming in 2011.
每一部皮克斯电影都是一件大事,就因为它出自皮克斯。在视觉效果协会颁奖礼上,皮克斯动画工作室主席艾德·卡姆尔被授予
乔治·梅里耶奖。他透露了皮克斯即将上映的续集电影——《玩具总动员3》和《赛车总动员2》的一些情况。
《玩具总动员3》距离《玩具总动员2》有11年之久。“它属于那些值得我们一直等待的事物,”卡姆尔说。“事实上,我们让原来的配音员悉数回归,包括安迪(的配音员)。他们在一起配合得很好。它确实是一部好
电影。”
在《玩具总动员2》的结尾,巴斯光年和胡迪警长决定在安迪的童年一直做他的玩具,尽管安迪终有一天不再需要它们。现在那个时候终于到来了。电影制作人送自己的孩子上大学,经历了里程碑式的一刻,从而受到启发。
“如果你仔细看这三部电影,它们其实代表了电影制作人的一些亲身经历,”卡姆尔
接着说。“你可以看到安德鲁·斯坦顿、
李·昂克里奇、约翰·拉塞特以及(已故的)乔·兰福特,还有一大群动画师和作家。他们将很多自己的经历投射到里面。正是这点造就了一部好电影。这是自身的体验,有趣,饱含感情。”
经典玩具芭比娃娃在第二集中加入了《玩具总动员》的世界。现在,他们让她的情人肯也加入进来。你一定在想玩具公司正排着队为他们的玩具在电影中争一席之地吧。“这种情况并不多,”卡姆尔说。“故事的发展主导一切,所以如果他们(主创人员)想到一些东西,他们会去找联系人。但在大多数情况下,我们想要的元素起决定性作用。如果有人想把自己的产品强加进去,我们不会照做。”
《赛车总动员》不是皮克斯最成功的电影,但它将成为皮克斯的第二套系列电影。“我们的信念是如果导演想到了一个主意,就可以成为动力,”卡姆尔说。“这跟它是原创还是续集无关,关键是他们是否想到一个自己喜爱的主意。如果他们想到了,我们就会把它制作出来。”
和《玩具总动员》一样,汽车制造商一定很希望自己的汽车可以出现在皮克斯的电影中。工作室对此持相同态度。“是的,故事主导一切。所有事情都由他们的需要决定。”
《玩具总动员3》将于今年6月上映。《赛车总动员2》则在2011年上映。
注1:乔治·梅里耶奖以20世纪初的法国特效先驱命名。
注2:他们都是皮克斯的主创人员。安德鲁·斯坦顿是《海底总动员》和《机器人总动员》的导演;李·昂克里奇是《玩具总动员3》的导演,曾参与执导《怪物公司》等电影;约翰·拉塞特是迪士尼动画长片部门、皮克斯的首席创意官;乔·兰福特(1960-2005)于1980年间作为故事写手加入了迪士尼片场,后来加入皮克斯。
注3:这里的“franchise”指系列电影,但系列中的各部电影不是由同一位导演执导,如《哈利·波特》和《暮光之城》系列。
