Sounds amazing right? This concept with the story-telling ability of Pixar in charge, I think it would have been brilliant. The fact that we’ll never see this “potential” masterpiece is pretty frustrating, but I got over it. Until yesterday... when I went to see Rango and saw the trailer for Rio...
Are you kidding me? The similarities in the two stories are ridiculously close, in fact if you change the words “blue-footed newts” with “blue-feathered birds” in the premise detailed above you could easily be talking about Rio. So after a little research on the internet, it would appear that Newt was actually cancelled due to the similarities with Rio. Great.
I appreciate Pixar probably wanted to avoid a similar situation like when “A Bug’s Life” and “Antz” were released. But I would have much rather seen this story/concept bought to the big screen from the creators of “WALL-E” and “Up” rather than the creators of “Ice Age”.
