Disney/Pixar To Bring You Dr. Strange Flick?

Filed under: Film Flickers > Disney

It's about time people start talking about Disney's latest acquisition. What's the point of buying Marvel Comics if you aren't going to make any movies?!

Comic book artist Brendan McCarthy suggested in a recent interview that Disney's first Marvel flick out of the gate could be a CGI Doctor Strange movie in collaboration with Pixar. The artist explains his meeting with Disney execs to discuss the adaptation:

"I was over in Hollywood earlier this year mooching about, and I had a meeting at Disney and the conversation drifted around to Pixar animating a Doctor Strange movie… Now, wouldn't that be nice."

Sure, if the story is good. Plus, we have a hard time seeing the Pixar people getting into doing a strictly superhero movie. Ya know, they are more about the whole family-friendly angle and not everyone is going to love the tale of the unusual, super human magician. But we imagine Pixar is up to the technical challenges.

What do U think?

There so much CGI in comic book movies anyway, you might as well take this road and let Pixar's talented people take a swing at the genre. Since Pixar is very protective of their reputation for only putting out good films, they're bound to demand a good story line. I think this could good.
