Pixar’s Pete Docter Says Studio Has No Plans For Live-Action Remakes: “I Like Making Movies That Are Original & Unique To Themselves”


Pete Docter, Chief Creative Officer at Pixar Animation Studios, is shooting down the idea of remaking classics into live-action features.

Docter said that making a live-action film about a rat “would be tough” and added, “So much of what we create only works because of the rules of the [animated] world.” “But if you have a cartoon guy and he stands there in the house, you go, ‘Okay, I’ll buy it.’ The worlds that we’ve built just don’t translate very easily.” The animated sequel features a voice cast that includes Amy Poehler, Phyllis Smith, Lewis Black, Diane Lane, and Kyle MacLachlan.
