So, this is not a Pixar film, even though there are many Pixar folks attached. It's still a Disney production with Andrew Stanton making his first live-action film. You know him as the director of the brilliant "WALL-E." We'll know if Stanton is good with live-action as much as he's great with animation when "John Carter" opens March 9th of 2012. Oh yeah, Disney dropped the "of Mars" from the title too!

Here's more info on "John Carter"

In a world on the brink of collapse, Carter rediscovers his humanity when he realizes that the survival of Barsoom and its people rests in his hands.
