Here’s a first look at the next Disney Animated film, The Wild. It opens in theaters nationwide on April 14th.
Trailer 1 – QT 300 – 1500 / Real SM LRG / Ipod
Total cost for the film is estimated to be around $80 million. Some of the team of animators who worked on The Wild worked on Disney’s first digitally animated film Dinosaur. No word what’s happening with this division after the purchase of Pixar.

According to the IMDb, this is not a “Walt Disney movie” per say, as it was animated by a company called “C.O.R.E.” – http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0405469/companycredits
Walt Disney is just distributing it, just as they did for last year’s “Valiant” (and all of pixar’s movies of course)
Walt Disney’s next animated film will be “Meet the Robinsons”: http://search.yahoo.com/search?fr=ytff1-&p=meet%20the%20robinsons&ei=UTF-8
As I understand it this is not like Valiant, which was a film by a separate studio which Disney helped a little and then distributed, but rather this is a ‘work-for-hire’ where Disney had a concept and a group of animators (friom The Secret Lab and Dinosaur) who were working on ‘The Wild’. They outsourced most of the production to this CORE studio, but it’s still largely a Disney film.
