Fantastic segment about the WDCC and the "Nightmare" Sally & Tree piece.
ReplyDeleteReally cool addition to the collection and great to see Disney 23 recognizing this line!
I found this really interesting...more so the Classics part. I was trying to peek around the "Work Room" to see if there were any unreleased pieces there. I did see the recent releases on the shelves and what looked to be the legs of peter pan. Checking your site though, it seemed to be a piece where he is bending his knees and there has not been a piece portraying that pose. I may be totally off but if you just look closely it just might be :)
ReplyDeleteAs Matthew said, it is great to see D23 recognizing
ReplyDeletethe WDCC line! The segment with Dave Pacheco explaining the start to finish process of making a sculpt was great!
I believe people forget what a tedious process it is to get these pieces to final product. It always makes me appreciate the line even more.
Here's my guesses on the "teasers" shown during the clip with Dave. I believe that one of the pieces is Louis from Princess & The Frog, which is going to be a GREAT piece if that is the case. Over Dave's shoulders you could see what appears to be Russell and Carl from Up! This is going to be a GREAT sculpt. I loved that movie, so I am very excited to see this piece! I also believe I saw something that resembled Lotso!
I'm not sure if I'm correct with my choices, but any and all of them would be great. Again, it is great to see the Classics get some well deserved recognition. Let's keep this going........
Wow! Great eyes Dopey926! I didn't even see those but now I am very excited :) It would be nice to get these kinds of teasers every now and then to help fuel anticipation for upcoming releases.
ReplyDeleteI think of all the sneek peek pieces (if they were intended to be ) an UP piece was the most identifiable (at least by me). Guess time will tell.
ReplyDeleteI would love for us to have a Louis piece from the PatF. Fingers crossed.
What a great segment on WDCC! It was cool to see the WDCC "WAR ROOM" I think thats what Dave called it.
ReplyDeleteJust think of all the brainstorming that goes on in that room.
Would like to be a fly on the wall in there when discussions are going on.....LOL.
I really, really hope that is Louis from PATF, fingers crossed.
Thanks WDCC and Jeffery for keeping the WDCC juices flowing......
Definitely the Carl & Russell sculpt could be seen from UP. And yup, looks to be a new Peter Pan & Wendy too. I think the one that is Louis from PatF could also maybe be a Brer Bear from SotS...that one is hard to tell cause it looks like it might be a whiteware. And it did seem like a whiteware Lotso was on the top right shelf. So glad to see some Pixar pieces back in the line!!
ReplyDeleteLike that they had the new Robin Pieces and their whiteware shadows behind them also in the shot too. Very cute fun clip!
Justin - I believe that is a upcoming Peter Pan & Wendy sculpture as Peter's legs are bent in a different direction that the Window Scene version of him and Wendy's posture is different than previous release versions. Being a big fan of that film, very curious in what this sculpture could be.
ReplyDeleteToni - My heart skipped a beat when Dave's head moved and I caught glimpse of Carl's face! I was unable to see Russell, need to go back and rewatch the video (not that I haven't watched so many times already .. LOL!) I've SO wanted to see WDCC do something from Up, so couldn't be any more happier!
Was fun chatting with you last night watching the clip. Was unable to see Lotso and what could possibly be Louis until you pointed out where you saw them. Unsure if the one partial view is either Lotso or Brer Bear.
Greg & Bob - Like you, would love to see Louis done! ::fingers crossed::
Michelle - Need to watch again to catch Russell. I also like seeing the whiteware shadows with the Robin Hood pieces and the whiteware Tinker Bell. There looks to be something behind those as well.
To D23 - Thanks for such an AWESOME episode and giving the WDCC such awesome exposure! As others have said, loved the teaser segment of upcoming releases and look forward to more of these type of episodes in the future!
I did watch the beginning of Peter Pan. It seems like the piece could be when Wendy tries to give Peter a kiss (and Tink gets jealous).
ReplyDeleteThanks Justin!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if the sculpture will not only be Peter and Wendy but include Tink as well?
