Almost exactly one year after announcing that Disney Interactive Studios acquired his Junction Point Studios at last year's E3, Warren Spector – the famed game designer with his hands on everything from System Shock to Thief to Deus Ex – announced via his blog that his studio's first project will in fact be a "collaboration with folks from Disney Feature Animation and Pixar." He's not ready to say anymore (though he did say that he would "say nothing" just before telling us about the Disney / Pixar info) but we're holding out for some sort of announcement at E3 this week. Movie tie-in? New video game IP developed by Pixar and Disney? He's not telling!

As much as I hate all things Disney, this is mildly interesting.

I'm concerned about the new Pixar.Since they were bought by Disney, they're already going to release five new movies by 2012 including two sequels.
Sure, Ratatouille was outstanding and Wall-E is getting some excellent reviews but I'm not sure whether they will be able to keep up this quality if Disney keeps milking them like that.

Well, not only the former heads of Pixar still held high positions, but Disney should realize that their most acclaimed movies are directly from Pixar, so I really doubt they would try to milk them as much as Megaman...

Wall-E is being tipped for a Best Picture Oscar. I wouldn't really worry too much about the quality of Pixar movies right now...

Perhaps the Toy Story 3 tie-in? Although I've not heard of a studio actually devoting a 2-year development cycle to such a game.
