Movies.ie will be bringing you more details on Lasseter’s conference over the weekend. Movies.ie had a 30 minute interview with the animation wizard after the conference to tie in with the release of ‘The Princess and The Frog’ in 2010. We couldn’t resist asking the man himself about the rumours of Pixar making Marvel’s ‘Ant-Man’ and sadly Lasseter revealed that there is no truth in the rumour, he hasn’t had any talks about any Marvel projects yet. Pixar’s next project is ‘Toy Story 3’, followed by ‘Cars 2’ then ‘The Bear and the bow’.
