Pixar Presents "TRAINS"

[Lord Atmo]

i can kinda see the plot.

a bunch of mindless UP AC4400CWS, ES44DCs, and SD70ACEs rampaging track and eating everything SP, MoPac, CNW, DRGW, Katy, and WP. with the frequent catch phrase "UNION PACIFIC HUNGRY!!!"

We need to see and hear recreations of Baldwin Steam Locomotives and Diesel-Electric Locomotives in a CGI animated feature. The Baldwin Diesel-Electric Locomotives had a style similar to steam ships.

What could be avoided is the appearance of the Baldwin Brothers.

A locomotive with a big mouth could accidentally inhale a cow or deer on the tracks!

[upchuck]

It will need some "dead cows on tracks"

What about the production of Computer Animated faces for Thomas the Tank engine charachters.

The Stationary faces are not expressive enough and mechanical faces would work better on larger scale models.

Why not a North American reworking of the Thomas the Tank Engine stories by Pixar and Disney Imagineers?

Sounds good to me!! [:)]

Actually, Thomas the Tank Engine covers this ground. I watched some at my Dad's nursing home, and while the stories may be at a child's level, they have some pretty good visuals of some neat (although fanciful) rolling stock -- they had this express engine (steam) pulling a one-car train occupied by the "Duke and Duchess" (Wallis Simpson I presume?) that had a good rendering of a high-drivered engine's rod work.

Wow![bow]

The Railfan Forum posted the idea about a week ago and they went even further. [:0]

Now we will have to compete by making and posting illustrations of our ideas.

[:D] Utilizing actual news reports, they could have a woman drive a gasoline train backwards 50km and another driven by a passed out intoxicated engineer in
Vietnam and call it a reality movie...

Lets not forget "Rudolph the rednosed hogger" that scares the little engines who fear being wrecked while under his drunken care, and the widspread "CSX rusted bridge collapse o phobia" that plagues all litle engines the first time subjectected to the realities of "pool power"

WARNING this aint Thomas or Pixar!

[Trainnut484]

This is interesting. I can think of a couple of scenes:

An Operation Lifesaver seminar to autos

To save a first generation diesel from the scrap yard.

Stopping a proposed merger of two railroads.

Just my [2c] worth

We certainly have to include some scenes where passengers are waving merrily at the folks stuck on the linear parking lots.

Maybe for drama the movie could include something about a big non-rail-related industry who doesn't want the trains to go by anymore...

BAM!

...All I have seen of the "Pixar" movies are the promotions and advertising, ete...but their ability to use that system of animation is awesome...! I hope to see the "Cars" version. The detail is outstanding....Looks like we could use more good productions as these seem to be. The Disney / Pixar team seems to be a refreshing product in our world now filled with so many that aren't.....

Since Pixar produced the movie "Cars" with one scene of a Train, why not make a new animated movie titled "TRAINS".

One possible way to approach it is this:

The Trains are the heavy haulers who pull the fragile little autos around in the big heavy Auto Carriers.

Somewhere in the movie a few "Cars" are struck by the Train and there is a big fight over who was at fault. Eventually it will be seen that the Train always has the right of way.

To add to the drama there will be a derailment and some heavy lift cranes to clean up the derailment.

There must be a steam restoration scene.

What scenes must be in the potential Disney Pixar movie "TRAINS"
