    please tell me they plan to use an actual physical robot?

    a CGI Johnny Five, would be nothing more than, well to use an over used phrase "they raped my childhood" decision.

    I have a feeling the Short Circuit remake will be more Mac & C.H.E.E.S.E.

    I figured this thread would be some sort of backhanded allusion to that movie as well.:devil:

    CASH IN.

    What? PIXAR is making a movie about a lovable robot? Let's dust off any old movie along those lines and rake in the cash!

    At least it's being remade by the same people as the first one.

    Plus maybe they can make a sequel that doesn't completely suck.

    I don't get why they would even attempt to remake this. What's next, Batteries Not Included?

    I dunno, it's listed for 2010. Can you really call something a cash-in when it comes TWO YEARS later? And with the lengthy development time of the CG movies compared to live-action, the difference gets even larger.

    For all practical purposes they've already done that. There's so much cgi added into the special edition that it's like reading a book you've loved all your life, and somebody decided to smear poop on every page.
