John Carter of Mars to mix Live and Animation

Today, during the press junket for Pixar’s latest, Ratatouille, IESB’s Robert Sanchez started inquiring to anyone who would listen about a big project that the studio has coming up, John Carter of Mars. Big question on fans' minds? Will it be live action or animated?
With Pixar behind it one has to wonder. Well boy and girls we’ve got your answer.
IESB was told that John Carter of Mars would be both. Pixar will use both live action and animation working together to bring the story to life.
Meanwhile, one more tidbit of news, Brad Bird reconfirmed that he is definitely working on 1906 next. Anybody that was still hopeful, as we posted previously, he will not be directing John Carter of Mars.
