News   Pick A Pixar, Any Pixar
- Posted By Lander Clinton, 05.08.2002

THQ Inc. announced today its deal to make games based on Disney's Pixar films until 2008.

The next three games THQ has the right to make are based on "Finding Nemo," "The Incredibles," and "Cars."

"Finding Nemo" is about two fish, a father and a son, who get separated in the ocean. If you've ever taken your computer-animated pet fish for a nice swim in the ocean, you'll know how hard it is to find them again.

"The Incredibles" is about a family of superheroes trying to retain their secret identities. If you ask me, people who change clothes in phone boothes aren't really retaining any secrets.

"Cars" may as well be called "Car Story," because it's from the same man who made the "Toy Story" films. It features cars with personalities. Let's hope for a Model T. that acts like Cranky Kong.

Historically, Nintendo systems have launched every five years in America (The NES came out in 1985 in New York, but 1986 in the rest of the country). If Nintendo starts its next system in 2006, this would put this deal past the life of the GameCube, although no one is doubting that Game Boy will still be around in some form.

Look for these games around the same times the movies come out.
