It will centre on the idea of a child-like imagination and examine themes of creativity and teamwork in the manner of "Toy Story." The picture will have elements for children, but the studio is hoping it also will play to adults.

Veteran comics artist Gene Colan is in the hospital with pneumonia, Clifford Meth reports.
Gene Colan is back in the hospital, which is always serious for someone his age. He was taken to Mt. Sinai Hospital yesterday morning and may be home by late Wednesday-early Thursday. He has pneumonia in his right lung behind his heart and there's the possibility of infection.
I am announcing this so you can add your prayers to ours, but I must insist that his wife Adrienne NOT be inundated with emails and phone calls right now. Post messages to the Gene Colan board at Yahoo but do NOT start calling her now--she is exhausted and has enough to deal with.
Well-wishes can be sent to Gene Colan, 2240 Burnett Street, #5D, Brooklyn, NY 11229.
Get well soon, Gene!
