    It might be nothing. It's probably just ideas for a movie that was shelved by the artist never took them off the board.

    Wouldn't it be funny if it just turned out to be his kid's art he's hanging up in his office?

    @CaptainCynic: Oh gosh I'd *LOVE* for Pixar to adapt that book! It was the first book I ever learned to "read" (I suspect I just memorized it) and they'd do such a fun job on it as opposed to Dreamworks or Nickelodeon which would spend so much time making it "hipper."

    But Pixar doesn't seem to go the adapted route... the closest I can think of was A Bug's Life which was a take on 7 Samurai and 3 Amigos...

    no.
    you have two pictures of a boy and one picture of a dino with a figure standing beside it - concept stuff like this very often has a generic figure to give a sense of scale...
    that the images are collected on the same black backing suggests they are related, but no more than that.

    @CoffinDodger (If the typos crap. Blame my keyboard): That was done by Disney, not Pixar. Was their first animated feature without singing. (I know you wanted to know that) :)

    @CoffinDodger (If the typos crap. Blame my keyboard): I believe that was the last big summer Disney movie that they were doing since Little Mermaid. If memory served it was a giant flop.

    Could be Dinosaur Bob. Pixar has a past relationship with William Joyce

    @quidsquid: I'm going to agree. If it looks like anything, it looks like Dinosaur Bob. Now that would be GORGEOUS.
