This website among many others

http://www.animated-news.com/2008/disney-announces-ten-animated-films-through-20.../

posts the detailed press release Disney has released regarding new film
projects. The project include:

Four Original features from Pixar:

WALL*E ( This year's big project of course )
Up ( I find this film's premise the most intriguing, because there's so
little detail in the premise, but it's still very promising. )
Newt ( Hmm, sounds like an animated romantic comedy )
The Bear and the Bow ( Maybe it has a Mel Gibson cameo? :-)

Two Pixar sequels

Toy Story 3
Cars 2

Four Walt Disney Feature animation films

Bolt ( Too bad Chris Sanders didn't finish this project )
The Princess and the Frog ( glad to see a new traditional animation
project, directed by Musker and Clements no
less )

I guess there's never going to be an Incredibles sequel. Man, that's too
bad, I really liked that movie a LOT.

Never's a long time. Remember how long it was before they did sequels to
Peter Pan and Cinderella?

Wow. That's a lot of CGI Tinker Bell. Did something happen
to make her interesting?

Conventional, and rubbing the old regime's face in it:
The "Shrek" version was kicked out the door with Eisner, and burned in
effigy.

So how explicit are they going to get as to how to make baby newts...?

No, he shut down the production of cheapquels. These Tink films are
"Disney Fairies" franchise products instead.

Several possible answers spring to mind:

"There will be some tasteful newtity."

or

"They'll pixellate the newty bits."

or

"Read my lips: no newt asses!"
