Leonard Maltin or John Lasseter would be good.

If I had to choose one I'd vote for Lassetter, he's like a big kid in the way he hosts things and he's actually involved in making the films.
Although if they choose him, they'd have more issues about "Do we really want Pixar to be the face of Disney?"

John Lasseter gets excited about his movies, and about quality movies. But I don't see him being thrilled about introducing the World Television Premier of movies like George of the Jungle II. You need a professional actor if you want enthusiasm about films like that.

They could just not have him appear those nights. Michael Eisner didn't introduce every film that was on WWOD.

George of the Jungle 2 ranks up there with films like Snow White, Mary Poppins and Pinocchio as one of the greatest and influencial films to have come out of the studio. With its high production values featuring lush scenery and a fun and touching story, George of the Jungle 2 will send your heart soaring and inspire your imagination.

Can I win an Oscar now?

That was pretty good...I actually believed it at first! Like: What the...?

...i hate Leonard Maltin. He sounds a bit too patronizing.

He seems like a nice guy but also like that kid in class who always has his hand up. Kind of a know-it-all.

I liked how they had him in South Park.

If Disney buys Pixar I think it's quite possible that John Lassetter will host. Especially if he ends up running WDFA in addition to Pixar.

....we can only hope, anyway.

John Lasseter would be great. Steve Jobs would be an interesting choice.

Lasseter would be awesome! I guess Jobs would be good, too, but like Vi said, I'd rather watch a 'big kid' guy in a flower shirt than a bald guy in a suit.

You're apparently not familiar with Jobs' preferred fashion style!

No. But he's bald.

Jobs' idea of dressing up is not a suit, but jeans and a black turtleneck.

I think Jobs would be the better choice. To me, he would have much more "face" value (ie, more people would know him) than Lasseter.

Post by **Meg** » January 26th, 2006, 7:36 pm

I dunno. Ignoring the 'face', I think Lasseter would be more likeable.
