E! Online (syndicated via Yahoo News) reports that the next Pixar computer animation release, Cars, has been moved from its original November 2005 release date to June 2006, amid worries about its plot.
The article, drawing on comments from Internet message boards and other sources, suggests that a weak story may be behind the rescheduling. Trailers for the film are already available online and in theaters.
If the plot is indeed the problem, the article does not address the issue of how a film like Cars can be salvaged. Rewriting the script would not be difficult, but as the imagery is computer-generated, it's unclear how hard or how expensive it would be to re-create significant portions of the movie.
Pixar's most recent release, The Incredibles, has grossed more than $200 million in theaters to date.
