I dunno. Aren't these books a bit...nakedy...for a Pixar flick? Yeah, yeah, I realize they'll just have everyone running around in loincloths and brass bikinis, but still, it all seems a bit lurid for their standards.
(Not that I'm complaining, mind you, I think it's great that a studio tries to stretch, and I'm super-looking forward to it. Just the more I think about it, the more I realize this is a curious choice to follow up "Up" and "Wall-E" with.)
