Ross said Disney would release "Gnomeo & Juliet," the Elton John-produced animated musical produced by Miramax, in early 2011, through the Touchstone banner. Pic had been one of several that had been in mentioned to be in contention as Disney negotiates with bidders for Miramax. Miramax's Jennifer Aniston comedy "The Switch"
will also bow this August through Touchstone.
"Cars 2," the fourth "Pirates," the next "Muppet" movie (which will intro a new Muppet named Walter) and DreamWorks' "Real Steel" also unspool in 2011.
Tim Burton's stop-motion pic "Frankenweenie" and Andrew Stanton's live-action epic "John Carter of Mars" also bow in 2012.
As for projects he pulled the plug on, "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" was just "too dark." But he added, it is "still a project we're considering."In the big picture, Ross said his priority was to bring a tight focus and diversity to Disney's film slate.
