The Pixar and Disney animation studios' chief creative officer, John Lasseter, broke the news at a star-studded event at Kodak Theatre in Hollywood meant to show off the upcoming lineup at The Walt Disney Co.
Lasseter also announced that "Cars 2,” the sequel to the blockbuster he directed for Pixar Animation Studios, would be released in the summer of 2011, a year earlier than once planned.
Miley Cyrus, star of an eponymous movie and television show, performed a live song from "Hannah Montana: The Movie”; Robin Williams and John Travolta, stars most recently of "Old Dogs,” yucked it up on stage with Disney studio Chairman Dick Cook; George Lopez appeared to promote "Beverly Hills Chihuahua” and Dwayne Johnson was there to tout "Race to Witch Mountain.”
