This article comes under TZWikiProject Oscars, baby!

Okay, the big thing here: I've just found that - oh no! - most of the info is copied from Wikipedia. I'm hesitant to delete it all right now since the short-term goal of the project is to get the article to provide as much info as Wiki, but obviously this won't do and we need to give it an overhaul. The thing to do is to view the sources cited in the Wikipedia article and then re-add the info in our own words. I'll be chipping in there today, anyone else want to join the scrubbing?

Other than that -

Done:
Plot
Production
Release
Reception
Soundtrack
Tie-ins
Could be improved:
Introduction
Needs:
Characters
Crew

Unfortunatley I had to remove some of the information in "production" altogether 'casue I couldn't find a source. This is what I took out:

After Sanders left and the original title removed, the animation team was told to complete the movie in just 18 months instead of the usual four years that is normally required to produce a computer-animated feature.

On June 8, 2007, Disney announced that the film, now under its current name, would be released on November 21, 2008 in Disney Digital 3-D.

The Wikipedia article it was taken from wasn't much help - the references given were either incorrect or subscription-only. If anyone can provide sources for the above info that'd be great.

Another unsourced Wikipedia claim:

A trailer for the film was released on June 27, 2008, preceding WALL-E. A second trailer for the film was released on October 3, 2008, preceding Beverly Hills Chihuahua. A special trailer was shown before High School Musical 3: Senior Year on October 24, 2008.

By the way, I've not seen this film - anyone who has want to cover the characters section?
