I am totally out of my element here. Never read any of the original books and have no earthly idea what they're about. But I have a such a new respect for Stanton after WALL-E that I will definitely follow any news about it.

Hm...this sounds really different from what I would expect from Pixar. But then again, after WALL-E, I don't really know WHAT to expect from Pixar.

The last interview I heard with Andrew Stanton, he said it wasn't even clear yet if Pixar would be releasing it. He emphasized immediately that he's NOT leaving Pixar ("I will NEVER leave Pixar."), but that the film might be done in connection with another studio. THAT would be interesting considering all the great studios under the Disney umbrella: Miramax, Touchstone, etc.

Mentioning DreamWorks in comparison to Pixar is bound to cause problems. Basically, DreamWorks good movies = Shrek, Shrek 2, Kung Fu Panda. Pixar's library of good movies and, for that matter, successful movies, is much much larger. Anyway, the "etc." on vanessa's post likely indicated she meant other studios, such as Paramount, as well.

Let's just say there are two very different philosophies between Disney and DreamWorks -- especially in the animation companies they hire/own. Which studio you like better usually has something to do with what types of stories/characters you prefer.
I am really going to bite my tongue here and not start ranting my personal opinions of what's been going on in DreamWorks animation for the past couple years. Especially since they axed Aardman.
As for any of the Pixar directors using any studios other than ones associated with Disney -- I seriously doubt that would happen. I think Andrew Stanton would rather cut off his right arm than work with DreamWorks after how Katzenberg betrayed Lasseter's friendship in 1998. (The "Bug's Life" vs "Antz" saga) It's public knowledge how the Pixar executives feel about Katzenberg.

According to this report from last year, the film might be a mixture of live-action and animation. Of course, things might've changed since then(that report was a few months before Stanton was announced as director), but I thought I'd throw that in.

Very interesting indeed. Who Framed Roger Rabbit has taught us that animation mixed with live-action, when done properly and not just because they can, can make for a classic. I will certainly be hoping that is the case here.

Now, that would be cool! I'm so glad Pixar isn't "purist" with a "no live-action" policy. We see how well incorporating a little live-action worked in WALL-E.
