If you missed SyFy Radio Wednesday night, you were left out of a somewhat historical show for us ... well, as historical as you can get for being about five months into broadcasting. First of all, we were stood up for the first time (we knew it had to happen eventually) by some guy named Chuck Williams that many of us are still trying to figure out who he even is. Secondly, 15 minutes before Wednesday's show started, we had breaking news that "Stargate: Atlantis" had been canceled. This column isn't a post-mortem on the show, as it's not done yet.

Fresh off the release of animated feature Brother Bear, the Walt Disney Co. has signed an exclusive deal with the creative team behind the film to partner on their next animated film. Bear directors Aaron Blaise and Robert Walker, along with producer Chuck Williams, signed the deal assuring that their next project -- which has yet to be determined -- will roll out under the Disney banner. "Chuck, Aaron and Bob have done a remarkable job with Brother Bear and have created an exceptional and richly rewarding motion picture experience for moviegoers of all ages," Walt Disney Motion Pictures Group chairman Richard Cook said. "With their combined knowledge and experience in animation, they have brought a unique vision and perspective to the art and storytelling process. Brother Bear has a spirit and excitement that reflects the sensibilities of these three talented filmmakers. We are looking forward to working with them on their next film." While Brother Bear marks the directorial debut for Blaise and Walker and the producing bow for Williams, all three have been key contributors to Walt Disney Feature Animation Florida since its first day of operation in 1989. Blaise has worked as a supervising animator on characters in such films as Aladdin, The Lion King and Mulan, while Walker supervised the layout department on Mulan and Lilo & Stitch. Williams previously worked in Disney's Feature Animation Special Projects unit and in 1998 took on the role of developing feature projects for Disney's Florida Animation studio.
