The plot centers around a group of kids from different time periods — Victorian England, the 1920s, the 1980s, and the modern day — who band together. It’s described as being “in the vein of Avatar and Harry Potter,” so you know the studio has dollar signs in its eyes. Hit the jump for more details on the Timeless movie.
Baltazar’s credits from his time at Pixar include Cars 2 and Brave. He’s also worked on The Price of Egypt and The Princess and the Frog. He left his post at Pixar to write the Timeless books, inspired by the stories he told to his own son Diego. He told THR the time-mixing was a metaphor for modern America’s melting pot culture.
“Together [the characters[ find value in their differences and they use that in their quest to save their families — and eventually their place in this fantastically changed world,” he said. “It’s an underlying theme to the adventure: cultures from [different] times and places [co-]existing, … struggling to save their world from those that would change it back.”
