Pixar's Next Three Films Will Be Sequels

Posted by kdawson on from the low-hanging-fruit-is-the-first-to-rot dept.

brumgrunt writes "Should we be worried? As Pixar, with Up, once more proves itself to be home to some of the most original and daring blockbusters on the planet, the news that its next three films are likely to be sequels — with the confirmation of Monsters, Inc. 2 — gives cause for concern. Are commercial pressures catching up with one of our most inventive movie companies?"

    You shouldn't worry. Shut up and get a life.

      Definitely, what's the worst thing that happens? They run their franchises into the ground, ruin the good name of their company, and make horrible movies? That's going to cause you personal WORRY? You are waaaay too emotionally invested in this.

      Sounds like Disney to me.

      The Incredibles was the only Fantastic Four movie to do the Fantastic Four justice. Funny old world, isn't it?

    Assuming Pixar's "competition" will continue to be such "gems" as Madagascar 2, Ice Age 2 or whatever Shrek sequel is coming down the pipeline, there's nothing to worry about. Now if John Lasseter leaves, then we might be able to talk about Pixar going downhill.

    As far as safe bets go, a Pixar film is a safer bet than a sequel. Have they ever failed?

    The headline is wrong, by the way. There will be non-sequels in between.

    You clearly have not seen Up.

    Or Wall-E or Ratatouille, for that matter.
