Disney/Pixar's Next Four Years

[tealin]

Read the press release HERE!

Of course, if I had written it, you'd be able to tell because it would read normally until you got to this:

Rapunzel (2010)
OMG YOU GUYS SO AWESOME!!!!!

That is why they don't hire me to write these things.


I shall post links to the officially released artwork and suchlike when it appears ...

I didn't see any mention of 'Incredibles 2' in the news release, unfortunately .... :-(

(I assume there hasn't been a direct-to-DVD release of further Incredibles adventures or anything like that? I haven't seen anything of such; would love it if there was)

No no, I think it's a matter of a)Brad Bird being too busy to direct it and/or b)Brad Bird being too busy to even pitch an idea. Or maybe he doesn't want to make a sequel. He doesn't seem like much of the sequel type; he seems more like 'Been there, told that story, done now, new thing!' type of guy. He's working in live action now, believe it or not, on 1906 (http://www.darkhorizons.com/news08/080313h.php).

'S funny, on one side are the people who go 'Mwuhhh, everything is sequels nowadays!' and on the other are 'Where's my Incredibles 2?' I suspect there might even be some line-hopping going on.

I think they came as close as they were ever going to when they released a sequel for the gaming consoles. I never actually played it, but it was The Incredibles: The Rise of the Underminer (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underminer)

I'm usually in the "no more sequels!" camp ("Cars 2"? "Toy Story 3"? Why, Pixar, why? I thought we understood each other :( ), "The Incredibles" is one of the few movies that I think actually could have a sequel and work. The ending just seemed to beg for more. I'd be happy either way, whether they decide to leave it as it is or go ahead and do another story with the characters. All the rest of Pixar's movies stand well on their own and I think sequels to them are pretty unnecessary.

P.S.

I get the impression that Pixar would rather sell everything it owns and go into seclusion than ever, ever make a direct-to-video sequel (a la recent Disney).

Well, I saw a 'Cars 2' sequel in that lot, so I'm going to keep my fingers crossed anyway.

Thanks for confirming that Mr. Incredible and family haven't been seen since the first movie :-)

Cars 2 is not a surprise - that's a Lasseter film, Lasseter made Toy Story and Toy Story 2, and Cars by all accounts was his pet project. But it won't be a direct-to-DVD cheapquel.
