Andrew Stanton Returns for a Finding Nemo Sequel....

[MarkTwain]

What Pixar has previously stated is that as Pixar is a "director-driven" studio, whether a movie gets a sequel or not is entirely dependent on whether the director to a movie wants to create one. In other words, the studio won't simply, say, hire a director and scriptwriter to write an "Up 2" even if Pete Docter objects to it (exactly what Disney did with its cheapquels in the 1990s).

The problem is that The Incredibles' Brad Bird has been very busy with other projects, some of which haven't even been for Pixar, and it seems like with the recent Mission Impossible sequel and the upcoming 1952, his career has increasingly turned toward live-action. So The Incredibles 2 can only happen when he feels like making one, which may never happen.

Although many of our opinions may be valid, the bottom line is that these sequels, however good or awful they may be, will continue to make buttloads of money; why? Because children will continue to want to see them and mommy and daddy will continue to take little Timmy to see his favorite Disney/Pixar stars =).
Its all about the money in the end.

Well, it's not like they are in the charity business.

I am excited, but nervous because I want it to be great ad not ruin the first movie. Like Monsters University, it will have to be the continuing story "blank Nemo" or "Nemo blankity blank" I am excited to see Nemo 3D! I saw a preview in 3D and it looks better than Lion King or Beauty and the Beast in 3D (I loved both). But yeah, they better bring their A game to this story and we shall see!

So let me get this straight. Stop with the sequels, but why haven't they made the Incredibles sequel?

At least stop making sequels to movies that don't deserve one. IMO Incredibles is the one that most deserves a sequel unlike Cars, Monsters Inc, and Finding Nemo.

I totally understand, but I believe that "deserve" is a matter of opinion. While I will not put up too much defense to Cars 2 (I see where they were trying to go, I see where they went wrong, I also see my kids loving that movie), I tend to think that I could quite enjoy multiple movies set in the "worlds" of Monsters Inc and Nemo (and yes, as a comic book fan, the Incredibles I will not argue about, I could see 100 of them). As long as the stories are well done, and care is put into the characters, I think that there are many of these film franchises that could have multiple sequels. It all comes back to story and execution. If either of those fail, it's be a bad movie. If they keep putting out quality, it will be a welcome in my eyes.

Anyone see this?

Although the Finding Nemo news kinda made me roll my eyes, the prospect of a 4th Toy Story makes me want to smash my head into a wall. What I can't tell is if the article has a legitimate and recent source regarding a 4th Toy Story, or if they just lumped the recent Nemo news on top of the Monsters University trailer and what Tom Hanks mumbled about a month ago to create an article about "3 Pixar sequels".

That is some terrible writing! Saying a Monsters sequel is "reportedly" in the works, and then later saying that a trailer for the movie was released last month!

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if this is just one of those rumors that has taken on a life of its own. Andrew Stanton said directing live action was easier than directing animation, flopped in live action, and now he's going to run right back to animation? To set himself up for another disappointment by making a sequel to a huge film that may be very hard to top? No doubt Disney wants a Finding Nemo 2, but I don't know why Andrew Stanton would. Maybe that was the price to get another live action film in a few years.

If you want Finding Nemo 2 news, watch Ellen's show. She never misses a chance to complain about not having a Finding Nemo 2. If she clams up all of a sudden, you can bet that Disney's talked to her about it.

Well pixar is just following the trend. Look at the gaming world, sequels are king. Why? Studios see it as a safe bet because popular franchises sell, A LOT. I'm not opposed to sequels as long as the story is worth telling and the same care is given to the film as an original IP. Having franchises is smart business if done right. If you are not careful though, you can damage the image of the studio. I will agree with many that the incredibles should have been first in line for a 2nd movie.

He gets lost again?

Well they did make taken 2, so maybe his father gets lost? I just hope that they don't do a plot line similar to "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner".

Another prediction I once got flamed for comes true.

See the pattern?

Well there is this one quote about a thousand monkeys with typewriters.

Anyone see this?

A fourth one? Ugh. The TS shorts is all that is really needed to kick some dust up for the franchise, we don't need another 2 hour adventure for a storyline has ran its course.

So, wait, between now and the potential "sequel" for Finding Nemo, we're getting at least two brand new concepts from Pixar (The Good Dinosaur and the yet to be titled one inside the child's mind) and because they may return to the Nemo universe, people all over the place (outside of here more than on here) are burying Pixar???
Why are sequels so terrible? Anyone remember Toy Story 2 and Toy Story 3? Each sequel better than the last.
If they announce that it's another movie where Nemo gets lost and they have to go find him again, basically retell the first, ok, I can understand trepidation. If they decide that these are beloved characters with a whole new story to tell, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt.

Remember cars 2? I think the Simpsons summed it up pretty well:

Pixar needs to stop with the sequels before their product gets tainted. There was no reason for a cars sequel and there's absolutly no reason for the new monsters inc movie either (and I'm honestly not that excited about it, especially after seeing the trailer). And I honestly hope they don't make Toy Story 4. The third one was a fantastic conclusion. The shorts they've been making however are fantastic and I would like to see more of those.

And I agree with the others on here, of all the sequels pIxar makes I have no idea why the incredibles keeps getting the shaft. There's so much potential! And I wanna see more of Edna Mode!

Same feeling about m2, the trailer just is not that appealing.

Please let me know we you have some evidence that proves that quote true. Even just one sentence would be amazing.

 

[Cmdr_Crimson]

I don't get why Finding Nemo gets a sequel... what can possibly happen this time?

Well, The Nemo ride at Epcot IS a Sequel...You even hear Marlin say Oh No Not Again! and also explain to Dory that they went on a Big Adventure Together...Plus Nemo Finnally meets Crush & Squirt...

 

[Chevross]

Finding Nemo Jr: Like Father Like Son.

It could work.

 

[BrightImagine]

Andrew Stanton very much deserves another chance, but I don't know if this is the way to go about it.

Pixar needs Brad Bird back. His vision is totally unique. I hope he will have a renewed interest in animation.

 

[twinnstar]

Ratatouille was good. Wall-e should have never made it out of conceptual and whoever thought it up should have been fired.

woah, are you kidding? Wall-e is a masterpiece!
