In "Creativity Inc.", Ed Carmull says their plan is to do one sequel for every two original films.There are 21 Pixar films either released or announced and only 8 are sequels. That's pretty good considering how risk-averse movie studios tend to be.
We recognized that making sequels, which were likely to do well at the box office, gave us more leeway to take those risks. Therefore, we came to the conclusion that a blend—one original film each year and a sequel every other year, or three films every two years—seemed a reasonable way to keep us both financially and creatively healthy.
