With the exception of Toy Story 2, Pixar had shied away from sequels for the most part for many years. But after last year's incredibly well-received Toy Story 3, Pixar has a couple of other follow ups in the pipeline, including this summer's Cars 2 and 2013's Monsters University, a prequel to Monsters, Inc.
During a recent trip to Pixar, I spoke to the company's Chief Creative Officer, the legendary John Lasseter, and noted that working at IGN, I see many fans say they'd love to see a sequel to The Incredibles on message boards. Replied Lasseter, with a smile, "Well, I've probably written in too saying I would like to see a sequel to that! 'Can you do something with that?'"
Lasseter's serious answer though unfortunately indicates Incredibles fans shouldn't look for a sequel anytime soon, as he remarked, "We love [The Incredibles]. We love those characters and love that world too, but there's nothing in the works right now." Incredibles director Brad Bird is currently in post-production on his first live-action movie, Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol.
After Cars 2, the next Pixar film will be summer 2012's Brave and there was a wonderful image from the film on display at the Pixar office of the main character, Princess Merida (voiced by Kelly Macdonald), showing her with long, flowing, fiery red hair and holding a sword.

At Pixar we've always strived to have strong female characters, but granted, all of our films have had male main characters – though female characters have been very, very important in most of the films. But it's nice to have a film where the female is the main character."
Added Lasseter, "It's also our first real, true period film. Incredibles is sort of a period film, in that it's set in a world that evokes the 60s. But this is really medieval Scotland and it's really fun to kind of go into this and to have this kind of legend and lore feel to it. But it's very, very modern in its main character and its arc and the desires and things. It's got phenomenal characters and the look of this thing is unlike anything you've ever seen. Even for Pixar, there's a gorgeous, unique look to this movie and it's very, very exciting."
