| Pictured: Pixar, resigned to making more sequels |
News broke today that Pixar, in addition to working on the previously announced
Finding Nemo sequel
Finding Dory and the original features
Inside Out and
The Good Dinosaur, have begun work on a sequel to Brad Bird's
The Incredibles, which was released way back in the less superhero-clogged days of 2004, and a third film in the
Cars series. The latter announcement wasn't that surprising since, even though neither of the previous
Cars films were as warmly received as the films that preceded or followed them in the Pixar chronology - I myself likened
Cars 2 to demented fanfiction, and said that giving Pixar a pass for how terrible it was would be akin to covering up for a loved one after they killed someone in a drunk driving accident - they were sizable hits, and between them grossed more than a billion dollars worldwide. (Not to mention that the franchise has been a huge cash cow for Disney/Pixar in terms of merchandising.)
