It looks like Disney and Pixar are in the sequel game for good now with three TOY STORY films, two CARS productions and one MONSTERS INC. prequel under their belt, they’re not stopping there.
Everyone knows that sequels tend to make more money at the box office these days, and it just so happens that Pixar are not only extremely popular, but they also make exceptional follow-ups to their work. With the upcoming FINDING DORY as well as the recently announced 3D conversions of THE INCREDIBLES and RATATOUILLE, you would think Pixar have enough exciting prospects on their hands. However the multi-award winning animation studio have just dropped another sequel bomb that many movie-goers have been anticipating for a very long time.
Pixar have just announced that THE INCREDIBLES 2 and CARS 3 are currently in early stages of development. Of course CARS 3 was all-but-a-given for the studio with the success of the previous two instalments, however it’s the announcement of THE INCREDIBLES 2 which really has people excited. Ever since the release of the fantastic first film a decade ago, fans have been clamouring for a sequel and now it looks like they’re finally getting one. The films original director Brad Bird (THE IRON GIANT, MISSION IMPOSSIBLE: GHOST PROTOCOL) is said to be in early stages of developing the film. Bird will likely begin extensive work on THE INCREDIBLES 2 after the release of his upcoming TOMORROWLAND in May. You can also expect to hear news on CARS 3 very soon as Disney wont want to wait too long before getting that into theatres (especially after the toy sales of the first two).
