Recently there have been a lot of Pixar sequels: CARS 2, TOY STORY 2, TOY STORY 3, and the soon to be released MONSTERS UNIVERSITY. However, fans have remarked that with the exception of the TOY STORY films, Pixar haven’t had that much success with the rest. Ed Catmull, president of both Walt Disney Animation and Pixar, has taken this criticism on board and has said:
“For artistic reasons … it’s really important that we do an original film a year. Every once in a while, we get a film where we want or people want to see something continuing in that world — which is the rationale behind the sequel. They want those characters, which means we were successful with them. But if you keep doing that, then you aren’t doing original films.”
Summer 2015 is promising to be an exciting time for Disney and Pixar, with FINDING DORY – the sequel to FINDING NEMO – the only sequel in the pipeline. Their original release for the year is INSIDE OUT, which is said to take place within the mind of a young girl. With Catmull saying he wants to have an original film every year, and supposedly a sequel every other year, it looks like fans might get what they’ve wished for.
What do you think – would you like to see TOY STORY 4 or INCREDIBLES 2, or are the movies just best left alone?

I’d love an Incredibles 2 as it’s one of my personal Pixar favorites but yeah, they’ve been a bit too keen on sequels lately, and it won’t hurt if they hold back a little.
