Toy Story 2 and 3 are certainly Pixar’s finest work but the one negative bi product was that it sent its creators into the disillusion that all sequels they could make would be equally great. This lead to the vastly disappointing Cars 2 and Monsters University and the upcoming Finding Dory while they’ve had much more success with their recent original concepts such as Wall-E, Up and Brave Despite all of this, the only sequel fans have genuinely demanded is the one that’s finally been shifted into development. The Incredibles, the action tale of a reluctant superhero family, has finally been optioned by Disney’s boss Roger Iger while the original’s director Brad Bird is set to begin work on a new script soon.
The fault they need to avoid this time is to share more of the feel of the first film. Cars 2 ditched a genuinely moving tale of a city slacker reluctantly stranded in the countryside which he soon falls in love with, not dissimilar to Local Hero, for an all-out generic spy spoof. Monsters Inc, although undeniably funny, was, at its heart, a jazz-age conspiracy thriller, a theme completely ditched in place of a campus comedy. We can expect the potential cast to include Craig T Nelson, Holly Hunter, Spence Fox, Sarah Vowell, Brad Bird, John Ratzenberger, Wallace Shawn and Samuel L Jackson.
If this seems too far away, you can catch plenty of Pixar in the coming years. 2015 will see The Good Dinosaur and Pete Docter’s Inside Out followed by Andrew Stanton’s Finding Dory in 2016.
