Pixar to move on from producing sequels

Speaking with EW, Pixar president Jim Morris has said that the animation studio will move on from producing sequels once Toy Story 4, Cars 3 and The Incredibles 2 have released (with the latter film releasing in 2019). In his words: “everything after Toy Story and The Incredibles is an original right now.”

In our minds this is a good thing. Pixar has always been a company thriving off of originality; plus, their sequels haven’t necessarily taken things to new heights. The Incredibles 2 is perhaps their best shot at furthering one of their franchises, as it was always screaming out for a sequel, but even that might end up feeling like a bit of a retread.

Saying all of that though, have a read of Nick’s opinion piece on whether Finding Dory is too familiar to Finding Nemo or not?
