Pixar isn’t just double dipping their pool of non-stop success with Toy Story and Cars, but now another alum will get the sequel treatment.
Monsters Inc.
Nine years after the hugely successful Pete Docter directed Monsters, Inc. hit theaters, new chairman of Walt Disney Studios Rich Ross announced a second installment slated for November 2012 at a media event on Thursday.
I often worry about sequels to complete stories.
I know that Pixar wants to monopolize on their existing properties, and for the most part I am happy to see them. Toy Story 3 looks great, and Cars 2 has potential (I know its not popular, but I love it) but one of the things that make most Pixar films so great is its complete story.
Where there is potential for more story, it works. But something like Monsters Inc was a complete story. The problem solved, power crisis averted, and their world view was shattered and replaced with a new one.
Where is the sequel story?
I hold my anticipation on this until I hear more.
