Pixar Heading Toward Sequel Summers
Pixar has made only one sequel - Toy Story 2 - all that could change with rumors of various projects underway at Pixar. What should we expect? Toy Story 3 - sequel to the sequel! The North American release date of this movie has been confirmed for June 18, 2010. Yeah!
On the horizon we will no doubt see a Cars 2 given the success of this franchise (merchandising on Cars currently accounts for over $5bn in revenues). Some have said we might expect to see Flash McQueen back on the screens in 2011. Work has also started on a sequel to 2001’s Monsters, Inc, a film that’s proven to be a continual success for Pixar. There’s no release date as of yet, but it’s a good assumption to expect it in 2012, which would make Pixar’s next three big summer movies sequels.
So what about Finding Nemo, Ratatouille, Wall-E and Up? We’ll just have to wait to find out.
