It was apparently top secret info, told in confidence to buyers at the Licencing International Expo 2009 (a Las Vegas trade fair where studios hawk their upcoming wares), but the news that a sequel to Monsters Inc. is in development at Pixar, alongside Cars 2 and Toy Story 3, could not be contained.  There are few other details as yet, aside from the fact of original director Pete Docter's involvement. Docter's Up is currently doing rather well on US screens, and we're intrigued to see what he can do with the same characters a few years on. After all, Pixar's only sequel to date was the utterly ace Toy Story 2, so there's a high bar there to vault over.  The same source also reports that Disney / Bruckheimer Western The Lone Ranger has now taken precedence over Pirates of the Caribbean 4, which has been bumped to summer 2012. Yo-ho Silver!

RE: Incredibles 2
Im certainly very much looking forward to Monsters inc and Toy Story sequels. Monsters Inc I fell in love with the first time I saw it up on the big screen. So original... and it left so much room for a sequel, Im so glad they're getting around to it finally!   And Toy Story 3 should be one of the most eagerly awaited sequels of next year!!! ... Read More MartyW About me

Incredibles 2
Great news about a sequel to Monsters Inc as more Sully is always a good thing. A sequel to Cars is so great as the first Cars wasn't that hot, but another chance for Jeremy Clarksonr to do his London/Yank Jewish agent voice is always welcome. But Incredibles 2 is the most sought after as The Incredibles was a bona fide classic. ... Read More Taz69 About me

I'm sure they wouldn't do a sequel unless they really had a good idea, and it'll be nice to revisit Mike and Sully (and, I'm guessing, a much older Boo). But surely the most sequel-friendly Pixar film is The Incredibles? And with the whole history of comic books to draw on for inspiration, they could do something brilliant. ... Read More britesparc About me
