When Sequels Attack

Watch out, it’s coming. Clear the waters, it’s a ssss…sequel! That’s right folks, the “fish are friends” movie is coming back to the big screen.  Announced today is that director Andrew Stanton is returning to animated films to direct Finding Nemo 2! After Disney’s John Carter, Stanton’s first live action movie, many were sad to see him divert from animated films. He and Lee Unkrich have directed countless big name Pixar hits with Unkrich directing Pixar’s top grossing film Toy Story 3, the only movie to beat the original film Finding Nemo.

Pixar is known for its originality and coming up with one unique film after another. Who doesn’t love that jumping lamp at the opening credits?! Some have begun to raise skepticism about all of these sequels, but Toy Story 3 grossed the highest numbers yet! Cars 2 may have allegedly been created for commercial reasons, but it’s not stopping there. With Monsters Inc. 2 in the works and Toy Story 4 getting the “green light,” many have been left wondering is WALL-E or Up next?

What animated sequel do you want to be made?
