At the licensing fair in Las Vegas, Disney/Pixar revealed to buyers behind closed doors that they have yet another sequel in the works. Despite what Brad Bird said on stage at WonderCon two years ago, Pixar is now in the sequel business. Cars 2, Toy Story 3, and now Monsters Inc 2. According to Jim Hill, buyers who attended these limited preview sessions were sworn to secrecy by Disney officials, but several have confirmed that Pete Docter will be following up Up with a sequel to Monsters, Inc.


A Monsters Inc sequel has been rumored for some time now. At Comic-Con 2008, director Pete Docter responded to an audience question about the prospects of a sequel by admitting that "We've thought about it We've got a couple ideas." And now that it is quasi-confirmed, when should we expect to return to Monstropolis? Pixar has announced all their films up until 2012, so could a Monsters Inc sequel be in store for 2013?



Pixar fansite The Pixar Blog started receiving strange searches this past January for variations of "'monsters 2013 pixar". The interesting thing about the searches is that they were coming from inside Pixar, from the Pixar.com domain. I know, circumstantial at best. But now that we know a sequel is definitely in the works, it seems a bit more likely that it's being groomed for a 2013 release.

Pixar has a great record with sequels so far. Toy Story 2 is one of the best reviewed movies of all time according to Rotten Tomatoes. Truth is, I wouldn't mind seeing a sequel to Monsters, Inc. Docter's return says a lot for the project, and definitely is a vote of confidence from the original creative team. The only other Pixar film I'm remotely interested in seeing sequalized is The Incredibles. But with Brad Bird trying to get his live-action adaptation of 1906 off the ground, that isn't likely to happen in the next four or five years, at very least.

Awesome! I LOVED the first one. When I was 8 years old, I couldn't get enough of it. I had always hoped for a sequel, but I didn't know if we'd get one. And since Pete Docter's got a good resume, I bet this one will be good.
 
On one hand, Pixar can't possibly screw it up.
On the other, it was such a classic movie with a complete ending that I'd rather see a sequel to Up or The Incredibles.

The other films don't really need sequels, and I don't want there to be too many, to ruin Pixar's good sequel record.
Even so, I'm still excited for all their sequels! lol
 
hmm i can think of other Pixar movies that are more deserving of a sequel (cough The Incredibles cough), that doesn't mean that this won't be awesome. i have full faith in Pixar into making this movie amazing
 
Persnally, I like the idea of having a new, different, unique move from Pixar every year, but it looks like that patten is going to be broken.

P.S. What's wrong with the quote box?
