CAN I BORROW YOUR ODORANT? Disney/Pixar to release Monsters Inc. 2 on November 16, 2012; also coming from the studio will be
Pirates of the Caribbean 4, the Muppet movie Jason Segel was scripting,
the round-the-world
Cars 2 (6-24-2011) and, this June 18,
Toy Story 3.
I hope this also means that we finally get the Monsters, Inc. coaster ride that they've talked about for a while at Disney World. I'm not a coaster person, but that seems pretty awesome.
ReplyDeleteI love Pixar movies more than most anything in this world...but please, people, enough with the sequels.
ReplyDeleteI'm down with Pixar sequeles if they are as good as Toy Story 2 was. [High benchmark, I know.]
ReplyDeleteNot to mention that one of the finest Jim Henson muppet vehicles I can remember from my childhood, Dog City, is now available on dvd.
ReplyDeleteWatch the trailer here- while I loved it as a kid, I think it's probably for a slightly older crowd. If you love dogs as gangsters, my friend, you've come to the right place.
I don't mind sequels when I think there's more in that universe to be explored--I'd have a problem with "RatatTWOuille" or "Finding Nemo Again" because those stories are done, and I don't know that there's more to explore--I think there's definitely more to explore in Monstropolis as a concept (as there would be with an "Incredibles" sequel).
ReplyDeleteThat said, "Cars 2" seems like a complete cash-in. (That may just be because I think "Cars" is probably the weakest of the Pixar movies--felt like it was designed to sell toys to little boys.)
I'm not a huge sequel proponent, generally. However, if there's a creative cabal working today that I trust, it's Pixar, so if they think they can do Monsters Inc 2 justice, I'll be first in line to see it. As noted, they did a fantastic job with Toy Story 2, and the early review on TS3 are fantastic. So on with the adventures of Mike Wyzowski and Sulley! Squee!
