filmmusic 2,763 Posted June 6, 2013 Posted June 6, 2013 Just watched the Monsters U trailer..... Not impressed! In fact it looks like the least interesting Pixar film yet. If the first film never existed and this was the introduction these characters it would never get made.... It just looks and feels like such a cash in movie. Bummer.i agree!

Bummer.Agreed, although its been looking like that for a while now.Animation looks beautiful though.
Wojo 2,458 Posted June 6, 2013 Posted June 6, 2013 Seems unnecessary. Like it would've worked better as its college tie-in commercials.Hey, I agree with you!
Max 153 Posted September 18, 2013 Posted September 18, 2013 Pixar's The Good Dinosaur has been moved to 2015 and Finding Dory has been moved to 2016.http://www.slashfilm.com/pixar-skips-2014-as-the-good-dinosaur-shifts-to-2015-and-finding-dory-to-2016/I wonder how well The Good Dinosaur, an original film, will do in 2015 with competition from so many established franchises.
Jay 43,908 Posted September 18, 2013 Posted September 18, 2013 Pixar already has an original film coming out in the summer of 2015 - Inside Out. I made a post on the board here somewhere about how it's the only original movie coming out in a franchise-filled summer.Found ithttp://www.jwfan.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=23422&p=923295
Max 153 Posted September 18, 2013 Posted September 18, 2013 I should've phrased that as "another original film." Whoops!Inside Out is the upcoming Pixar film I'm most excited about (and one of the 2015 films I'm most excited about, too), but it's still a bummer that we'll have to wait even longer to watch The Good Dinosaur. Kudos to Pixar for delaying the film to get it right, though.As for Finding Dory, I thought a 2015 release date was pretty early. It sounded like they only started production about a year ago (http://articles.latimes.com/2012/sep/08/entertainment/la-et-mn-john-carter-director-20120908/2), and a Pixar film usually takes longer than just 3 years. I'm glad they aren't rushing it.
Muad'Dib 1,997 Posted September 19, 2013 Posted September 19, 2013 The Good Dinosaur was delayed because the Bob Peterson, the director, was fired. I don't think a replacement has been announced yet. But I imagine that's why it has been delayed.
Richard P 4,952 Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 Anyone else noticed that Pixar is apparently working on Cars 3?For the love of God, no. I lost interest in Cars 2 after 20 minutes.
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 11,276 Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 The kiddies love it!
Richard P 4,952 Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 It must make money, surprisingly.It makes shitloads, particularly in merchandising. That's not a reason to make another.
Quintus 5,914 Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 It must make money, surprisingly. It makes shitloads, particularly in merchandising. That's not a reason to make another.Hmm, you got me there Rich. Maybe they make them because they're being blackmailed by ruthless Brazilian kitchen workers.
Sharkissimo 1,976 Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 Uh, yeah it is.For the corporate fatcats, maybe.
Muad'Dib 1,997 Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 If Bird is back from Incredibles 2, I'm so in!
mrbellamy 7,623 Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 I'm with Michael on this, The Incredibles is the only Pixar film that actually merited a sequel so I'm surprised it took them this long. If Bird comes back, I have high hopes.
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 11,276 Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 But what will the moral lesson of this one be?
A24 4,924 Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 See, people demand sequels! Do not longer blame Hollywood, folks, it's the people (you) that want it! Hollywood is just supplying the need ... or did they create the need in the first place? Discuss! Alex
BloodBoal 7,545 Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 But what will the moral lesson of this one be?If they needed a moral lesson every time they wanted to do a sequel, they would never make one!
Wojo 2,458 Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 What was the moral lesson in The Empire Strikes Back that merited its place as a sequel? "If you don't listen to your mentor, you might lose a hand." Rich

When the characters and situations are interesting and the story follows naturally from earlier installments, they can be magic and a terrific use of the medium. The trouble often arises when certain financial imperatives come into play, particularly in Hollywood...Pixar's been hit-and-miss with that, but I think there's huge potential for a new Incredibles.

And who else does sequels if not Hollywood? I mean, THE PAINTED VEIL 2, L'AUBERGE ESPAGNOLE 5 and THERE WILL BE BLOOD: EVEN BLOODIER...where are they?
BloodBoal 7,545 Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 We did get two sequels to L'Auberge Espagnole, though.

The Apu trilogy? The Human Condition?I'm not discounting Sturgeon's law here. I'm aware that there are hundreds of shitty sequels for every good one and I'm not saying Incredibles 2 is bound to join the above films, but is it really unreasonable to hope that the company that made two wonderful, compelling Toy Story sequels could produce something of quality from a film that actually introduced the idea of a continuing story in its ending?
publicist 4,649 Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 Well, let me just say that if i had the power to ban sequels for the next 5 years i would do it and i would give a shit if that would kill a potential INCREDIBLES sequel. As it is, you will get your wish and i am sure that it will proudly stand alongside MONSTERS UNIVERSITY and CARS 4 or whatever junk they have in production right now.
mrbellamy 7,623 Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 I would probably take that deal, too. I'm just saying the form has been put to creative use in the past and there's no reason Pixar can't come up with something interesting again. If it blows, I'll find a way to carry on somehow
Jay 43,908 Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 First pic released for The Good Dinosaur Set to feature the voice talents of Lucas Neff, John Lithgow, Frances McDormand, Bill Hader and Neil Patrick Harris, The Good Dinosaur, directed by Pete Sohn, asks, “What would have happened if the cataclysmic asteroid that forever changed life on Earth actually missed the planet completely and giant dinosaurs never became extinct?” http://www.comingsoon.net/movies/news/395633-disneys-2015-preview-reveals-new-tomorrowland-and-the-good-dinosaur-images
BloodBoal 7,545 Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 The pic looks awful. Pixar are clearly not as good as they used to be.
BloodBoal 7,545 Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 No. It's taken directly from the film. They say so in the article.
KK 3,310 Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 No. It's taken directly from the film. They say so in the article.a still from Tomorrowland and a piece of concept art from The Good Dinosaur. ?
BloodBoal 7,545 Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 Clearly, you're drunk. Get back to us when you're sober, please.
Jay 43,908 Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 Brad Bird will write and direct Incredibles 2 for Pixarhttp://nerdist.com/writerdirector-brad-bird-officially-back-for-the-incredibles-2/No release date known yet; I'd guess it's probably about four years out.

Jay 43,908 Posted June 13, 2015 Posted June 13, 2015 Not only did the director of The Good Dinosaur change, the whole cast did too.
Richard P 4,952 Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 Not sure I like that poster.The film must have problems if they're recording all the dialogue again. A director change I guess isn't that unusual - Lasseter came on to try to save Cars 2.
