Pixar Studios has decided to change their film strategy and will now predominantly bring sequels and reboots to the screens. So, goodbye new stories, hello Toy Story 100.
Pixar has come up with the brilliant idea to regain financial prominence by predominantly focusing on sequels to their old classics. So, we'll see fewer new, imaginative stories from their talented writers, but rather numerous sequels like the Star Wars saga.
In this undertaking, they have particularly hinted at famous Pixar films like Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, and Toy Story. And yes, each subsequent Toy Story installment might bring in money, but none will match the first. While Dory's perspective in the Finding Nemo sequel was somewhat fascinating, what more can they possibly tell there? Hopefully not, that Nemo has run away again.
Pixar's Plans For The Future
In light of the underwhelming reception and financial performance of recent films like "Lightyear" and "Elemental," Pixar President Jim Morris has proposed a new direction for the company. The idea is to put aside new film ideas for now and instead exploit the old classics until there's nothing left to explore.
The president plans to release three movies every two years, with every second project being a sequel or spin-off. Fortunately, the remaining projects will continue to be "standalone concepts or potential seeds for new franchises." So, we can hopefully still anticipate some good, new movies.
The studio specifically aims to build upon the three unforgettable film series Finding Nemo, Toy Story, and The Incredibles. They see great potential in these franchises and believe they deserve a sequel or a reboot.
And yes, Pixar is absolutely right that these films are legendary and have likely brought in a lot of money. But do they really need a sequel? Especially Toy Story, which is already set for a fifth installment, seems well-equipped. After all, no sequel ever quite captures the magic of the original!
So please, Pixar, reconsider your strategy and focus on creating new films that contain as much charm as the old classics! Sure, background stories of characters in the classics would be nice, but we don't need full-fledged sequels for that. Short films would suffice!
