Sequel to 'The Incredibles' Announced! (And to a Lesser Extent, Cars 3)

[soren7550]

Walt Disney Company chief Bob Iger said Tuesday that Pixar plans to produce a third installment of its "Cars" franchise, and a sequel for "The Incredibles."

The executive made the announcement during the company's shareholders meeting in Portland, Ore., providing few other details.

The news was also made through the official Disney/Pixar Twitter (here [https://twitter.com/DisneyPixar/status/445989767986315264]), as well as on The Incredibles Facebook page.

Brad Bird is set to return to the director's chair for The Incredibles 2, but you probably shouldn't get too excited. No release windows have been announced, and with Inside Out and The Good Dinosaur coming out in 2015, and Finding Dory in 2016, the best we can probably look forward to is a 2017 release.

But there's always that 3D re-release of the first film, right?

Discuss.

Couldn't really care less about Cars, but it's nice to hear the Incredibles will get a sequel, it's always felt like one of the few Pixar movies that would fit to have one (unlike Finding Nemo, or Monsters Inc *cough*).

No. Just, stop it Pixar. This is getting old. There was once a time when you actually made new movies, not just fucking cash ins. Since Toy Story 3 though, you seem convinced no one wants something other than sequels. And a Cars sequel? Again? I know the merchandise sells well, but is it really worth it? What the hell man? God dammit.

While I always wanted an Incredibles 2, I would be more excited if Pixar hasn't already been making sequel after sequel lately.

Now I just want them to go back and make something new... that isn't mediocre like Brave.

Oh, and Cars 3... I guess that's a thing, too.

Never watched Cars or Cars 2, so Cars 3 I similarly couldn't care less about.

However, a sequel to The Incredibles I have been wanting for a very long time. It ended on such a blatant sequel hook that it always felt a shame that it was never followed up with another movie (until now, of course). I realise there was a tie-in game that technically carried the story on from that hook, but that ain't the same.

I do really want to see what their new original movies are like, though. There's been a lot of sequels from Pixar recently, and ever since knocking it out of the park with WALL-E and Up, their original IPs have felt a bit lacking. Here's hoping they pick their game up a bit.

I won't deny I feel very weary whenever I hear stuff like this but I won't deny that Brad Bird is a very talented guy and there's no reason for him to not make a good sequel to The Incredibles.

Fuck Cars though.

Anyone wondering why Pixar seems to have fallen away from its stellar track record of new and original films need only look at their partnership with Disney.

You mean the partnership they've had with Disney since the time they first started making major motion pictures? Not sure how that argument makes sense when I put it that way...

On topic!

I'm honestly goin to have to go with a resounding meh. Pixar hasn't really been all that stellar lately, not terrible obviously, but nothin like their older work. Brave was incredibly paint by numbers and while I had such hopelessly low expectations for Monsters University that it was pretty much impossible not to exceed the, it was still only okay. Plus there's the whole Cars thing that I know is just because they need money, but they could at least try a little harder to not make it such an obvious cash grab.

Maybe they'll surprise me and they'll get back to outstanding movies again, but I honestly wont hold my breath.

Hmmm a sequel to The Incredibles is something interesting. But I wonder, the first one was about superheroes winning back the society that hated and feared them. So what will this sequel bring to make it worthwhile? I mean, I did like the first one but only because of the supers fall from grace.

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

Incredibles 2 I've been waiting for for years. I love The Incredibles, and I generally hate all superhero movies.

Cars 3 is laughable at this point. Giving the limelight in Cars 2 to the background character voiced by Larry the Cable Guy in a silly spy movie setting was desperate enough of a grab at a new story, and now they want to go further. I really don't know what they're going to pull this time now that McQueen and Mator's stories are done. A humongous rip off on Speed Racer would be actually worth watching.

Good point, I never thought of that. Since the second movie should pick up immediately after the fight with Syndrome, and there's little chance for any problems to develop in between it, I'm going to go for it being primarily a flashback of past heroes, or some sort. I'd be fine with that, I prefer it to rehasing the same bit of family arguing we've seen in The Incredibles.

I doubt Brad Bird would just copy and paste the family conflict into the sequel, I have too much hope in him to make a letdown of a sequel, at least in that respect.

Hated the Incredibles

But seriously though, this is one sequel I am extremely excited for even with all the Cars and Planes bullshit.

If ever there was a movie that begged for sequels, it was The Incredibles.

 

[Signa]

Well, The Incredibles is my favorite movie ever, so a sequel sounds good in theory, but the last thing I want to have happen is have it turn out like the Star Wars prequels did, where it practically invalidated the whole series. Hearing that Brad Bird is still on it gives me a lot of hope though.

Hated the Incredibles, but strangely optimistic for the sequel. As long as they remove long boring ass scenes with fashion designers, riveting scenes where he goes to sell insurance and then comes home and eats dinner with his family, and the bad guy from the mid-movie action scene being re-used, and defeated, the same way, then it might actually be good.

More action and superpowers is all it needs.

'The hell's wrong with you!? Those are the best parts!

Overly aggressive tone aside, it's those very scenes for me that set TI apart from the rest of the super hero movies and any movie for me really. It sets a tone, the story, and the pacing all in a few dreary scenes. Without them, or a conscious effort to "jazz" them up would have damaged the overall package the movie was presented in.

On the subject of Pixar not creating anymore new IP's, I am fine with that. I like the current ones (Cars is, at worst, an okay IP. The main appeal there was for children and it was a run of the mill "Jerk to Hero" narrative but hey the world is at least interesting and makes the automotive industry basically a huge brothel)

I enjoy the Incredibles, and Finding Nemo, and Toy Story to the point of tears of joy at the announcement of a sequel.

New IP's are awesome, but only until you find out that they suck. I am good with getting a sequel more often than a new IP, because an IP will be a bigger risk, which means the company will put a lot more effort in to it.

But the main question is, will Frozone be in it?

The ONE Pixar sequel I've actually been WAITING for! Sweet.

Finding Nemo is getting a sequel? ugh


i hope Pixar goes back to its former fastastic self for this movie, altough i admit i didnt like the indredibles all that much, i feel it was a bit too violent for a Pixar movie, also am i the only one who feels unconfortable, watching Mr Incredible kill a bunch of syndrome's goons right after he said he couldnt kill people?

To me, those scenes, especially, reminded me of reading a comic book in some way... Then again, that's basically how I kept praising describing The Incredibles every time I watch it overall...

OT: I've been seeing what you're doing, Pixar... You release a sequel to a movie that, to us veiwers, would not have dreamed about having (to a certain extend) and said sequel makes that gap between the two (or three) movies all that more satisfying... Too bad the Cars movies have yet to do that for most people so far...

But, hey... We both put you on a pedestal of making "CGI gold" movies with a hint of silver, so we both forgot that you can make bronze or, dare I say, "bad" Pixar movies right after the first Cars came out and was soon announced of getting a sequel, which I would give it credit for having more car-related puns and references...

Nonetheless, I shall await the sequel to The Incredibles with little to no expectations so that I can be blown away one way or another... (I can't say the same for the third Cars movie, though... No offense, Pixar...)

More than that, The Incredibles had great family tension. They didn't start out as this superhero family unit, they had to grow toward it over the course of the movie. Most of the drama came from them not always getting along and trying to figure themselves out. By the end of the movie their arcs are complete. Bob's definitely is.

Dash and Violet might have some room to grow, and watching them in the first film always made me want to see in what other ways their powers would develop, like, 10 years down the line. But with both the tension in the family as well as in society being cleared up, I don't see this sequel doing much more than provide the same type of superhero shenanigans from the opening and epiloge of the first movie. Which is nice in and of itself, but nothing too gripping.

But still, Brad Bird is directing it, and he has yet to let me down.

I really hoping that the The Incredibles sequel will be good since other than the Toy Story sequel, their sequel and prequel has been bad (well ok Monster University was ok but not excellent).

 

[Olas]

I fucking loved the Incredibles. I think it's arguably the best super hero movie ever, seriously. But I don't think it's necessarily a good thing for it to have a sequel. Just because the first one was open ended doesn't mean that world is an ideal place to tell another story. A part of me is worried the reputation of the first will be tarnished if it's bad, as often happens with movies that have tacked on sequels. The story in the first one was like a perfect jem, and it doesn't feel (to me) like it needs anything more.

Of course I could be wrong, there could be a great story still buried in there I haven't conceived of, and these are the guys who made the Toy Story sequels so who knows.

Now what's with these Cars sequels? I don't think I've ever heard a single person say they like the Cars movies. Ya, I know, merchandise. Because apparently weird sentient quasi-anthropomorphic automobiles make better action figures than superheroes, animals, and monsters. Ugh, children ruin everything.

If Finding Dori ends up not being an underwater version of Memento I will be very disappointed.
