It's just a cashgrab, since Pixar made a shit ton of merchandising off the first movie. Frankly, though the Toy Story sequels have been good, I'm happy with Incredibles being a standalone.

OP: There's certainly been some negativity but I haven't seen much in the way of whining for the Incredibles m yself, just people wanting it, and I mean come on, it's a superhero movie, way too easy to make a sequel out of that sort of thing. But in terms of negativity- that's only to be expected I mean the Cars 2 trailer has certainly made some people worried, including those who were not before. (Though for myself I quite liked Mater in the trailer, even though at times he bugged me a bit in the original). But then considering the complaints related to the first cars- it's almost as if they are packing enough action for both the movies combined in this one. A part of me almost wonders if this was the result of some of those complaints.

To anon above: People talk about the cash, and yes obviously Cars is a major merchandise area, but let's face it PIXAR (and Disney) is and are a company/companies, a company folks, of course they'll be wanting that sort of thing. Making money is the game, and they get that by making movies and characters people love. Certainly I do not love every single Pixar but a lot of people do and I can't say I think any Pixar movie is an absolute dung pile even if I'm not keen on every single one.

I do think it's probably a money thing. I mean duh. I'm sure they enjoy making movies but it's not entirely out of the 'goodness of their hearts' or some gift they're providing. No, it's technically a product and if they weren't in high enough demand they wouldn't still be around.

I'm a bit concerned about this sequel and also the monsters inc one, while the TS sequels were good, those are the only franchise in terms of sequels they've produced so far. It doesn't necessarily mean this will be good and early reviews have been unfavourable.

But I'm going to give it a chance anyway even if some of the trailer leaves me a bit apprehensive. Heck I quite liked the first one (albeit some of my world building nerd nerves taking a hit) and it's possible it might turn out okay.

I'm a bit concerned about the villian though honestly from what I've heard.

Pixar/Disney has made 5 billion dollars off of Cars merchandising. I think that at least deserves one sequel.

And yeah, I'd love an Incredibles sequel too, but ONLY if Brad Bird is involved in it. I don't want a sucky Incredibles sequel!

[identity profile] mentalguru.livejournal.com 2011-02-19 10:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Even if a sequel is for the money it doesn't mean it will necessarily suck in any case.

Nor a new director IMO will make something suck. I mean Monsters Inc is getting a new director, and hopefully that will be a good thing (remains to be said- rumours of a prequel are not something I'm enthusiastic over). There's both good and bad things to getting a new director though- such as say with TS3, which was very different in tone to some of the others even though it recycled some elements at the same time from TS2. Even though it's my least favourite TS (I'm in the minority there), it had a different director and was a good movie. Who knows, fresh meat or one of the other old timers might actually have a good crack at a sequel even without being the big cheese in the original.

Honestly though I'm more excited for Kung Fu Panda 2 than Cars 2 even though I'll watch it too, even though dreamworks as a less than stellar record with sequels.

Considering how Dreamworks is planning (or was at the end of last year--I'm *really* hoping they decided not to do this) SIX "Kung Fu Panda" movies, I'm not putting much hope into any of them.

I agree. I don't really want an Incredibles sequel. I think it's just fine as it is.
