Sigh. So the golden era of Pixar ended with Up and Toy Story 3 (the only series that warranted sequels) and now we have Cars 2, Monsters 2, Nemo 2.

I guess Pixar looked at Dreamworks and said "I guess it is easier to just make a sequel than coming up with more original ideas". It is a shame, but least we had that glorious period of creativity from them where every next film seemed distinct.

There is nothing wrong with sequels, especially when they are done by Pixar.

OT: 2015? I could be dead by then! That's too far.

I admire Pixar for exciting me with new ideas and pushing themselves and not giving into Disney's direct to video pressure and rewriting and saving Toy Story 2.  it was an attitude of doing things the hard way for the sake of better film making.  I consider them on par with Ghibli in respect to their craft.

The issue with sequels is "why?" as Pixar films tend to have a message, a theme and memorable visuals and characters.  I hope I am wrong, but in an animated field in the west littered with meidocrity I'd hate to see Pixar descend into it.
