Well, if you were waiting for a sequel to 'WALL-E,' 'Ratatouille' or 'Inside Out,' then it's time to pop the bubble as it is not happening anytime soon.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Pixar president Jim Morris revealed that the animation studio will not be focusing on the sequels forevermore.
He said, "Most studios jump on doing a sequel as soon as they have a successful film, but our business model is a filmmaker model, and we don't make a sequel unless the director of the original film has an idea that they like and are willing to go forward on."
"Pete Docter (Up, Inside Out) has an original idea for his next film. Brad Bird, being the director of Ratatouille, is working on The Incredibles and we haven't really spoken about [a sequel to] that. And WALL-E is close to my heart. but that was really a love story that had its beginning, middle, and end, so we're not really planning any further stories in those worlds at this point, " Morris added.
Morris went on to highlight the difficulties the studio faces when returning to a successful property.
"A sequel in some regards is ever harder," he continued. :...You've got this defined world which, on the one hand, is a leg up, and on the other hand has expectations that you can't dissapoint on," he noted.
Beyond the 'Finding Nemo' sequel, Pixar will release 'Cars 3' (2017), 'Toy Story 4' (2018) and 'The Incredibles 2' (2019).
