It's interesting you should bring up Winnie the Pooh, because the coda at the end of "Many Adventures" where Christopher Robin discusses going to school had the exact same intention.

Christopher Robin was growing up, and wasn't going to "visit" with his pre-school imaginary friends as much, as he would now be getting real friends at school, and, it was implied would eventually stop visiting them altogether.

But of course, we've had loads of new Pooh, with and without Christopher Robin (which, in itself is pretty meaningless, being as Pooh and friends are only toys in Christoper Robin's bedroom, and only come alive in his imagination)

Ha. Logic. Who needs it?

It cheapens the characters, and in the eyes of the general public, if the sequel was bad, than their fond memories of the original movies were probably just because they were once kids. People get turned off seeing the original because of their experience with the sequel.

More on Disney's animation future, sequels to Pixar's films
In what appears to be an extended version of last week's article from the Orlando Sentinel, Magical Mountain has a bit more on Disney's new Glendale-based unit created for sequels to Pixar's films. According to the article, a proposed script Toy Story 3 was "so good" that it is getting serious consideration for Toy Story 4. In fact, around 40 screenwriters have pitched sequel ideas for Finding Nemo and Monsters, Inc. to Disney executives. Disney animation chief David Stainton declined to comment on the new studio's plans, instead speaking on Disney's core animation unit. Stainton comments, "The energy of the place has really improved." Additionally, studio chief Dick Cook states, "Our momentum is back. There's enthusiasm and commitment to regain our rightful place as the leader in animation."

If "supporting cheap sequels" means not foolishly thinking they'll "flop", then I guess I'm guilty as charged. I don't think a <i>Toy Story 3</i> should be made without Pixar, but I'd like to see a new sequel done right.

I don't see all the Buzz's who were already bought being recalled, but maybe the ones that weren't sold are shipped back. This way, Disney doesn't have to bring back any of the original cast besides Tim Allen, and they use a character who people know already. I don't like the plot, but I still think this is one direction they could go in if Tom Hanks doesn't want to come back.
