i've read about a few movies that are in production.

1. Ratatouille-which comes out in a couple of months
2. Wall.E- does anybody know any info on this one? i know it has to do with a robot
3. Toy Story 3-last thing i heard was that it wasn't going to be the story of Buzz being recalled, but that there was a possinility that it was going to be that Andy is getting too old and gives away his toys. has this been confirmed?
4. John Carter of Mars-what is this about? i hread somewhere that is was an adaptation of a series of books. i'm not to keen in watching this one. not yet atleast

sequels?

are there going to be any sequels for past hits like The Incredibles or Monsters Inc?

plus i'm very excited to see the pixar shorts get DVD treatment al on their own. can't wait for the release

Nope, nothings been confirmed. The Buzz recall story, was Disney's original idea when they were going to fly solo. And the Andy is to old story, was Pixar's original idea.

Last I heard, Pixar is avoiding Disney's story all together. So who knows, what the story will be.

I doubt it. Lasseter has said, he doesn't like the idea of sequels, because their undeed. I'm surprised, were even getting TS3. :P

That would be sad...if Andy gave them away...that would like completely blow the whole point of the first two movies away...well kinda..

The Pixar one that interest me the most is of course Toy Story 3 and Wall.E

I'm excited about Wall.E and Toy Story 3. I might of been interested in Ratatouille if Dreamworks hadn't done a disappointing rat film a few months ago.

i still want to see Ratatouille. Pixar has not disappointed me yet. so i'm pretty sure this one will be good too. especially since i had read somewhere that the director will be the same one from Finding Nemo

I think that you meant to say The Incredibles.

I am excited for these projects as well. Still, I liked it better when there were movies coming out every other year or every other other year. I mean if they have a project to work on, they should work on it, but I don't think that it should be forced for a certain date. I mean if I was making a movie and needed like 7 years, and whoever only gave me 4, then everything from script to production and so forth would all be squished together and I don't like squishy things. Thats why I don't where squishy pants, that and the fact that whenever you walk some freaky noise is produced that sounds like a bodily function.

I cannot wait for Ratatouille and Toy Story 3. WALL E sound pretty interesting too. Pixar has not made a single bad film yet.

PIxar is a good cinema studio.
They have greats films like Monsters Inc. and Incredibles....
But I prefer Disney because their films are more magic

well if you're talking about the old disney movies then i agree. but if you compare the disney films from now-a-days to pixar, oixar is a whole lot better. even though snow white, aladdin, the lion king and other great disney classics are better

Yes, I'm talking about disney great classics, not about chicken little, brother bear, home on the range and company.

But I prefer Aladdín, Cinderella, Peter Pan, Lady and the tramp, Pocahontas.....etc than Pixar movies

First, I haven't heard anything offical about John Carter of Mars being Pixar. I heard Disney was buying the rights, but nothing about Pixar's invovelment with it. As for any sequels, I would really love to see another Incredibles film, and that's it, I can't really see the idea of another Monsters, Inc. or Finding Nemo being any good (storywise). But I've also heard that after Ratatouille, Brad Bird is doing a live action film, imdb lists a film called "1906" as his next film, but I haven't heard anything, I really hope that he directs the next Superman movie (since Bryan Singer was a huge mistake for the series), even though The Incredibles was mostly aimed at films like Superman and such (which makes him even more qualified- look at Andrew Adamson and Narnia).

They're just now suing? The character has been around since '86. This is laaaaaaaame. Here's to hoping that Pixar wins.
