Yanko 9,860 Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Disney-owned animation studio Pixar is to produce a sequel to the Oscar-winning animation The Incredibles, more than a decade after Brad Bird's hugely popular tale of a family of retired superheroes first hit cinemas. The new instalment was announced yesterday by Walt Disney's Bob Iger at a briefing for shareholders in Portland, Oregon. Iger also said Pixar would work on a second sequel to 2006's Cars. The Incredibles is set in a world in which superheroes exist but have been banned from crime fighting. Mr Incredible (voiced by Craig T Nelson) has been living incognito as plain old Bob Parr when a mysterious offer gives him the chance to return to action. Soon he and his wife Helen (nee Elastigirl), along with their three children (who are developing superpowers of their own), are caught up in a not entirely welcome new adventure. Bird followed up The Incredibles, his first Pixar film, with 2007's Ratatouille, winning the Oscar for best animation for both films. They are considered highlights from a golden era of animation, between Finding Nemo in 2003 and Toy Story 3 in 2010, in which Pixar won the prize a remarkable six times. By contrast, the Cars series is considered the weakest in the Pixar canon. The first film picked up an Oscar nomination in a poor year for animated fare (George Miller's Happy Feet carried off the top prize). But Cars 2, released in 2010, was considered a major disappointment; it currently holds a rating of 39% "rotten" on the review-aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes. Walt Disney may have been inspired to work on a new film by the considerable merchandising opportunities. Toys based on the Cars characters have brought in billions of dollars, according to the LA Times, while the Cars Land attraction at Disney's California Adventure theme park, in Anaheim, has proven equally popular. The film series has even spawned a spin-off, last year's 3D film Planes, which was released under the Disney banner. A sequel, Planes: Fire and Rescue comes out this summer. Pixar is not averse to producing sequels to its best-known films. As well as successful fare such as Toy Story 2 and 3, it put out the middling Monsters University prequel in 2013 and its Finding Nemo follow-up, Finding Dory, is set to arrive in 2016. http://www.theguardian.com/film/2014/mar/19/disney-pixar-the-incredibles-cars-sequels Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
