Pixar not planning sequels to WALL-E, Ratatouille or Inside Out

President Jim Morris states the studio's run of sequels will end with The Incredibles 2

Pixar's latest film Finding Dory has kickstarted a run of sequels that will see the animation studio revisit the universe of Toy Story, The Incredibles and Cars.

President Jim Morris has assured cinemagoers that it wont be focusing on sequels forevermore, however, specifically quashing a potential sequel to 2008 favourite WALL-E.

"It would be good to back and visit that world and let everybody know that the humans actually survived again after getting back to their burnt-out planet. 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."

Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Morris 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.”

He 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."

Beyond the Finding Nemo sequel - which earned a recordbreaking opening in the States last month - Pixar will release Cars 3 (2017), Toy Story 4 (2018) and The Incredibles 2 (2019), the first of which came out in 2004.

Original film Coco, from Toy Story 3 director Lee Unkrich, will be released in 2017.
