Pixar Chief Explains What They Want Out of Sequels

As a seasoned gamer with a heart for animated films, especially those from Pixar, I can’t help but feel a rush of excitement upon hearing about The Incredibles 3! Having grown up watching the first two movies, their blend of action, humor, and heart has left an indelible mark on my gaming life.


Pixar’s top creative officer, Pete Docter, shared insights on how they approach sequels with Fandango. When developing a new sequel, Pixar strives to ensure that the storyline feels like it naturally fits within the universe established in the original movie. Essentially, a good sequel should build upon the initial concept in an unexpected or fresh manner to captivate audiences. You can find more of Docter’s thoughts on selecting the right projects here below.

Doctor clarified, “We’re combining elements because our focus is on what the audience will respond to, not our personal preferences. However, if a concept doesn’t seem fresh and significant, we’ll abandon it. It’s crucial that whatever we create feels like it’s moving the story forward.”

“He added, ‘There were aspects we didn’t delve into during the initial discussion – perhaps some profound insights about the human condition or personal life experiences we haven’t yet touched upon.'”

The Incredibles 3 Has Finally Been Announced

With Pixar continuing to thrive with sequels, it’s only fitting that they announce another one – this time, The Incredibles 3. At the recent D23 event, Disney unveiled some details about this highly-anticipated film. Fans are eager to see the family return to action, but the plot remains a mystery. During an interview with Fandango, Director Docter hinted at what we can expect from Brad Bird’s next installation in the series. For him, it’s all about creating a powerful emotional moment that resonates deeply. So get ready for a story that will tug at your heartstrings!

As a gamer, I can vouch for Brad Bird being an exceptional collaborator. He’s got this incredible spark and enthusiasm that just ignites the room. Every artist has their own unique approach, but with Brad, it takes a bit more time for him to really rev up his creative engine. Right now, I feel like we’re reaching that point where all the pieces are starting to fall into place. As for what we’re working on, we’re keeping things under wraps for now as the story is still taking shape and evolving.

As a gamer, I’d say, “Brad’s movies, like the one called Ratatouille, might seem at first glance as a delightful tale about a rodent with a culinary dream. However, upon closer inspection, it’s more than just a fun adventure. It’s about the struggle between passion and opportunity. It’s asking, ‘What does it take to make that dream a reality?’ That’s what initially drew me to his work – those deep-seated sociological themes.”
