I have made numerous comments about this but the more mediocre movies that are released under the Pixar name, the fewer people who will attend future movies eventually destroying the brand name,,, Pixar equaled quality 5 years ago, now it's just another company that releases computer animated films...

Originally Posted By WilliamK99 They don't sound like "just another company that releases computer animated films<< Brave, Cars 2 and Monsters U tell a different story, don't be surprised if the box office for those upcoming movies disappoint as the Pixar name becomes more diluted.

To cross promote another Cars film to the theme park counter part, and vice versa. But if I see them going after one more Toy Story film, Monsters Inc, Nemo .. I'm going to scream at the top of my lungs! Seems Disney execs have one thing in mind - Just endlessly REPEAT themselves, add nauseum ! Can I say - STAR-cough-cough-Wars?!
Originally Posted By DyGDisney I have seen Monsters University and you all may be pleasantly surprised. I really enjoyed it and so did everyone I know who has seen it.

Great to hear. For me, I really don't mind sequels too much. I get attached to the characters, so it's fun getting to see a different story with favorite characters. And Monsters Inc is one of my favorite Pixar movies, looking forward to the new movie!

Originally Posted By FerretAfros ^^That would be pretty tough to do, since this movie takes place before the first one. I feel like that helps keep them from doing anything too crazy and out of character, but the whole 'college' setting does give them some leeway. I've also heard positive reviews from a friend, so I'm not as fearful as I was, but I'm hardly looking forward to it
Originally Posted By DyGDisney Exactly. Well what I meant was I'm glad they made a "prequel" vs. a "sequel".

Originally Posted By CuriousConstance From that article: "But Chang’s sentence captures exactly how I feel about Monsters University, which takes place before Monsters Inc., when Mike and Sulley meet in college, and shows how they become friends. But that’s not what the movie is about at all. The movie is surprising and ambitious. And it goes, thematically, where no film before it about goals and dreams ever has. Watching it is like taking a refreshing swig out of a bottle of soda that they only make in your home town. It feels like a true story: true to the first film, true to real life, even though real life is sometimes brutal and painful. This movie goes there and finds the silver lining." Awwwwwwww
