Please, Disney/Pixar -- No More Toy Storys

You need to quit while you're a head.

But look who I'm talking to. Disney… They see money and they'll do anything to get to it regardless of reputation.

Tom Hanks is currently promoting his new movie Larry Crowne with Julia Roberts. While being interviewed, he said that he thinks a fourth Toy Story is coming and they're working on it now.

I thought the 3rd one was going to be the last one, Disney? Even the toys seemed to think it was over. They were (spoiler alert) past on to a new owner and left Andy. Audiences were sad to see it end. It was a bittersweet ending and it was perfect. We've excepted that Toy Story was concluded, but now you're saying you want to make another? Ugh.

Where is Pixar in this? I was under the impression that Pixar was against sequels, but now all of a sudden they seem to be loving them.

Disney/Pixar movies are known to be the best in animation. At least that's what I think. They all have original and solid stories and do extremely well at the box office. Every single Pixar film has been nominated for an Academy Award (only 8 were nominated for Best Animated Feature because that category was added in 2004, they won 6; 2 Pixar films were nominated for Best Picture).

Toy Story, A Bug's Life, Monsters Inc., Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, Cars, WALL-E, Ratatouille, and Up are all the original works of Pixar. Each year, Pixar puts out one film. This year Cars 2 came out. Next year, Pixar will be putting out another original called Brave about a Scottish warrior. Then Pixar will be putting out a prequel to Monsters, Inc. entitled Monster University, as said, another Toy Story, and they're throwing around the idea of an Incredibles sequel. Personally, I didn't care for Cars. It's my least favorite and it had little potential - story-wise - for a sequel. I always thought that The Incredibles would have successful sequels. The first movie even sets up for one.

I'm getting off track. Regardless, Pixar puts out great movie. I trust them to do amazing sequels like the Toy Story's. I just don't want that to be their thing. Sequels can only go so far before they become old. One of the reasons that Toy Story 3 did so well was because there was a 11 year gap between 2 and 3.

Disney needs to stop focusing on the merchandising aspect and thinking with their wallets. I understand that's how business works. But eventually, things get old and over done. I don't believe Toy Story is that way since Toy Story is forever, but Toy Story had an amazing conclusion and should be left alone. If they do choose to continue, it needs to be done tastefully.

Thanks for reading my ramblings. :)
