For those of you who may not know, Brad Bird is the amazing Director of The Incredibles. As I was surfing around last night I came across an interesting little interview with him on FilmFocus.Com.
In the interview they discussed the possibilities of a sequel to The Incredibles (man I hope they do one some day). Bird said he MIGHT consider it, IF they got the whole original team back to do it. This is where it got fun. Bird went on to say:
keeping the same team is crucial to a good sequel, as Brad explained as he talked about the possibility of Toy Story 3 being made without Pixar, “I wouldn’t even want to see Toy Story 3 without Pixar,” he said, “It’s kind-of like seeing Lord of The Rings 4 without Peter Jackson. Would you want to see that? Joe Schmo as Frodo or something? You want the original people who made the film. All of my favourite sequels were done by the original team.
Amen brother! Memo to Disney: It’s not too late to stop the madness. DO NOT do a Toy Story 3 without Pixar. Just let it go. You’ll only embarrass yourselves.
