The Incredibles 2 on the way?

March 5, 2007 / / 0 Comments

At the San Francisco WonderCom, Brad Bird told the audience: “I love the characters and I would love to return to that world, but I think at Pixar, the bottom line is the story that you’re telling. And Pixar does not look at sequels as a financial plan. We feel we have a relation ship with the audience and that they believe in each movie we put out. We believe completely in every movie we put out. If I can come up with a story that is as good or better than that first film, then I’d love to return to that world, but it would have to be story first.”

This is why I love Pixar. They really care about story, something which is lacking in a lot of today’s animation.
