I got back from Disney last week and was amazed at how much merchandise was Nemo's- not including the attractions & rides. I think Lion King was the main thing beating it.
Poor Remy didn't stand a chance
Really...? I didn't see too much if I remember correctly I remember seeing The Lion King and Brave ALL OVER the place.
I didn't remeber that much PIXAR stuff at all a couple of years ago, but Nemo basically had a store for each attraction. The coolest one was the Nemo ride that was attached to a very impressive aquarium attraction at Epcot.

I didn't realize I wanted a sequel to Nemo so badly until just now. I am typically against Pixar's sequels but I'll make an exception here.
And I was worried about Pixar until I saw Brave, and subsequently fell in love with it. All the haters to the left. It's one of the best movies they've done.

Eh, I actually don't hold the original Finding Nemo in great regard. I think it's because everyone effectively killed the movie for me by thinking it was the greatest movie ever when they were kids. I finally watched it and was completely underwhelmed. It's an okay film, but does it warrant a sequel? No. Not at all.

Ghibli is nothing without Miyasaki.

If Stanton says he has a good idea that everyone loves that's one thing, but it really saddens/disgusts me that Disney is essentially forcing FN2 to happen via carrot on a string to let Stanton do live action again.
It's not like life in the reef isn't ripe for more stories, after all, before Disney bought Pixar they were developing a Finding Nemo TV series, but that it came about THIS WAY is upsetting.
They've already said they want to do prequel shorts to UP about how Doug came to be part of the dog army, and there was a lot of content cut from UP involving dinosaurs, so I wouldn't doubt it.

Finding Nemo is my favorite movie of all time.
I am so conflicted about this news.

Cars 2
Toy Story 3 (a good movie albeit, from what I hear)
Brave
Monsters Inc 2
Finding Nemo 2
I hope they're not running out of gas here...

Incredibles 2 has to be made at this point by this logic

Pixar pls

Even if that's true (ignoring Takahata Isao) Miyazaki best work's owns every director that's ever been at Pixar including Brad Bird.

listen to the mad man
Anyone creative enough to come up with a great idea for Finding Nemo 2 is creative enough to come up with a great idea for a new film.
There are three new Pixar movies being made between Monsters Inc 2 and Finding Nemo 2, they aren't sequels.

They aren't forcing anything, he was given an option and accepted it. Pixar isn't the plucky underdog anymore, they are Disney. Stanton could have said no and it isn't like the people you perceive as "Disney" would have made Finding Nemo 2 regardless because "Disney" can't.
To all the people freaking out about Pixar making sequels, you should check out Toy Story 2 and 3, they're really good.

I found a man leaping hundreds of feet into the air and single-handedly fighting an army to be pretty exciting. The negative hyperbole surrounding this movie is crazy.

I liked Finding Nemo a lot, and for that very reason am wary about a sequel. I don't see what they can do without it feeling like some direct-to-video watered-down thing, but I guess we'll see.
Brad Bird needs to come back to Pixar. The Incredibles and Ratatouille were the studio's most all-around successful films.

While this may be true, for me Ghibli hasn't had anything close to an essential picture for more than a decade, a time period which has covered what I consider to be Pixar's greatest works.
However, this is wildly off the point.

Finding Nemo 2: This time with more losing and finding entertainment than ever before.

Fuckin ass, what the hell.
No more sequels. Cars, Monster's Inc (prequel) now goddamn Finding Nemo?
Finding Nemo really? Out of everything they could do?
It's the most self-contained story Pixar's ever done (though I haven't seen Ratatouille yet... maybe Up would count too), was anybody really clamoring for more Finding Nemo? I thought it was a great movie, but come on.

Ghibli is not exactly immune to the shitty sequel problem. (The Cat Returns, anyone?) Plus they've been on a downward trend for about ten years now.
No. Takahata is better than Miyazaki.

What are you basing this on?
Brad Bird, who is the only director Pixar or Disney will apparently let helm the sequel, won't come back until he does his dream project film. Whatever that was/is.

They need to change the name. Call it "Nemo: Subtitle" or have a new name entirely.
Finding Nemo 2 would be dumb and would be unnecessary to sell the movie. Unless it is somehow about Nemo getting lost again. But that'd be even more dumb.
I love Finding Nemo. <3

Bad wording. Internet reaction to announcements is a closer fit.
It makes absolutely no difference to them as an organisation, but it's just a bit of a downer.
IIRC, it was a live action film based around the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake. It was hyped as Pixar themselves branching out into live action a few years back, but Warner Bros. are doing it and the script appears to be progressing slowly.

I don't even think you need to do a direct sequel to The Incredibles. That was an interesting enough world, that I think that you use it as a setting to do some sort of send up to the Avengers in the way The Incredibles was a bit of an homage to the Fantastic Four/silver age.
EDIT: If Pixar wants to do a Marvel movie then I think an animated Runaways would be phenomenal.

I see from the wiki page that there's a planned Dia de la Muerte film...they may as well talk with Tim Schaffer about Grim Fandango, that would be an amazing movie.

I think Pixar's "downfall" has been overplayed. Cars 2 sucked but Brave was merely average. Toy Story 3 and UP were both great. Ratatouille and Wall-E first half hour were there last two amazing projects.
That movie gets a lot of hate, but I loved it. Of course I haven't seen it since I was 10.

Pixar already made Bug's Life 2. It's in the blooper reel of Toy Story 2 and it's the only sequel I'll ever accept.

Twitter's going absolutely crazy about Toy Story 4 being confirmed, but I can't find anything other than that offhand Tom Hanks comment that they were kicking about ideas last year.

Well, as long as projects like Brave still get made.
