Following the release of Finding Dory, the animation impresarios over at Pixar have vowed to release more original films going forward.
In its early days, the vaunted studio was averse to churning out sequels, opting to release original material rather than rehash past glories. Still, filmmaking is a fickle business, and sequels do big business at the box office - eventually something had to give. Luckily for us, Pixar didn't take the easy route, only committing to creating sequels when they felt they had an idea worth exploring, creating some of their best films in the process.
As good as these sequels are, however, many yearned for a return to the glory days when the studio was putting out film after original film and was one of the most potent creative forces in the modern blockbuster space. Thankfully, Pixar's current company president, Jim Morris, feels the same way and has promised that there are many more originals films in the pipeline.
Before that we'll be seeing a few more sequels, including the much anticipated follow-up to Brad Bird's The Incredibles (still the best comic book movie ever made). Once they're in the can, however, the studio will focus entirely on new releases.
Finding Dory swims into UK cinemas on July 29, while Coco is due to arrive this December.
