You don’t tug on Superman’s cape, you don’t spit into the wind, and you don’t make a sequel to an awesome movie with a perfect ending.
I love “Finding Nemo” The whole family does. It is one of Pixar’s best (second only to “The Incredibles”) and abolutely one of my favorite movies of the last 10 years. It is touching, funny, scary, and wonderful. And as a Dad, the ending is as perfect an ending as you will find other than “Field of Dreams.” I have seen it ten times and every time I do I get dust in my eyes.
So, what are these people thinking?
There is a report out that Pixar is planning a sequel. Please, please tell me this isn’t so.
I can hear some of you now. Toy Story 3 is a sequel and it is an excellent movie. Ok. That is the exception, not the rule. Wanna know what the rule is? Cars 2. That’s the rule.
I think there is like a 1% chance here that we end up with a Godfather Part II or a Toy Story 3. A 28% chance that we end up with a Highlander II. And a 71% Chance that we end up with a “Look Who’s Talking Too!”
Please Pixar, don’t take this chance. Don’t grind Nemo.

You think Finding Nemo was better than every one of the Toy Story films and Up?

Since you read CMR, you obviously have no taste and so your judgment is disqualified!

They are only considering doing Finding Nemo 2 because Ellen DeGeneres wants them to do it so she can voice Dory again, and they (the Disney Company) want Ellen's continued support for other projects so this seems like what they have to do to keep her happy and involved. But I don't want another Finding Nemo….
Finding Nemo and The Incredibles are my favorites, too.

Dear Pixar,
ENOUGH WITH THE SEQUELS ALREADY! Just because you're owned by Disney now doesn't mean you have to make movies 'a la Disney–run a story into the ground until consumer's no longer recognize the original story or idea.
ARGH!

Maybe it will be called "Finding Private Nemo" and kind of fish-war mashup.

Walt Disney himself hated doing sequels.

But I still want "The Incredibles 2"… !
