whoot Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Reading some of the comments around the interwebs on Finding Nemo 2, I'm starting to be convinced that "Pixar" itself is not the one to be blamed for this, but Andrew Stanton mostly. Of course Disney will greenlight the sequel to Pixar's highest grossing original film. It was only a matter of the director giving his blessing for it. It's sounding like Stanton wants to prove he can direct a blockbuster to be given another shot at live-action. This is now who is in charge of Pixar as he is one of those listed as Executive Producer all the time (along with Lasseter and Docter). It's all up to you now, Pete.

whoot Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Why? You don't care about YOUR environment?When I watch movies, I want to be entertained, not preached to. I think WALL-E did a great job of putting the consumerism message in the background, and yet there was still some backlash from some people for it being too preachy; so I can only imagine if Finding Nemo 2 became Happy Feetish how much worse the backlash could get (and if it's like Happy Feet in the heavy handedness, I'll join in that backlash).Plus, I'm tired of all the dystopian settings in most of the popular stories coming out nowadays. I'd rather some real escapism, especially from Finding Nemo, which to me was one of the best light-hearted epic journeys ever done. It'd be a shame to see a sequel change the tone that made the first so great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryan Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Stanton made Wall-E which makes him a geniusSo I have faith in Nemo 2Wonder know how Ellen took the news, she has always been wondering to be part of a sequel to that film Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 It did open with the violent murder of a mother and her children 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lab276 Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Yeah, I've never thought of FN as light-hearted, even when I was a kid. There's this sadness to it when he loses Nemo and I couldn't quite get on board with all the fun wacky things they do on the way to Sydney.

whoot Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Well aside from the murder of the mother and the obvious animal abuse by the niece, it's pretty light hearted. ;)Seriously though, I wouldn't count it as dystopian or anything, which is what I really meant. It showed the beauty of the ocean without showing how much peril it really is in. I think just creating a movie like that will provide awareness for the environment anyway because of all the obligatory features on the movie that will come.And also, I do have faith in Stanton in creating a good sequel since this movie is his baby. I was commenting on if it became "political" - which I would hate; and which I seriously doubt Stanton would do.I would just rather Stanton work on another original film because there's got to be more in that genius brain of his and I'm interested in what else he can create. Just to prove he can do live-action blockbusters is not a good reason to all of a sudden do a sequel to FN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilmac Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Yeah, "don't believe everything you read because we shouldn't have leaked it this early so please stop talking about it."Is Chapman still there?
