The fact that Jim Morris has no intention of doing this speaks volumes, and is a true testament to the way Pixar have handled their business over the past two decades. Reboots and sequels and spin-offs are hot property in Hollywood at present - despite the mixed reaction from viewers and fans - and it would be easy to capitalize on the success of WALL-E, which banked a handsome $521.3 million at the box-office. The film itself is certainly worthy of multiple rewatches, but in an age where money is power, and power is king, it's nice to see an original film being treated with some respect, and left to prosper in its own greatness. But that was really a love story that had its beginning, middle, and end, so we're not really planning any further stories in those worlds at this point.' It would be good to go back and visit that world and let everybody know that the humans actually survived again after getting back to their burnt-out planet. And WALL-E is close to my heart since I produced it. Brad Bird, being the director of Ratatouille, is working on The Incredibles and we haven't really spoken about that. 'Pete Docter has an original idea for his next film. It's this legendary status and track record that has left some fans somewhat stunned with the reveal of their most recent announcement where many popular franchises will see sequels in the future, WALL-E is not one of them. With Toy Story on their books, one of the most financially successful trilogies of all time, and several sequels currently in the works, the studio know a little about success. With this mindset, many expect a sequel to nearly any film that starts a ripple at the box-office, and Pixar Animated Studios know about this more than anyone. Many franchises have strived and benefitted from this technique, while others have failed miserably.

With the money rolling in, and success imminent, studios will always flock to get a second instalment made, to capitalize on the attention, and although this enthusiasm generates anticipation in the paying fans and viewers alike, it isn't always the best route of action. In Hollywood, one thing is almost certain - a successful film will always receive a sequel.
