I'm not big on sequels; I've done them, but I like doing little things that have their own timelessness to them, classic type things, and then you go onto something new.

I don't know if I would do sequels. I almost feel like when I'm done with them, they're going to have to find their own way.

Sequels are not done for the audience or cinema or the filmmakers. It's for the distributor. The film becomes a brand.

I didn't really want to do another sequel. I go to those movies, and I just sort of enjoy them like a viewer.

My gut feeling about sequels is that they should be premeditated: You should try to write a trilogy first or at least sketch out a trilogy if you have any faith in your film.

It's always scary when you're doing a sequel to a film, because you don't want to just repeat the first film in a different location like most sequels. You want to do something totally different, and something that actually expands the world of the main character.

I think a sequel is a waste of money and time. I think movies should illuminate new stories.

I think you kind of need to acknowledge that the reason why sequels do well is because people that loved the first one come back.

I don't like sequels at all. If the movie's good the first time, why bother?

At Pixar, we do sequels only when we come up with a great idea, and we always strive to be different than the original.
