Before the snark gets too thick, let's remember that cartoon companies -- even ones founded by Steve Jobs -- are a long way from being Florentine art studios. They're in business to make money, the more the better. And the more money they make, the more people get employed.
So sequels? Hell, yeah! Shorts? Television spin-offs? F*ck yeah!
