Pixar Sequels

Toy Story has spawned two sequels. And shorts. And attractions at Disneland. Also lots and lots of toys. But it has a close rival.

... While we have yet to hear any rumblings of a Cars 3, Disney does continue to make short films in the franchise and three new Tales From Radiator Springs have just been released. ...

... and of course it's this:



Many people blather on about the Toy Story franchise, the Shrek franchise, and the Ice Age franchise.

But the taco stand to rival them all is the Cars money machine. There are movies, and shorts, and toys.

Genius. Solid genius.
