He doesn't have a clue which films have been the most successful for DreamWorks, doesn't seem to realize how HtTYD is doing compared to those movies, cites made up/inaccurate statistics (such as how well animated sequels perform), and ignores KFP and Shrek 2 as 'critical and commercial' breakthroughs. <br /><br />His biggest gaffe is suggesting there is a 'taint' to sequels, and that Pixar is above such things. So far the only film Pixar seems to have 'laid to rest' from possible sequels is Bug's Life. He conveniently ignores the that most of their slate in the immediate future is nothing but sequels, and his suggestion that there will never be sequels to Wall-E, Ratatouille, or Up is pure speculation (and doubtful speculation, since that's just what Pixar once claimed about Monsters, Nemo, Cars, and Toy Story).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22906998.post-14034329943913094442010-04-30T09:27:39.381-07:002010-04-30T09:27:39.381-07:00Vance and Joe Grant's pet project, "The A...Vance and Joe Grant's pet project, "The Abandoned."
