Is Pixar Planning ‘Cars 3′ For 2018?

Pixar

In news that should surprise no one who keeps an eye on Disney’s finances, word has surfaced that ‘Cars 3‘ is in the works over at Pixar. Animation fans can wail and gnash their teeth as much as they want over this much maligned series, but there’s no denying that these films have been a massive success for their studio and a ‘Cars 3′ was simply inevitable. It was all a matter of when it got announced.

But that official announcement is not here today! Instead, we get a kinda-sorta confirmation from a man who may or may not know exactly what’s going on. The source of the buzz is Michael Wallis, the author of “Route 66: The Mother Road,” a historical consultant on the ‘Cars’ films and the voice of Sheriff in Radiator Springs. He “confirms” the existence of ‘Cars 3′ in the middle of a 25-minute radio interview, saying that the new film will return to the Route 66 setting of the first film and will feature Route 99, a famous California highway.

Cars sucked, and Cars 2 wasn't any better.


Meh.

Not only will they watch this, they will watch it multiple times...in a day.

Then also ask for the different toys (Cars, Toys, Monsters, Toy Story, Planes lol)

This.

I'm guessing the kids were not about the merchandise. Notice the only movies that are getting sequels are the ones with huge business in merchandise.

Pixar is an interesting case..a familiar case when you see a company get too big. And when you get bigger, you get more people involved. And those people might interfere with the product, be it execs, marketing dept with their focus groups and merchandizing people, etc.

It happens all the time. It's business unfortunately.

Will this film star that hack Larry the Cable Guy?

Whoa whoa, no one is hating kids movies. I'd bet most of us here love Pixar, they've done damn fine work. However, Cars was not great, and Cars 2 was horrible. If kids like them, great, but when Pixar's arguably best film, The Incredibles, gets no love, and Cars 3 gets the go ahead, I think we're allowed some room to complain.

Cars was OK, but I thought Cars 2 was a box office dud?

It made almost $560 million worldwide. Which is $100 million more than the first Cars. Plus, they're making a lot of money from the toys based on the movies.

I'm really surprised they're not making Incredibles 2 in a time when superhero films are the biggest thing ever. The Incredibles would sell a lot of toys as well.

Wow, really? Thanks, I thought it flopped, at least in the US. I remember the first few weeks after it came out that they were saying it was Pixar's first bomb. Guess not!

Yeah, it wasn't exactly a big hit in US. It made around $190 million. Not really a flop, but certainly underwhelming numbers compared to other Pixar-movies
