Brad Bird on Incredibles 2

By Joshua Tyler: 2005-02-02 00:00:00

Just about anyone with any sense would love to see a sequel to The Incredibles. Since it’s Pixar, odds are that it’d be good too After all, most think Toy Story 2 is even better than the original. Except of course it wouldn’t be done by Pixar. That’s the trouble, Disney now owns the characters and Pixar is no longer working with Disney. That means getting the same people involved to make a sequel is a virtual impossibility. Of course that doesn’t mean a sequel won’t be made. Where there’s money to be had, Disney’s ready to make movies, only in this case the movie probably wouldn’t be any good.

That hasn’t stopped anyone from asking about an Incredibles 2 though, and this week Ain’t It Cool New’s Quint (who seems to be the only person actually working over there these days) had the chance to quiz Incredibles director Brad Bird. When asked about Incredibles 2, he had this to say: “I think the key there is having an idea that goes somewhere new. I don't think you just want to recap what you've done. I think the other thing is that you have to feel confident that you have the original creative team. All my favorite sequels were done by the people who did the original, for the most part, where the lion's share of the people who do it, like 90% of the crew is the crew of the one that you like. And at every instance they felt they could match or better... at least they were attempting, you know what I mean? They felt confident going in that they could top or match the one that everyone liked.”

No commitment one way or the other from the man. Would he want to do it? Is it even possible? Unknown. But he does seem to know what it’ll take to make a second movie work. Now if only someone can find a way to let him make that happen. To read the full AICN article, click here.

I think that a sequel to the Incredibles movie would be a brilliant idea, I am sure that I wouldn't blow like most other sequels. I just watched it (for the upteenth time) and was wondering if they were in production to make a sequel for the movie. =_= I am sure that frequent movie goers like myself would nearly wet themselves at another incredibles film. At any rate, *presses replay on dvd player*, until then, I will just have to make due with The Incredibles; after all, there is only one way to describe this Pixar film....INCREDIBLE!

In incredibles one, in the end, a dude with a spinning machine from underground came. I'm guessing he is gonna be the new villain? It would be really good to have an incredibles 2. And waht if the new villain corrupted jack jack's mind using some kind of machine adn made jack jack work for him, it would really be cool. And the incredibles famil wouldn't attack jack jack since its their baby...

the storline for the second incredibles should have the villains in it as well. where did all of the villains go? did any villains get married? do they have children with superpowers? if there are heroes, there are villains. it would be perfect for dash to have a rival on the dark side. and jack jack should reveal his powers, because he might have one of the strongest super powers

I'm a very big fan of animation movies. specially disney/pixer's and dream works. But i like to say that disney and pixer did great job in animation industry, and also history. i watched all of the animation movies of disney/pixer that producted. one of the greatest movie was incredibles and nemo. that's really marvelous. i watched incredibles. at 50 times or 60 times.

I Think "The Incredibles 2" will be due in 2009, and that "Toy Story 3" in 2010.

I'm absolutly dying for a sequel to Incredibles to come out. My family & I are watching it "again" for like the 100th time on our plasma, & it still just blows me away how phenominal it is. The animation is absolutely phenominal, the story line is grippingly funny & catchy enough in both my childrens eye (they're 3 & 4) & also mine & my husbands (we're 28 & 38). I love the way they worked in the suttle adult humor right along with the childrens. I really hope you guys go forth with the sequel, it would be a "Very" smart move, not only for the profit, but also for the happines of all the loyal fans, much like myself. :) Thank you very much!!!!
