There Might Be Part Three Of Monster University, Jim Morris reveals

 

Pixar President Jim Morris revealed during the summer that the animation giant currently has plans in place for four original movies beyond 2019. Such a statement of intent was greeted with open arms, particularly after a string of sequels in the form of Toy Story 3, Cars 2, Monsters University and Finding Dory.

Each film earned respectable reviews, of course, and Toy Story 3 blew past all expectations to enter Hollywood’s billion dollar club, but there’s something to be said about Pixar’s originality – just look at Inside Out. Striking a balance between established properties and new IP is key, then, and according to director Pete Docter, a third installment in the Monsters, Inc. franchise could be in the cards.

When questioned about the prospect of Monsters, Inc. 3, Docter replied “You never say never — who knows what will happen? We purposely went with a prequel for Monsters University because we didn’t want to answer some of the questions about what happens to Boo, and how does she grow up, and things like that. It would have to be really compelling, which is hopefully the benchmark for all of our sequels, anyway. Part of that idea was like a Peter Pan-type thing, where [Wendy] had been visited by Peter Pan as a kid and had sort of half-forgotten who he was.”
