Ok so this is kinda old news by now, but I’m writing this on the 8th, to be published later as I’m pretty busy with exams and all.
That said, from SlashFilm.com:
At the licensing fair in Las Vegas, Disney/Pixar revealed to buyers behind closed doors that they have yet another sequel in the works. Despite what Brad Bird said on stage at WonderCon two years ago, Pixar is now in the sequel business. Cars 2, Toy Story 3, and now Monsters Inc 2. According to Jim Hill, buyers who attended these limited preview sessions were sworn to secrecy by Disney officials, but several have confirmed that Pete Docter will be following up Up with a sequel to Monsters, Inc.
YESS. Monster’s Inc. 2. While I can’t imagine what this would be about and think that the first film was pretty much self-contained, I do love the film so very much, and feel like the post-UP Pete Docter is an even more mature filmmaker than he was 12 years before the sequel is expected to hit (and, on the standard Pixar 5-year dev. cycle, ~17 years after he started work on the first film. For reference, Pixar was still in a fire-hazardous spread of small building over an area of nothern California, nowhere near the beautiful campus they have now)
