The Pixar Blog<\/a> points today to an article from MTV<\/span> Movie Blo<\/a>g by Shawn Adler where Pete Docter supposedly hinted at a Monsters, Inc.<\/em> sequel is in the works. Adler’s words where, <\/p>\n

"When I followed up with Doctor about [the ideas for a sequel being considered] all he would say is "I can neither confirm nor deny". (And he did it in a nervous voice)."<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Is this really proof? Mike from The Pixar Blog seems to think it indicates a sequel is<\/em> indeed in the works. He cites Disney CEO<\/span> Bob Iger’s comments on a Cars<\/em> sequel being "a relatively good bet" as evidence for his cause. He mentions that 2 months and 2 days after Iger’s comments, the Cars<\/em> sequel was announced. <\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
However, I’m going to disagree with Mike on this one. I don’t think a Monsters, Inc.<\/em> sequel is fully in the works. I know my track records isn’t spotless either. I gave more than my fair share of poo-pooing to a Cars<\/em> sequel. I blatantly rejected all the evidence piled up in front of me because I<\/em> didn’t want it to be true. His Monsters, Inc<\/em>.-esque neither confirmation or denial of a sequel seems to be typical Pixar answers for future products. It’s almost textbook stuff on what to say when questions like that are posed.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
But as for Pete Docter’s nervousness, well I think that could be put down to character. I’m sure Pixar have tossed around some ideas for a sequel, and Docter does mention this, but I don’t think any of those ideas have come into full realisation yet. Call me a cynic, but I don’t think we will see a Monsters, Inc.<\/em> 2 in the near (<2015) future.<\/div>\n
