I doubt he’ll ever make a sequel because making films for him seems to really wear him down on the environment, because he literally spends his life engrossed in that world of whatever film he’s working on for how many years. In an interview he said he wrote bits of WALL-E just to give him a break from directing Finding Nemo. So I get the feeling that after all that work, he just likes to see the finished product and say goodbye to that world and try something new.
Yes. Wikipedia said that WALL-E 2 was being considered, but that’s Wikipedia. I searched the Internet and I found no such statement anywhere, but then the page was edited and it was taken out of it (by me).
How many think the story was complete and should just be left alone?
Definitely me!
As much as I love Wall-E (and…thats a lot) I wouldn’t like to see a sequel of the movie. It could possibly ruin the entire story…
Me too. I can’t stand sequels, unless they could really, really tell a good story, which is what Pixar thinks.
Agreed, they know when it is a good choice to make that investment.
I read another interview and Andrew Stanton said that WALL-E needed a love story aproach and he said that’s where it began and that’s where it ends. He also said he may never make another movie like this again. So, it’s good to hear he wants to make new projects for Pixar.
Yeah, thank goodness. I hate the idea of a WALL-E sequel, so it’s good to know that Stanton is using his noggin and realising that what he’s created is very special, and should be left like that.
It seems that Pixar chooses their battles wisely and when they do come out with a film, its a big deal. Its almost special.
Coming from a movie that pretty much ties all the ends it has to offer, it would be difficult to make another
In the director’s commentary of WALL-E, Andrew Stanton said he ended the movie perfectly and he wouldn’t want it any other way. He also said he forced himself to get involved in the humans’ story, so a sequel would be impossible because of the situation of humanity and robots.
I don’t want them to make a Wall-E sequel. It seems like a sequel for Wall-E would be to hard to pull off. But if they made a sequel I would definitely see it, because I’ve never seen a bad Pixar film before. They obviously know what they’re doing.
I agree with many of you who also DO NOT WANT Wall-e 2 to be ever released. The movie is perfect and it has a perfect ending. The only possible thing is a prequel, but… what do you expect to see there? how Wall-e [spoil]was collecting his gizmos?[/spoil] yawn… nope, even the worst idea can be presented well and it even can have success… but Wall-e 2 surely will be unable to send us more messages than in the original Wall-e, so, I think, the mission of Pixar is accomplished.
Moreover, I didn’t like the idea of makin the videogame for it… and now, when I saw the game, I dislike it even more - almost no connection with the original storyline, fake world, carribean music in the first missions (yack), very original intro (when the playback of [altered] put on your sunday clothes suddenly ends…) argh…
Andrew Stanton seems like the kind of man who once he sees his masterpiece, he moves on to make a whole other masterpiece.
And that is a proper approach!
Btw, out of curiosity, are there any Pixarians on this forum? I think some of the staff and even management are interested in what the spectators think about their art.
All I really want is a just an epilouge to Wall-e something more than pictures in the creadits you know? I know there’s no point to a sequel.
I’m glad to know Mr. Stanton is so smart about this. I’m tired of certain people trying to make more money from a perfect movie cough Jeff Katz Cough
Wait they’re not going to make anything like Wall-E again? AWWWWW!
Maybe they’ll make something just as pure and loveable, but…different, like a different story. We’ve got enough Pixar sequels to look at for now.
Unless a giant hand appears in the sky to stop a Wall-E sequel, one way or another there is going to be one, like it or not. The cost of animation will fall relatively closely with the cost of computation, altho creative processes will initially be independently expensive. Disney owns Pixar, and even tho they respect the latter, at some point the creators of Wall-E will pass into retirement and no longer have any say-so. Then there will be a new crowd at Pixar, perhaps…
It was like saying there would never be another Fantasia. There was, and it was pretty good. Disney, unfortunately, doesn’t put in the care to its sequels like Pixar does. There are a surprising number of sequels to famous Disney animated movies that you might not be aware of. So those of us here wouldn’t be happy if it were a Disney managed production circa 2010. How they will be in 2030, who knows. We can’t say that in another 20 years there will even be a Pixar branch. Remember Pixar helped spell the death of major non-CGI animated movies in 2003, only a few years after TS1. Hundreds of Disney animators were given their walking papers. Whether Lassiter and company can resuscitate them is up in the air.
Someone will own the rights, and be tempted to sequel. Even if they don’t want a sequel, someone in the underground will want one and it won’t take them 442 (re:dvd) years to make it! Not in the year 2030 it won’t.
I guess nothing is sacred. Didja know they’re doing a sequel to Tron and Pirates of the Caribbean? 
Yeah, I thought so.
