That’s good news for us… 
i was shocked by the idea
Just found this on my other forum
"Apparently Disney has gone on a little spending spree as far as domain names is concerned. As well as several variations for an upcoming Jerry Bruckheimer production, World War Robot. They have also invested in the domain
w w w .monsters2.com
At a recent licensing fair, Disney officials supposedly told attendees behind closed doors that Pete Doctor would be following Up with Monsters, Inc 2.

Could this be more of a comfirmation???
I don’t think that this is conformation enough, I know that Jim Hill always reports new domain names that they never really use. Like what in the world are they going to use www.whatsyourpornstarname.com? I just want to hear what movie is coming out in 2013 at this point 
.
If Monsters 2 does ever happen, I hope they do it intelligently (which they should, I have faith). However, I’ll be annoyed if Pete Docter isn’t directing and writing, or at least writing, and I’ll be FURIOUS if he’s not involved at all. I just hope it doesn’t have a predictable plot, and they take it in a new direction with the story.
Having Pete Doctor directly involved doesn’t overly mean the plot won’t go in a new direction or not be predictable…
Yeah, I’m with Nexas on this one. Having Peter Docter directing or writing or both is no guarantee that the plot won’t be predictable and jaded or that it will be taken in a “new direction with the story”. I hate to say it, but what I’ve seen so far, with regards to his directing movies, DO seem to go in rather predictable, “haven’t I seen this before” directions. If he departs from his standard formula of “Good Guys vs. Bad Guy”, then it could prove refreshing, but I can’t help but to be skeptical.

Well, my desire to see him write/direct it is based on the fact that the world in Monsters has a very particular system, and he fully understands how it works, and would probably know how far he should take it if he departs from it a bit. It doesn’t have to do with how the plot’s gonna turn out, I just don’t want another director come in and potentially mess something up about the movie that would bug me.
As for Pete’s plots, yeah, there are some predictable moments, but it’s still incredible and emotionally powerful writing. I just mean that the plot shouldn’t be something everyone expects Monsters 2 to be about, it needs to catch us off guard so that we can be dazzled the first time we watch it, and it’s more gripping as a result.
I’m paranoid that another director would change something that would annoy me is all I meant to say, Pete knows how his movie works more than anyone else, I’m sure.
I suppose in that regard there would be merit that Pete Doctor would understand the world…I suppose.
Yeah, but the folks who made “Happy Days” knew THAT world, too, but that didn’t stop Arthur Fonzerelli from jumping THAT shark! I want to give Docter a chance, but I’m not 100% sure that he’d be the best choice here to avoid a predictable, shark-jumping plot. Me, I’d kinda like to see what Lasseter could do with it. I’ve just got some really, really big reservations, and how this movie turns out is really going to make me or break me, insofar as being a Pixar fan. I’m either going to love 'em like family when it’s done, or tell 'em to kiss my patootie and wash my hands of anything Pixar forever. We’ll see how much they really do pay attention to their fans, but if the information you posted on the Boggs Board today is any indication, Nexas, they’ve already flipped a lot of US the finger told a lot of US to kiss THEIR butts, so my hopes for an non-shark-jumping sequel to Monsters, Inc. are running very low right now.

If the information is any indication of how Doctor’s actions toward an M.I. sequel to be, then they will be predictable, unfaithful, and uncreative.
Would you guys stop being so negative and overdramatic? For goodness sake we are talking Pixar here! You people are the last to come to mind when it comes to doubt, but here you all are talking about how bad this movie is gonna be, even though there’s no garentee it even exists! And from Pixar fans of all people. I would think you out of anyone would trust Both Pete and Pixar as a whole.
Since when did Pixar ( and or Pete Doctor) become a falure in your eyes? Ask yourselfs that.
The thing is, it is Pete Docter’s story. It may not be written the way you would write it, but it’s something he has written. So, in that respect, I would prefer him continue his own story rather than see someone else take it up.

“You people are the last to come to mind when it comes to dobut”…what…do you have the mean?
Regardless of any story, it does not neccessarily mean if written by the same person it will be faithful to the orignal story and the characters. looks up And even so, if it’s claimed Pixar is a master of story telling, then it’s also claimed with it that there are parts even the story holders don’t know.
I totally agree with C-3PO, he should be able to expand on his own story, and I don’t exactly understand what your beef with Pete is. I mean, he might not have plots along the lines of M. Night or anything, but they’re still emotive, and creative. I’m not saying it can’t be done with another writer, but Pete started it, I’d like to see him to continue it.
I mean, he’s only done 2 films, he hasn’t really set up a totally readable trend of success and failure (even though he has the #2 and 3 spots for box office on his films compared to the rest of Pixar’s), I don’t understand where your opinions are founded. You’re completely entitled to them, I’d hate to imply I don’t think you should express them, just confused as to why
chuckles Even if you knew the reason, you would be no closer to understanding…and of that I have some assurance.
I can understand that some people are opposed to Pixar doing yet another sequel.
But on the other hand, I really do not get the opposition to Pete Docter’s involvement some people have (for more or less top-secret reasons). 
It’s not as if Uwe Boll was suddendly directing a Pixar film…
P.S.
I think it’s probably best to just wait and see what the next films will be like.
So far it’s been 10 home-runs, which isn’t really cause for a doom-and-gloom scenario.
If they do manage to run at least one movie into the ground, then we can start worrying.
Actually, many of us are NOT opposed to the sequel, but ARE to how it will be handled.
There’s a different between a reason that’s secret and a reason most people won’t understand and argue against.
Well in some honesty I found Cars to be a bit laxed story-wise, as it borrowed MUCH of the story from Doc Hollywood…so in terms of creative story…wasn’t so much. Sorry Cars fans, but that’s how it is.
Hard to say without knowing the reason, so there’s a bit of a catch 22 here. 
However, that’s not really something you can say about Pete Docter’s works so far. Monsters, Inc. is in my opinion simply creative genius, full of original ideas not seen in any other movie before it.
I have not see Up, because it’s not out here until September, but so far I have heard many extremely positive things about it.
Up has some similar elements from movies, I’ve heard Wizard of Oz, and some other movie with a crazy long name, but from what I can tell, it does these things in a way totally of its own. I just think Up is a fantastic movie, regardless of where it came from (although I’d love to see how it developed)
See, you can say that you’re not nervous about a sequel, and you’re nervous about it being ruined, but in essence, what’s the difference? Yeah, sequels are generally upsetting, but I really don’t have a problem with them, some turn out fine. I think it’s annoying how whenever a sequel is announced or whatever, people start freaking out about it. Just wait a while and see where it goes. If you don’t like the idea of the movie, just don’t watch it. I do however agree that I would be upset to see Pixar take something in a wrong direction, but I’m by no means nervous about that. I mean really.
