Monster AG 2 (Pixar, 2012)

Studio has dated Pixar's "Brave" for June 15, 2012 while also confirming a sequel to "Monsters Inc.," which will be released on Nov. 16, 2012.

Mouse House chairman Rich Ross made the announcement Thursday afternoon on the studio lot.

"Monsters Inc.," released in 2001, becomes only the third Disney-Pixar property to reach sequel status; the first was "Toy Story," which is gearing up for its third installment this summer. The second, "Cars 2," will unspool in 2011.

"Monsters" grossed over $525 million at the worldwide box office.

Ich persönlich finde es schade, dass Pixar mittlerweile so großen Wert auf Fortsetzungen und Spinoffs bekannter Filme legt. Nach Cars 2 erhält nun auch Monsters, Inc. einenen Ableger. Monsters University ist als Prequel zu "Die Monster AG" angelegt.

Wie Cars 2 scheint Monsters University eher dem schnellen Cash In gedacht zu sein. Regie führt Dan Scanlon, welcher zuvor lediglich für Direct-to-DVD/BD-Filme aus dem Cars-Universum verantwortlich zeichnete.

Kinostart ist 2013.
