Crossing my fingers for Dark Knight Rises.

Even with Brave being a dissapointment, I give them credit for trying an original idea again.
That being said, I have to concur I really worry about their future at this point. They've never had 3 misses in a row to date, but with Cars 2, this, and Monster's University next year, you really have to wonder if the brand even means anything anymore, especially given the increase in quality on Dreamwork's side (How to Train Your Dragon is very close to Top-Tier Pixar quality in my opinion).

I can't imagine Monster's University is going to be a good upper tier Pixar film. Going the prequel route just seems like such a cash grab and so un-necessary. And the concept itself sounds so much like some lesser Dreamworks movie, or even one of those Direct-To-Video sequels like "Planes". It could easily just be a whole series of Monster versions of College movie tropes, and I just have no interest in that.

Quite Frankly, I don't understand the mentality at all. It's not like Pixar non-sequels have ever done poorly, they've all been hugely profitable. Why not stick to original ideas going forward for awhile, especially given all the shit they got over Cars 2.

Theeeeere you go.

I'm with Invid.  I enjoyed the movie for being something different than the trailer purported.  Although being hearing impaired, I didn't hear that the theme was supposed to be about destiny and fate.  I thought the theme was about family.

I think we may have found the problem.
