Director John Lasseter, one of the driving forces behind Pixar Studios, had ended hopes for a sequel to last year’s hit Finding Nemo.
Talking to the Australian Associated Press, Lasseter, who also serves as vice-president for Pixar, stated that there were no plans for an eventual sequel. Pixar has been fighting distributing partners Disney over property rights for their joint ventures, but bad blood has ensured from failiure to renew their pertnership, and Disney’s recent announcement of a third Toy Story, which will be done without Lasseter’s group. Not to help anything, Disney President Roger Iger recently revealed that as far as they were concerned, a second “Nemo” was in the works.
In somewhat related news, Meet The Fockers scribe James Herzfeld talked to IESB last week about his work in Toy Story 3. The writer insisted on Disney’s intentions to have a theatrical release, saying that work had already started with released eyed 3 years form now. He mentioned some tid bits of storyline, where Andy would have a new stepsister with toys of her own.
