Ladies and Gentlemen whether you like it or not, the Pixar Playlist
Sequels are a tricky business for Pixar, they’ve had some good ones, and
some mediocre ones, and a terrible one. But this era of Pixar is continuing to
pump them out and why not a sequel to a pretty popular film, the Incredibles.
The popularity of Superheroes in pop culture in the 2010s made a sequel
to this feel more and more inevitable. But that is a double-edged sword as it
enters into a pretty saturated market. They weren’t even safe in the animated
department as Spider-man: Into the Spider-verse was due to come out in the same
year, a film that would beat it to an Oscar in an uncommon loss for Disney.
But what they have to their advantage is resources. No-longer do they
need to dedicate time and money for developing the physics since the technology
already exists within the company, all the have to do is transfer all the
models to the new software and update them. And speaking of resources, $200m is
also helpful and far more than any other studio gives to their animated
projects.
And the film was successful, raking in $1.2bn at the box office, this in spite of Disney swapping the schedule and losing a full year of development time. Let’s see where it fits on my list
