Surely they love other, more sequel-deserving Pixar movies more ?

Two reasons for continuing the Cars franchise:

1. $$$. The only Pixar property that sells more merchandise than Cars is Toy Story, and in 2014 they surpassed all other film franchises for merchandise sales, almost double what Frozen brought in that year for merchandise.

Quote
How is it that “Cars” was such a surprisingly successful merchandising machine? It was with ‘Cars’ that Disney started to think outside of the box, making many more products with these automotive characters and expanding the Cars toy universe drastically. Of course, this $10 billion isn’t all toys – it includes DVD sales and assorted paraphernalia – but the number is hugely impressive. Cars marked a new era for the Walt Disney Company and many believe it changed how they marketed their brand to the new generation of movie fans.


2. Cars is the pet project of John Lasseter. He loves those characters and that world more than any of Pixar's other movie. So long as he remains in charge of Pixar and Walt Disney Animation I see more Cars on the horizon.

Lasseter is crazy. All the movies he's worked on were better than Cars, not to mention its sequel.

It's sad that Disney Animation Studios is now much more creative and original than Pixar. Hoping that Bird can bring back that artistic integrity they had back in the day.

You mean, with the sequel he is preparing.

Not that I am complaining. If there is one movie that deserves a sequel it's that one.

You say that like you don't realize this happened when John Lasseter moved away from Pixar to oversee Walt Disney Animation Studios. A move that led to his redirecting the story on Bolt and Tangled, and showed a definite turning point in 2012 when Pixar released the princess film Brave while Disney released Wreck-It Ralph, a buddy comedy about two misunderstood characters in a world we didn't know had a life beyond what we humans see, who become outcast in their world and must work together to defeat a villain who wishes to destroy their kind so they can get back to their worlds, where they end up more respected than before.

They do love other ones, like Frozen, but they still love Cars lots and lots.

I know. He's a great producer. Just odd that now when he works with Pixar it's almost always a train wreck. Like maybe the Disney team gives him pushback or something and the Pixar people just fall in line? I dunno. It's odd.

It's interesting that animation is really the only genre where the studio name attached to it is something people pay attention to. When an animated movie is Disney or Pixar, it's like okay, it'll be at such and such a level. And if it isn't Disney or Pixar it's like, wtf is this going to be?

The rest of cinema, Warner Bros, Fox, Columbia... nobody cares. Nobody remembers.

Is it because animation studios are the only ones that have steady production teams ?
