Ah, now I remember your long struggle with it. I don't think I've ever seen someone so desperate to like a movie.

Doing this I've come to appreciate Inside Out...

Wow I'm so glad you pointed back to that thread.  I just caught up on your scene-by-scene review of The Incredibles.  Really great job on that! You touched on just about all the reasons I love that film.  I'm looking forward to reading your reviews on the rest of the films as well.  I'll resist the temptation to react to specifics :)

Hopefully, this also means less Pixar sequels. In matter of sequels, I would only gladly embrace a third Incredibles movie (but only if it is soon), but definitely no other Pixar movie asks for even a single sequel. Same for Disney movies either, tough I think that Wreck-It Ralph's sequel could be the Emoji movie done right, despite the trailers showing no plot and only merchandise. Even if Wreck-It Ralph 2 is not good, Disney Animation Studios is simply too talented and too smart to even come close to the level of the Emoji Movie, tough this does not really mean that much.

After Pixar changed the release date of Incredibles 2, Bird had to scrap some of his original ideas for the movie, comparing the process to a scene from I Love Lucy.

"It's like the episode of I Love Lucy when she's got the candies piling up on the conveyor belt," Bird said. "This film was like that. They took a year off our schedule, so if an idea didn't work quickly, you had to just kill the darling and move onto the next. And I killed like a city full of darlings."

He had separate plans for the movie's characters which had to be abandoned, including a completely different idea for a villain. The character "Screenslaver" was actually introduced late into the process, due to the film's shifted timeline. But while these "really good" characters and storyboards didn't make it into the sequel, Bird hasn't lost hope for them.

This makes sense because during production I was working with an actor who was voicing a bad guy that's not in the final film. He mentioned a jail break of super-powered bad guys and the main villain was supposed to come from there.

If they don't bungle it with I3, Pixar will have achieved two entirely good trilogies*, something not many studios can boast about.

(*It is my understanding I2 is good, it hasn't been released here yet.)

I feel like the first Cars keeps it from me calling it a good trilogy.
