Upon being asked by Coming Soon if an Incredibles sequel was in the works, Incredibles director Brad Bird responded, “If I had an idea that I felt was as good and better than the one we did, you don’t just want to repeat yourself. You want to take it in a new direction. If I could find something as good as Toy Story 2 was to Toy Story, I would love to return to the world. But I think it’s also about assembling the original team and respecting the audience and all of that. I think if those things can happen, I love the characters and I love the world and I’d love to do more with them.”
As to whether Pixar would ever enter the field of traditional animation, Bird answered, “It’s a wild place; it does not exist to put technology on the screen, it exists for character and stories. And if they felt there was a story better told hand-drawn, I don’t think the fact they are know for computer animation would stop them.” Meanwhile, in regards to his upcoming projects, Bird remarks, “…I have about a month and a half of vacation saved up so I’m going to take it. And I’m still working on the DVD until it comes out, in terms of talking about and going around. So I’m going to take some time off, but I’ll get to work. Don’t worry.”
