At the Animated-News Forum, ‘ShyVoilet’ points to a new post at Animation Nation, where word comes that John Lasseter and Ed Catmull announced to Walt Disney Feature Animation employees today that production on Toy Story 3 has ended. “They said that sequels should only be made if there is a really great story that demands it, and should be the domain of those who created the original film. In other words, if Pixar wants to make a sequel to its films, it will. If Disney Feature wants to make a sequel to its film, it will. But the two will not cross,” writes the post’s author. Fortunately, Lasseter and Catmull are still interested in the artists of Disney’s Circle 7 Animation and will try to find ways to use their talents.
