We’re looking to tap these amazingly talented people I get to work with to talk about universal stories that are about life issues that we all face. Our movies on the surface are about fish, cars, and monsters, but just below that, they’re really about all of us, and the challenge of dealing with loss, becoming a parent, finding our place in the world.

He also remarked that their “philosophy from the beginning has been the same.” Even though some of their talents have moved on, the same approach and treatment of the films remain the same. “We tap people that we believe in and feel like they have talent and something to say,” he added.

BothThe IncrediblesandFinding Nemobrought massive successes to the studio, and it’s not difficult to see why they want to replicate the same win. Disney CEOBob Igeronce said viaTheWrapthat he does not “want to apologize for making sequels.” He thinks there are reasons to make more follow-up films beyond monetary.
