So Finding Nemo 2 at last has gotten a definite go. Too bad...
Don't get me wrong, I love Finding Nemo. In fact, I love it so much that I don't need a sequel to remind me why I love it so much ten years later. Fact is, Finding Dory is just another sad case of Pixar suffering from that most dreaded disease known as sequelitis grandis, a severe creative condition that causes a studio to regurgitate its own age old "excrements" and produce much less healthy appearing shit. For the longest time, Pixar seemed not to be swayed by this illness, unlike its competitors DreamWorks and Blue Sky, which produced more sequels than they did original projects. For a while, Pixar was the absolute pinnacle of originality and inspiredness in the department of computer animation, its only exception being Toy Story 2 and 3, which turned out surprisingly good against all odds. But now, the studio is drowning itself in recycling past glory. Like Ellen DeGeneres said regarding the prospect of doing more voice work for Dory: 'I’m not mad it took this long. I know the people at Pixar were busy creating ‘Toy Story 16’. One cannot help but sense an awkward bit of sarcasm in this quote, one that applies as much to Finding Nemo as it does to the Toy Story franchise. DeGeneres of course has little reason to complain since she can do what she likes again and gets payed for it. But what about the audience? Cars 2, Monsters University, Planes, Toy Story 4 and now Finding Nemo 2, where will it end? Is there no more place for unique stories any more at Pixar?
Then again, with Brave, Pixar's last original piece of work, it was already evident a quality decline had set in. All good things must come to an end, it's a natural law. It seems Pixar has stopped producing good things. Then again, maybe there's a few more miracles a la Toy Story 2 and 3 in the works...
