Tien tips om Pixar film sequels beter te maken

Pixar maakt al sinds jaar en dag de meeste prachtige computer animatie films, en deze krijgen ook vaak een vervolg. Zo was het moeilijk om je tranen tijdens het einde van Toy Story 3 in bedwang te houden, en ook het recentere Brave was prachtig om te zien. Maar met Cars 2 sloegen ze bijvoorbeeld de plank gigantisch mis en kan je over een grote flop spreken.

Nu heeft de website Toptenz.net deze lijst gemaakt met tien tips die vervolg films van Pixar nog sterker moeten maken. Uiteraard is deze lijst wel gemaakt met een dikke knipoog en de nodige humor.


The Story So Far: Nemo is found. The title kinda gave it away from the start, huh?

What's Next: For starters, Nemo should not get lost AGAIN. That kind of crap murdered the Home Alone franchise, as any parents who loses their child twice should have DSS called on them immediately. And then shot. In Marlin's case, he could be turned into a tiny fillet for tiny appetites.

More than likely, the sequel will involve finding Dory's family, who she quickly mentions as having lost early in the film. And that's fine, provided you do it right. And "right" involves Dory constantly deciding that every living thing she meets is part of her family, which would include various fish, turtles, dolphins, a coral reef, and a Colossal Squid. It won't matter if she ran into turtles and sharks in the first film, since she has no memory. She can remember Marlin-related things, but that's only because she totally wants his gonopodium. A pivotal scene about that, by the way, absolutely should be included in the unrated DVD release.

Now, usually when kid's movies do this "find my family" thing, the main character decides that their best friends are their true family, because of the True Value Of Friendship and blah blah blah other stuff that Disney has all but trademarked at this point. My version, however, would involve Dory totally finding her real, actual family: a group of filthy-rich sea slugs who may or may not be involved in the underwater drug cartel. Because family and friends are great and all, but fat bank accounts are far better. Even though fish don't have banks, since they're fish. They probably store their money inside of a long-dead giant starfish or something.
