9 Upcoming Movie Sequels That We Don’t Really Need

Right now, it seems that the movie industry is almost entirely made up of sequels and prequels, and reboots and revamps. Some of them are very welcome – like the new Star Wars films – while others are at least intriguing – the new female-led Ghostbusters, for example.

1) Toy Story 4

TOY STORY 3

The first Toy Story smashed expectations away in 1995 by proving to people that this new-fangled CGI animation could produce just as heartfelt films as the traditional style. Remarkably, the same level of quality remained for its sequel in 1999 and then again in 2010. With the Toy Story films, Pixar have proved that they only make sequels when they have a good story in place (no one mention Cars).

That said, we can’t help but be wary of the upcoming Toy Story 4. The arc of Woody, Buzz and their owner Andy was wrapped up so well in Toy Story 3 that it not only seems like Pixar are pushing their luck with another but that there is no more story left to tell.

Apparently, the film will detail a love story between Woody and Bo Peep, building on their romance featured in the first two Toy Storys.

While Pixar will surely make a decent stab at it, a fourth Toy Story risks tarnishing one of the great movie trilogies of all time (yes, it’s true). It would probably be best if Pixar just closed the lid on this toybox for good.
