Article Excerpt:

Pixar has always done pretty well with the "leave 'em wanting more" philosophy of filmmaking: Nine movies, one sequel. That is, of course, unless you count all the direct-to-DVD spin-offs, in which case, they're a bunch of whores.

But for the sake of argument, look at it this way: Toy Story 2 is the only theatrically released sequel in Pixar's proud history. And it looks like it will remain that way for a while. Director Andrew Stanton tells MTV he's not up for another Wall-E adventure. “Personally, I never consider sequels,” Stanton says.

“I think that takes a lot of hubris to think that your idea is going to live on and on, and I always love the idea of something just being contained and done.”
