Andrew Stanton has always wanted to make a sequel to Finding Nemo, and according to a recent LA Times interview with Andrew Stanton, a sequel to Finding Nemo is in production. Oddly enough, there is not link to this interview, the article simply says that they interviewed him, so the sequel currently is not completely confirmed.
There have also been rumors that Andrew Stanton is only making the sequel because of the failure of his most recent film, John Carter. These rumors were denied by Stanton on his most recent tweet.
While I don't know for sure about a Finding Nemo sequel being made, I am somewhat starting to believe it after reading many articles about it. I'm still not going to fully believe it until I see an official announcement from Pixar, though.
I'm honsetly not sure what to think about a Finding Nemo sequel. On one hand, it seems completely unnecessary making a sequel. What would it possibly be about? Would Marlin lose Nemo again after all the character development both of them went through? If that's the case, then that's just stupid cashgrabbing which is not like Pixar to be doing at all. But on the other hand, Pixar doesn't make sequels unless they have good stories for them. And also, if they make a sequel to Finding Nemo but aren't making a sequel to The Incredibles (a sequel which many people have been waiting for), then Pixar must be having something up their sleeves for a Finding Nemo sequel because if they wanted a quick way to make money, they would make a sequel to The Incredibles.
Anyways, what do you think? Do you believe these rumors about a Finding Nemo sequel, or are you waiting for official confirmation from Pixar like I am? And what would you think of Pixar if they do end up making a Finding Nemo sequel?
Confirmation is a good thing. While you're correct in stating that Pixar waits 'til the appropriate time to release its sequels, the Monsters Academy (prequel?) sounds like an excellent idea. By the same note, Finding Nemo may not be a sequel about another quest to find the boy or him[Marlon]self. It may be the story of Nemo attempting to deal with a new permanent addition to the family. You know the one! It's a fairy tale classic: the new [perhaps] evil stepmother. Marlon's been lonesome since Cora got gobbled up...and "a man has needs" -- as they lustfully say. :-D She'll play nice to Marlon's face, belittle Dori, but she won't catch on and be cruel to Nemo -- threatening to destroy him if he breathes a word to Daddy. All the classic characters will return. There'll be escalating conflict. Marlon will discover this in secret (right before the nuptials) and get his revenge by leading her to the spot where he'd initially lost Nemo to P.Sherman, 42 Walloughby Way, Sydney.
