However, something happened post-2010, a much more lenient approach to sequel-making entered the fray; “Cars 2” became a juggernaut for toy and clothing merchandising which brought greed into the equation. Then it didn’t stop, “Monsters University,” “Finding Dory,” “Cars 3,” “The Incredibles 2,” and “Toy Story 4,” all came to the fray and dampened the Pixar reputation. The risk-taking factor also came in with safer fare such as “Brave,” “The Good Dinosaur,” and this year’s “Onward.” Of course, this post-2010 phase also brought forth two notable gems, “Inside Out” and “Coco.” Pixar has promised to rely less on sequels in the foreseeable future, which brings us to their big summer release this year, Pete Docter’s “Soul.” Docter, the director of “Inside Out,” has given us yet another highly original premise with “Soul” which follows an aspiring Jazz Pianist, (voiced by Jamie Foxx), who’s lost his passion for music, but gets transported to the afterlife and tries to find his way back with the help of an infant soul (Tina Fey). I bet this gets great reviews. Contribute Hire me
