Are you excited for this film? I personally am! It’s always interesting to see a new original idea from Pixar and I’m pleased with the voice cast.
I’m not really sure how to feel about this film. On one hand, it’s an original film being made by Pixar, which is great to see since during this decade, Pixar has made more sequels than original films. So it’s nice to see them going back to make more original films. On the other hand, the film will be made by the director of Monsters University, which I thought was just an okay movie and I think it’s one of Pixar’s weaker films. I hope this film ends up being great.
Yeah, the director is my only concern as well. I’m hoping for the best.
I’m definitely excited to see an original idea, and that voice cast sounds great!
Yeah, I’m excited! Hopefully they’ll be a trailer or something at the D23 next year!
