Brad Bird, who directed and wrote the original 2004 film, is now writing _The Incredibles 2_. Bird had previously been hesitant to continue the story of Mr. Incredible and his superhero family. According to Slashfilm, he said at 2007 WonderCon, “Pixar does not look at sequels as a financial plan. We feel we have a relationship with the audience and that they believe in each movie we put out. We believe completely in every movie we put out. If I can come up with a story that is as good or better than that first film, then I’d love to return to that world, but it would have to be story first.” Disney is also developing _Cars 3_. After ho-hum reviews for _Cars 2_ and _Monsters University_, Pixar President Ed Catmull promised earlier this year that the iconic animation studio would be scaling back on sequels and working on more original films. But that apparently doesn’t preclude Pixar churning out _both_ new films and sequels to old favorites. In 2015, Pixar will release two movies in one year for the first time ever: kids and parents will get to see both _Inside Out,_ a movie set inside a human brain, and _Good Dinosaur_, a move about a dinosaur who befriends a young boy. The release date for _Incredibles 2_ has not been announced. _Correction: The original version of this story incorrectly listed which Pixar movies are being released in 2015._ ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/29389/incredibles-2-disney-brad-bird/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/29389/incredibles-2-disney-brad-bird/"},"headline":"It's Official!
