Seems like ages ago that everyone was gushing over Pixar’s latest hit, doesn’t it?

Now Minions is the movie on everyone’s lips. The hit of the land! A tremendous opening weekend! Almost $400,000,000 grossed worldwide!!! Illumination/Universal does it yet again! Can nothing stop them???

Wait, what’s that you say?

They’re working on a Wreck-It-Ralph sequel!?*

Well if they don’t call it Super Wreck-It-Ralph someone should be fired.†

Etc. etc.

* MovieNews | John C. Reilly confirms at Galway Film Fleadh that he’s signed on for Wreck-It Ralph 2 – entertainment.ie

† As quipped by Redditor /u/lpjunior999

Frozen contributed to my disillusionment with animation last year.

Inside Out is the catalyst this time around.

The cranial dynamo ran out of steam, and it’s no easy task to get it spinning again.

Ideally you shouldn’t have to start rebuilding a passion from scratch, and yet here we are.

With that in mind, the focus now is on creating something new,  and in order to do that, you can’t focus on the old.
