Ratatouille 2 Will Never Happen, Says Director Brad Bird

Don't expect Pixar's favourite rat to marque a return, arsenic manager Brad Bird sees nary imaginable successful a Ratatouille 2.

Speaking with Collider, Bird was asked if helium thinks determination volition beryllium a 2nd Ratatouille movie. Bird made it beauteous wide that helium believes Remy's communicative is completed and there's thing near to bash with that world. He noted Pixar has tried to nudge him into making a sequel, but helium remains steadfast successful his determination to permission it alone.

"No, I don't," said Bird. "They've made small feints towards that to spot however I would react. They'll, like, ace a joke, but the gag volition beryllium a small spot serious, like, 'Would you?' And I'm like, 'No, we told that story.' Any clip you bash thing that ends up connecting with people, they automatically think, 'How astir another?' People person mentioned it astir The Iron Giant, which is hilarious to maine due to the fact that the movie didn't win astatine each successful its archetypal release. It's caught up successful time, but what would you bash to travel that up? He's lumbering around, inactive undiscovered? In different words, to me, that communicative is told."

Bird did accidental he's unfastened to revisiting his superhero franchise, The Incredibles, however. Pixar is so moving guardant with The Incredibles 3, which volition beryllium helmed by Elemental manager Peter Sohn, but Bird volition beryllium penning the script. Bird besides voiced Edna Mode, a manner decorator who creates the supersuits for the assorted heroes, truthful don't beryllium amazed if helium returns to his dependable role, too.

Bird's committedness to not continuing the communicative of Ratatouille whitethorn onslaught immoderate arsenic surprising. Pixar conscionable released Toy Story 5 and, though it is performing precise well, there's a looming feeling that the franchise has overstayed its welcome. Some consciousness that Toy Story 3 was the cleanable send-off for Woody, Buzz, and the remainder of the gang, but Pixar has continued to propulsion the bid forward. Of course, Disney and Pixar could astir apt marque different Ratatouille without Bird, but they'd hazard the accidental of not lone making a lesser film, but besides damaging their narration with a respected creative.
