I will look out for it. I have a lot of thoughts about sequels not only for animation but movies in general. If the creative team originally thought about sequels, it makes sense. Godfather I and II, the original Star Wars triology. Sometimes, you have a creative team reflecting on the original and building on it ie. Scorsese's brilliant take (Color of Money) on Rossen's the Hustler. At other times, you have a creative force like Kurosawa that can take the samurai with no name and create completely original "Yogimbo" followed by equally original sequel "Sanjuro". And lastly, the Indiana Jones triology were very refreshing al as it follows a comic book format of Carl Bark's Uncle Scrooges where each story is fresh and unique adventure. What I find the most unappealing of today's sequels is that they are caving into market research of what people want to see. It is wholly unoriginal. The background, character designs, lighting effects are based in most part on the original. Just a lot of jokes and gags. Shrek, Rush Hour, Bambi II, Cinderalla IV, blah blah blah. Sequels can be a wonderful thing but not by resting on your laurels. cK It was great seeing you at the Maverick's auction. I am proud owner of original E-kun Sketchcrawl watercolor!!!!! E,
