> With its shrinking number of originals, Pixar is trying to balance returning to broad commercial concepts while pushing the boundaries of its tried, true and, to some, tired formula. Next year’s “Gatto,” about a feline thief in Venice, features animal fur and human hair that look like they were painted by hand, rather than a computer trying to simulate the real thing. “Ono Ghost Market,” which was originally going to be a streaming series, is inspired by Asian myths about supernatural bazaars where the living and dead interact. The studio hasn’t publicly unveiled “Ono” yet.
> Pixar is also developing its first ever musical, from “Turning Red” director Domee Shi, according to people familiar with the matter.

Imagine the trailer.
Sully is all excited and walks up to a door, he opens it and we see him smile. and then an adult voice says “Kitty !”.

There are a lot of juicy tidbits in this article. Like revelations about Elio not known before, projects cancelled never disclosed before, future projects not disclosed yet, and the detail that Domee Shi’s next feature is supposed to be a musical.

If it isn’t a proper Monsters Inc. sequel, I don’t want it.

A Pixar musical could be very interesting, they’ve avoided it because that’s usually WDAS’ domain but I assume it won’t be like WDAS films.

If Hoppers is a massive success, Pixar is for sure making a sequel
Hoping that Mario doesn’t cut off its legs.

Do wonder if Monsters At Work will curb some enthusiasm for the third Monsters Inc compared to other recent Disney sequels. The other Disney sequels barely had any content in their long hiatuses (we had Zootopia+ but that doesn’t really count since it takes place during the first movie), but I could see them decanonizing At Work
