Pixar’s creative chief officer Pete Docter reveals that he loved watching Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse
Pete Docter first confirmed that Inside Out 2 is coming out next year. Another film called Elio will be released in the summer of 2024. He even said that Inside Out was shown in an audience test screening and the responses it received were favorable.
Pete Docter said:
"We have 'Inside Out' coming out next summer, and then 'Elio.' That’s about a kid who feels like he doesn’t quite fit in. Somehow, he is selected to be the Earth’s representative at an intergalactic community of planets. The fate of the Earth is in this kid’s hands. We had an audience test screening last week. It’s compelling, fun and very funny."
He continued:
"As for 'Inside Out,' a bunch more emotions get to come in. It’s not just the five we saw in the first film. The team on that one put together a really great story that I think also has real depth and meaning to it. So fingers crossed that people like it."
When asked if films like Toy Story, Cars, Nemo, and Incredibles were getting sequels, he said that there was a possibility.
"It’s all fair game. Our philosophy from the beginning has been the same. The people have changed, but the approach is the same. We tap people that we believe in and feel like they have talent and something to say."
Pete Docter further stated:
"Our movies, on the surface, are about fish, cars and monsters, but just below that, they’re really about all of us, and the challenge of dealing with loss, becoming a parent, finding our place in the world."
He was even asked what he thought about the new animated film Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. He said he enjoyed watching it.
"I saw 'Spider-Verse'hthis last week when it came out. It was amazing. I love the visuals. My friend Kemp Powers was one of the directors of 'Soul.' I can feel his touch at certain points, especially in the scenes with Myles and his parents. It’s almost like a different language in terms of the cinema, the storytelling."
