Pixar Animated Studios has released some of the most heartwarming animated movies of all time, and they are loved by all generations across the globe. Their Toy Story movie franchise has been among the more popular of all their films, though people had doubts about all the sequels, and those misgivings have been dispelled so far, as is the case with their latest move coming out.

Toy Story 3 – Unnecessary But Amazing

Doubts about unnecessary sequels were evaded before. Fans of the Pixar franchise Toy Story were doubtful about Toy Story 3. They felt it was beside the point and should not have been released a decade after the second film. However, those doubts quickly dispersed because the movie was incredible and quickly became beloved by everyone.

Fans Worried About Toy Story 4

A fear arose among fans that Toy Story 4 would ruin the perfect sad ending that the previous film offered, but those fears turned out to be in vain. Toy Story 3 was the perfect ending, and all the toys became Bonnie’s after Andy went to college, and it could have ended there. However, in the fourth film, the storyline led to Woody and Bo leaving the gang and joining the Lost Toys. That left the door open for more stories, and the studio picked up right where they had left off.

Toy Story 5 by Pixar Deserves Faith

By now, fans should know that the studio gets the franchise right, no matter what! Toy Story 5 should garner faith from fans, seeing as the previous sequels proved every doubt wrong and turned out to be fantastic. So much of the story is left, and hardened fans should not worry about the upcoming film.

Pixar Animated Studios has gained the trust and faith of fans throughout the years because of the success of all their Toy Story movies. People always worry that one film could ruin an entire franchise, and they have been worried before about the Toy Story films, but the studio has found the perfect way to put all doubts to bed!

Avatar was renowned for its show-stopping visuals and world-building capabilities, especially when it came to the Na’vi. But building an alien culture was no easy thing to achieve. A recent Instagram post reveals that the creation of the leading character, Jake Sully, started in December 2006. Given that the movie wasn’t to be released for another three years, designers spent quite a lot of time perfecting the design. Here’s more on the story.

How the Avatar Concept Art Got Made

One of the people involved in the early Avatar concept, Joseph C. Pepe, shared his role in creating the design. His Instagram post reveals how the project started – with a photo shoot of the actor. To achieve really successful results, the designer wanted to blend the new facial features with each actor/actress’ facial shape. That process was very time-consuming, though. To make matters worse, many of the initial designs were immediately rejected.

In fact, the Jake Sully Na’vi design Avatar fans like so much took more than 38 versions to perfect. All the hard labor was worth it, though, as the film became the highest-grossing movie at the time, with critics praising its incredible visual effects.

Further Developments of the Avatar Franchise

Expectedly, Avatar didn’t end with just one film and was turned into a franchise. The second installment, titled Avatar: The Way of Water, sees the main character trying to protect his family from human invaders. Sully finds a hideout in the Pandora ocean area. By the end of the movie, he’s had enough of all the running and takes to the offensive with another Na’vi clan.

Rumour has it that the third film has already been made, where Jake Sully might not be the leading character. James Cameron has already said that a new clan will be brought into the mix, as well as more friendly humans. Avatar 3 will be released in December of 2024.
