'Finding Nemo 2:' Andrew Stanton Will Direct Sequel; Toy Story 4 in the Works?

All you fans of "Finding Nemo" fans should rejoice! Everyone's favorite little fish is coming back to the big screen.  

According to Deadline, director Andrew Stanton will be producing a sequel to Disney-based Pixar's Finding Nemo, which the idea that Disney would give him another shot behind the camera on a live-action film.

Stanton produced the movie "John Carter," which was poorly received and led to a "precedent-setting $200 million write-down for Disney earlier this summer."

Stanton won two Oscars for his animation work on 2008 "Wall-E" and the first "Finding Nemo" movie. The 2003 fish tale grossed $867.9 million worldwide, as it was Pixar's second-highest grossing film and the third biggest Disney animated film release ever, according to Deadline.

The original "Finding Nemo" will be released in 3D Sept. 14, 2012.

Deadline reported that nothing is firm but the studio is working on it.

According to the Huffington Post, back in May, Stanton told attendees at the Los Angeles Times Hero Complex Film Festival that he'd be interested in directing a sequel to the blockbuster Pixar film.

"I'm sure you'll see some other sequels of things as they grow because now we are not so blinded," Stanton was quoted as saying at the Hero Complex Film Festival. "It's the originals that keep us really going and it's the sequels that are like comfort food, and I think it's the same way for the audience."

"Finding Nemo" told the story of an overprotective clownfish, Marlin, whose son was captured by a diver, described on BBC.

The movie starred the voice talent of Albert Brooks as Marlin, and talk show host Ellen DeGeneres as his goofy, forgetful companion Dory. Dory helps Marlin try to find Nemo.

Speaking of sequels, this goes hand-in-hand with rumors of a "Toy Story 4" coming out.

According to Entertainment Wise, Tom Hanks, who voices "Toy Story" character Woody, let slip in a 2011 interview with the BBC that his granddaughter would be able to watch "Toy Story 4."

"I think they're working on it now," Hanks said.

Pixar superfans have used the comment as evidence that the animation house will be creating a fourth 'Toy Story' movie, despite the third film appearing to tie up any loose ends that could have led to a sequel.

"Toy Story 3" came out in 2010. The rumored film will reunite favorite characters Jessia, Buzz Lightyear, Woody, and others.
