It’s been hit-and-miss territory thus far when it comes to Pixar sequels. On one hand, there are the twoToy Storysequels, both of which carry on the studio’s lineage of heady, adult thematic ideas that have given new classics likeWALL-E,Ratatouille,Up,The Incredibles, and, of course, the originalToy Story. Similar fascination can be found in their lesser yet still quite strong features, fromInside OutandA Bug’s LifetoFinding NemoandMonsters Inc., but are not found in the two most recent sequels from the studio,Monsters UniversityandCars 2; for what it’s worth, the originalCarswasn’t particularly notable for much more than vocal turns fromGeorge CarlinandPaul Newman....

Geremy Jasper’s feature debutPatti Cake$was one of my favorite films of 2017 and it instantly marked him as a director to watch. So I watched as he inexplicably spent all of 2018 on the sidelines. No development deals, no rumors of a follow-up, nada. In fact, earlier this year, nearly every Sundance story out of the trades seemed to go out of its way to citePatti Cake$as a cautionary tale – an example of a film selling for a lot of money in Park City, only to flop in theaters....
