Stanton rules out 'WALL-E' sequel
WALL-E director Andrew Stanton has ruled out a sequel to Pixar's sci-fi hit.

The filmmaker, who also directed Finding Nemo and co-wrote Toy Story 2 for the studio, told MTV that he "never considers sequels".

"I think that takes a lot of hubris to think that your idea is going to live on and on, and I always love the idea of something just being contained and done," he explained.

Asked if he has any ideas about where to take the characters in a hypothetical follow-up, he replied: "Not for me, no. We work on these things for so long, that we have a hard time simply thinking that the [first] film is ever going to be done.

"I'm not against sequels, and I've certainly experienced personally and seen secondhand great sequels, but I don’t go in with that intent."
