Brad Bird has dismissed Pixar’s interest in a Ratatouille sequel, telling Collider that he has no desire to continue Remy’s story and that “we told that story.” Pixar executives had floated the idea over the years, but Bird is focused on other projects (including a future Incredibles film) and believes the original Ratatouille stands on its own, despite fan interest and occasional comments from collaborators.
Netflix used its Annecy showcase to unveil Brad Bird’s Ray Gunn, presenting the opening seven minutes and confirming a December 18 release, while also previewing Ghostbusters: Night Shift and Charlie vs. the Chocolate Factory—marking a broader, more varied and mature slate for Netflix’s animated lineup.
Annecy’s 2026 Special Events lineup features Brad Bird’s Ray Gunn, Pixar’s Gatto, and Netflix’s Ghostbusters animated series preview, plus Ricky Gervais’ Alley Cats and a Rick & Morty spin-off; the program also includes Warner Bros. Animation’s Daffy Season, Adult Swim’s President Curtis and My Two Cars, sneak peeks of The Cat in the Hat, Hexed, Rogue Trooper and Forgotten Island, behind-the-scenes looks at Wildwood from Laika, and masterclasses from Mike Judge, signaling a wide-ranging, high-profile festival slate.
Brad Bird, the creator of the first two Incredibles films, will not direct Incredibles 3 but will write the script, with Peter Sohn taking over as director due to Bird's scheduling conflicts. The film is expected around 2027 or 2028, and despite the change in director, Pixar's collaborative filmmaking process will ensure a high-quality production. The Incredibles franchise remains popular, with the sequel nearly doubling the original's box office.
