I don't think that many people know about this, but between 2004 and 2006, Pixar and Disney were not on the best of terms. As a result of this, Pixar had decided not to renew their contract. This resulted in the creation of Circle 7 Animation, which was to produce sequels for Toy Story, Monsters Inc. and Finding Nemo. Pixar was not happy about this. In the end however, Pixar was able to come to a agreement with Disney, and Circle 7 was shut down. The scripts for these films have not seen the light of day.
Believe it or not, I have been trying to make articles on the lost production materials of these cancelled Circle 7 sequels to Pixar's films (specifically, Monsters, Inc. 2: Lost in Scaradise, though I would eventually get myself to their version of Toy Story 3 and Finding Nemo 2) for about four months since I joined the wiki, only to have my motivation for them fail to materialize due to scheduling conflicts with real life, being too busy fixing other articles on the wiki or having a difficult time finding references for my articles. Monsters, Inc. 2 was actually planned to be my first article on the wiki, but I later decided to focus my energy (no pun intended) on the cancelled 2003 Daredevil video game for the PlayStation 2, Xbox and PC due to it being easier to find sources for it and my interest on Unseen64's video on the cancelled game. I eventually settled on doing one article per month due to my strict free time.
But thanks to the sources you provided on this thread, I may actually have the courage to start working on them and be confident that I'll deliver a good quality article on them soon.
Despite the frustrations of normal day life we go through, the best thing to do about it is still being happy for our friends and family.

Good to know that someone else cares about this search. I am still looking for more sources, so stay tuned!
To give a rough idea of what there is out there about these three projects, here is what I've found through my own research throughout the years: Toy Story 3 and Monsters, Inc. 2: Lost in Scaradise both had general stories released. Toy Story 3 involved Buzz getting recalled to Taiwan (there was some art released) and Monsters, Inc. 2 involved Mike and Sully getting lost in the human world while looking for Boo. Both of those were confirmed to have had scripts written for them, but they were still in the early stages of scripting when they were cancelled. Finding Nemo 2 never had any information released except that it was in development, so there might not have been any materials produced at all. Additionally, Pixar did not look at any production material for these three films when Pixar started developing them. (As a side note, I weirdly love how dated that article is to the point that they referred to "Bolt" and "Tangled" as "American Dog" and "Rapunzel", respectively.)

I'm interested in what the planned Finding Nemo sequel was going to be about. Maybe it was an early Finding Dory. If so I'd love to see how it compared to the real thing. If not, maybe it could be the potential basis for movie 3 (which I'm really hoping will happen).

When Finding Dory was made, they didn't look at anything for the Circle 7 Finding Nemo 2, so it likely was a completely different idea. And since Pixar said they didn't want to look at anything Circle 7 did for any of the sequels, it's unlikely anything would work its way into any further sequels.

For articles, my suggestion would be to go to the Wikipedia pages for Circle 7, Toy Story 3, Monster's University, and Finding Dory. The "Production" sections of the three films have something written up about Circle 7's versions, and those should have embedded sources, and then Circle 7's page has sources about the entire company, in addition to the movies.

I agree. Finding any production materials for the Circle 7 films will be difficult. Since Disney and Pixar made up, the Circle 7 stuff was probably disposed or poorly archived. There might be something somewhere, maybe some of the writers have the scripts with them.

I guess it's for the best. I mean, it's hard to compare to a movie about Dory imo. I've thought about writing a script for a Finding 3 myself though.
Also, it is good to see that there is interest in this. Thank you.
Thank you. I'm not sure how I can help, but this intrigues me. After Home on the Range BOMBED at the box office, Disney was in a bit of a pickle. Pixar wanting to do its own thing didn't help. Anything we can get from Circle 7 will help us understand this very tumultuous time in Disney's history.

I've found this.
Make account, wait nearly a year to do anything with it.
