Circle 7 Animation Scripts for Pixar Sequels

SuperCarlinBrothers did a good video explaining that whole story, if you're interested (here), although they don't go into the movies themselves so much. I personally don't think that the materials from Circle 7 would add so much more, but I am curious if they if they would be more like Lion King 2 or like Pocahontas 2 in terms of sequel quality.

Found some more images, here you go:

Thanks for the help!

I swear I once saw a forum with the daughter of the person who wrote the pre-pixar toy story 3 script. He was apparently upset at pixar because despite them saying they didn't read his script, he felt they ripped off the idea of the opening sequence. She uploaded some concept art, but said she couldn't release the script for legal reasons. Honestly, while id love to find the pre-pixar toy story 3 script, I'm more interested in the Monsters Inc sequel. I was disappointed that they went for a prequel with Monsters university, since I felt there was so much potential for a sequel with the ending to Monsters Inc. (I may have even written an awful fanfiction for one). Even if it's not great, I'd love to read something that's a sequel to it and follows the ending.

HOLY CRAP! Where did you find this!? Is this the real thing!? Do you have any other Circle 7 sequel scripts!?

I have finally read through the entirety of the draft script for Finding Nemo 2 and I'm overall very mixed about it.

For the positives I can say about it, I will say that the script itself was overall very professional looking and I caught no spelling/grammar errors while reading it. In addition, I liked to think how much of the script's plot points coincided with Pixar's later 2016 animated sequel Finding Dory before it was actually made (like one member of the gang (i.e. Marlin) gets captured by fishermen and taken to the human world, in this case, a Broadway-like show featuring dolphins) and there were moments in the script that genuinely warmed my heart like Nemo not hesitating to go out to save his father Marlin and taking his long-lost brother Remy and Dory with him and the ending of the four becoming more like a family and returning to the reef was overall satisfying.

For my final positive thought, I felt that dialogue overall, while weak in some places, was well-written and believable for the most part and the new characters introduced in the script were overall okay in their own right.

Now onto the negatives section.


First of all, I felt that the conflict between Nemo and Remy was too cliched (i.e. it turns out that Remy is a better athlete than Nemo is, Remy gets more liked by his class mates, and they inevitably fight over if Remy is actually Nemo's brother and if he is Marlin's and his deceased wife Coral's lost son) and predictable, to the point where their banter when they are not getting along becomes annoying to read. While their relationship does get better as the script goes on and they both become more tolerable, I feel like half of the time I never really get to know if Remy really is Nemo's lost brother. 


Which brings me to my next point, is that I feel that some canon characters suffer from Flanderization. While I could understand why Marlin would try to be more cautious around not playing favorites with either Nemo or Remy and him wanting to return back to the ocean as soon as he got captured, I feel that it is out of character for him to jokingly ask for a drink after being exhausted at Nemo's birthday party when Nemo swims away and the repeated gag of Dory reminding him to breathe when he is frustrated. I also find Nemo to be more like a brat who wants to be the only surviving son of Marlin in the first half of the script (though as I said earlier, he does get better), and most disappointingly, when it is revealed that Gill is no longer the leader of the tank gang anymore as the members have apparently gone their separate ways soon after freeing themselves from their plastic bags. I feel this is disappointing because I saw the crew as a unified team who helped Nemo return back to the ocean in the original film and it means that we never get to see the other members like Bubbles and Gurgle in action.


Finally, I feel that the script's story was overall a rehash of the original film with a few new ideas here and there (I personally thought that Nemo and Remy's sibling rivalry could have been better executed if they had tried to understand each other more before getting into a fight).

---

These are my thoughts I wanted to share on the Finding Nemo 2 script. While I do feel that most of the problems I had with script could have been fixed or improved on if there was more time in development to fix them, I am still aware that it is a script to a cancelled project that never saw the light of day. I also feel that it's an overall average script that is professionally written but has some major flaws.

In the end, I'm glad that Pixar gave us Finding Dory instead.       

I'm more interested for the Circle 7 Toy Story 3 Because It's more interesting than Monsters Inc. 2 and Finding Nemo 2
