'Cars' sequel likely: Disney CEO Iger

Yesterday, in a post about Disney's quarterly financial results announcement, I wrote:

"During the earnings call, Disney President and CEO Bob Iger was particularly upbeat about Pixar's popular franchises, such as Toy Story and Cars."

Well, an article just posted at Forbes.com says there's more to that confidence than meets the eye, especially when it comes to Cars.

Disney, the article explains, is actively building the Cars franchise, and will continue to do so well into the next decade. This will include new merchandise, theme park attractions, et cetera. When it comes to attractions, it's "fairly certain you'll see more creativity and investment... [related to] that franchise.''

But the biggest news of all contained in the article is Iger's disclosure that it's "a relatively good bet that ultimately they'll be a sequel" to Cars.

Big news indeed...
