Is Pixar planning on producing some “Finding Nemo” sequels?

What with “Toy Story 3” in theaters right now, “Cars 2” due
to debut next summer and a sequel to “Monsters, Inc.” reportedly in the works,
one has to wonder what other follow-ups Pixar Animation Studios has planned.

Well, based on the domain names that The Walt Disney Company
registered today and yesterday, it looks like Marlin, Dory and Nemo may soon be
heading off for another aquatic adventure or two.

Don’t believe me? Then check out the names that Disney’s
attorneys  just registered:

Now please keep in mind that just because the Mouse grabs a
domain name does not mean that a motion picture is now in active development.
But – then again – let’s remember that this is the Company that registered the
following domain names …

… back on January 16, 2009. A full nine months before Disney
publicly admitted that it was moving forward with production of “Pirates of the
Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.” So sometimes it really does pay to pay attention
to the various domain names that The Walt Disney Company registers.

So what do you folks think? Given how well “Toy Story 3”
turned out, would you welcome some “Finding Nemo” sequels? Or do you think that
Pixar should forget about doing all of these follow-up films (for a while,
anyway) and just concentrate on producing original projects?
