Why no sequels?

Woodland Creatures is perhaps one of our biggest hits that might actually be accepted right off the bat to make a sequel, but we have no plans to make a sequel out of it.
"There is a thing called beating a dead horse into the ground. Much of the humor related to Woodland Creatures was based on the very fact that the actors were actually playing the animals. A joke that worked for barely an hour and a half long movie, but will the effect be just as huge for an audience whose already seen it all before? And what kind of storyline could we give a Woodland Creatures 2. The first one dealt with hunters, other forest creatures and I really don't think we need ANOTHER movie to preach about environmental awareness(saving the trees and omg global warming we humans are soooooo evil!!!!!!!!!!!) What would the characters do then? get captured and shipped to a zoo? It'd be a live action Madagascar. It's a film that can't have a sequel and the Stinger with Oolab at the end of the first one was to tease those who sat through the credits. Not making a sequel is for everyone's own good."

Woodland Creatures may not be the only film to apparently get cut short. We all know Josh Collins' removal of the LA Wolf series. But is the Zelda series over after only 2 films?
"Maybe, maybe not. I'm still trying to decide if I want to make a third movie to the Zelda franchise. Maybe another writer will offer a reboot and come up with more original premise to a film that can basically be played at home on the Nintendo console."

There will be a sequel to Earth 3K, but Collins has not pitched a 3rd idea to Stark.
"I'd like to see how this one turns out. It's really going to be based on if moviegoers want to see a third installment. The first one did...okay. You know the old saying '2's company, 3's a crowd"

Fantastic Mansion, another successful film appears to be one of the few for certain sequels in Collins' lineup. It will be a different story but with the name 'Fantastic' to keep to the spirit of the Fantastic films. It will also be in 3D.
"I liked the idea of making a new plot, almost a completely different film with generally the same spirit of using half the title. It will star familiar faces from the first film, but they are playing different characters. I know it might confuse some moviegoers, but hopefully they'll be invested in the characters and plot not so much the actors who are playing them."

There might be a Karate Kat sequel though. Make sense of that!


Yes, after her big GMA win, Abbie will return with another Collins drama film that might be an award contender if the hand is dealt right. I don't want naysayers to count her out. I was hearing reporters speaking as if her win was a fluke, that she's destined to only go down. On her Oprah appearance it felt like Oprah was sitting there wondering why she's wasting her own time talking to Abbie, and that was when she was only nominated. Well not on my watch! As for Dakota, I hope good things come for her too in this film.

Looks like our films may be done releasing this season after Orphan Train. It was a tough season both box office and critically. It sucks being the reason why something isn't going to come back(stop-motion animation) then again Stark didn't have a lot of faith in animated films before until many recent movies made huge hits. CMP writers may be able to salvage stop motion if they can make a better quality hit than Wind in the Willows.
