10 Long-Delayed Sequels That Were Worth The Wait

10 Cloverfield Lane is no ordinary sequel. For starters, the film isn't really a direct follow-up to found-footage monster movie Cloverfield at all, but a project that - in the words of producer J.J. Abrams - simply shares the "DNA" of its predecessor. Another reason it's so different to the usual franchise movie? Unlike most, this sequel has arrived a whole eight years on from the original.

Sequel to: Toy Story 2

Time between movies: 11 years

Due to the nature of what they do, Pixar always take more time than it usually takes for Hollywood to knock out a sequel. Toy Story 3, however, wasn’t originally in the studio’s plans, with Disney originally taking the sequel to a rival animation house during its gestation period. Thankfully, Pixar took back the reins, and after a long development process birthed the greatest animated sequel of all-time.

Funnier, more profound and (owing to the advance in animation in the 11 years passed) better-looking than the previous two Toy Story‘s, Toy Story 3 is one of the greatest – if not the greatest – trilogy-capper ever made.

In 2018, the third Toy Story movie will get its own long-delayed sequel, but it’s hard to imagine Pixar being able to top Woody and co. facing off against an evil teddy named Lots-O’-Huggin’ Bear.
