Buzz on a possible Monsters Inc. 2 began to heat up this past summer when Up hit theaters, especially since that film's director, Peter Docter, was also the mind behind the original Monsters Inc. Docter wouldn't say for sure that a sequel was coming, but you could tell that Pixar was at the very least considering it.

Now, though, it's become a reality – and Pixar has even announced a release date of November 16^th 2012. Also announced alongside Monsters Inc. 2 was Pixar's Brave (formerly titled Bear and the Bow), which will mark Pixar's first female-driven film (Reese Witherspoon plays the lead), and will arrive in theaters on June 15^th, 2012.

So who's excited for a little Monsters Inc. 2? And heck, who's excited to watch more than one Pixar film each year? I know I am!

In a somewhat unsurprising move, The Green Hornet (starring Seth Rogen as the iconic comic character) has shifted release dates from a prime holiday slot of December 22 to the less enthusiastic date of January 14^th, 2011. Some claim the move was due to Sony not being all that pleased with the footage they're seeing, but others – including Rogen and Sony – say it has more to do with the fact that they're converting the movie to 3D and there's too much 3D competition on that original December 22 date.

The good news about this 3D conversion is that they'll be incorporating it into the film during the production process instead of after, which means it should look better than some of those other rush jobs (i.e.: Clash of the Titans).

And speaking of rush jobs, it looks like M. Night Shyamalan's The Last Airbender is being converted to 3D prior to its July 2^nd release date. I'm not a fan of this whole "convert the entire film to 3D within the span of a couple months" thing because I see what it did to Clash of the Titans, and I feel it's going to sour some of these big spectacle films. Shyamalan's Last Airbender looks really cool; do we need the 3D conversion at this point? Can't we just watch it like we've always watched it…in 2D? At some point moviegoers are going to get fed up with the crappy converted 3D, and it's going to hurt the good 3D. Will it happen this summer? Possibly.

 I dunno – I give up. What do you think? Are you paying to see all these films in 3D no matter what, or are you doing research beforehand to see which films are converted to 3D and which are shot in 3D?
