I'm not sure...one of the great things about Pixar films is that they're usually structured more around the emotional journey and developing relationships of a character or group of characters, as opposed to "a bunch of guys having crazy adventures". If you go back and make an unnecessary sequel, you often have to unpick the conclusion of the previous film and cheapen its emotional closure, something that would be quite harmful to something like Finding Nemo or Monsters. Inc, which had quite poignant endings.
A good sequel would find ways to find different emotional issues to explore with the same characters and universe, developing the charcters further, show different sides to them without undermining what you established in the original, something that Toy Story 2 accomplished wonderfully. Could they do it again? Perhaps; the universe and characters of The Incredibles seems diverse enough to make a good sequel, and I think another Toy Story might work, so long as it's one Pixar want to make, not one Disney's finance department want to make. Anything else is pushing it, I think, but hey, maybe Pixar could prove me wrong again...
