BSO was on hand at the Anaheim Convention Center for a sneak peak at the latest Pixar projects slated for release between now and 2019.
With a full order of long awaited sequels to brand feature films, in long and short form, Disney fanatics will be grateful to know the pause between projects won’t be a long one.
Here’s a rundown of what’s coming in the near future from Disney Pixar:
COCO
In theaters Nov. 22, 2017, “Coco” introduces Miguel, an aspiring musician whose family long ago banned music. Desperate to prove his talent and follow in the footsteps of his idol, Ernesto de la Cruz, Miguel makes a fateful decision and finds himself in the Land of the Dead, where he meets his extended family and charming trickster Hector (voice of Gael García Bernal). Together, they set off on an extraordinary journey to unlock the real story behind Miguel’s family history.
OLAF’S FROZEN ADVENTURE
The new “Frozen” holiday featurette, “Olaf’s Frozen Adventure” starring Kristen Bell as the voice of Anna, Josh Gad once more as the the voice of Olaf, Idina Menzel as the voice of Elsa, and Jonathan Groff as the voice of Kristoff.
INCREDIBLES 2
“Incredibles 2” features the return of Mr. and Mrs. Incredible (Craig T. Nelson and Holly Hunter), Violet (Sarah Vowell), Dash (newcomer Huck Milner) and Frozone (Samuel L. Jackson). The family is now in an expanded universe that includes new allies and a brand-new villain.
“Incredibles 2” hits theaters on June 15, 2018.
RALPH BREAKS THE INTERNET: WRECK-IT RALPH 2
Walt Disney Animation Studios’ follow-up to 2012’s “Wreck-It Ralph” leaves the arcade behind, venturing into the expansive universe of the internet—which may or may not survive Ralph’s not-so-light touch. Outcasts-turned-BFFs Ralph (voice of John C. Reilly) and Vanellope von Schweetz are reuniting with Fix-It Felix (voice of Jack McBrayer) and Sergeant Calhoun (voice of Jane Lynch).
“Ralph Breaks the Internet: Wreck-It Ralph 2” hits theaters on Nov. 21, 2018.
UNTITLED DISNEYTOON STUDIOS FILM
This yet to be titled film is directed by Klay Hall and Bobs Gannaway, and produced by Ferrell Barron. The theatrical feature film explores the future of aviation—taking moviegoers to the edge of discovery in the air—and beyond. “Untitled DTS Film” opens in theaters on April 12, 2019.
TOY STORY 4
Produced by Jonas Rivera (“Inside Out”), “Toy Story 4” is slated for release on June 21, 2019.
FROZEN 2 (TITLE TBA)
Directed by Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, and produced by Peter Del Vecho, Walt Disney Animation Studios’ feature-length follow-up to 2013’s Oscar®-winning film “Frozen” is slated for theaters on November 27, 2019. Bell, Gad, Menzel and Groff are reprising their roles in an all-new story.
UNTITLED DAN SCANLON MOVIE
Director Dan Scanlon, an all-new original feature film currently in production at Pixar Animation Studios. The story is set in a world with no humans—only elves, trolls and sprites—“anything that would be on the side of a van in the ’70s,” said the director.
“In the film, we’re going to tell the story of two teenage elf brothers whose father died when they were too young to remember him. But thanks to the little magic still left in the world, the boys embark on a quest that will allow them a chance to spend one last magical day with their father.”
Tomorrow BSO returns to D23 for a look at the Disney, Marvel Studios and Lucas Film new live-action features.
