The latest in Pixar, since 2004.

Upcoming Pixar is the largest, longest running, and most prominent Pixar news source on the internet. Since 2004, Upcoming Pixar has been a trusted and leading source for all the latest Pixar news; relating to its feature films, short films, the company, and more.

 

The Pixar fan blog came into existence as a modest Blogspot blog in November 2004 as a hobby for creator Thomas Huxley, compiling articles about the studio & its releases, with original content from Huxley appearing shortly after.

 

Since then, it had grown into a respectable news blog detailing all the latest from the Emeryville studio. Within a year, Upcoming Pixar had already established itself as one of the forefront blogs for Pixar news.

 

Today, the site maintains a dynamic presence among Pixar fans globally, with readers around the world accessing articles daily via the blog, and via its Twitter & Facebook accounts. As part of the esteemed Pixar Planet Network since very early days, Upcoming Pixar continues today in its mission to bring timely Pixar news with integrity and independence through a friendly, accessible editorial voice.

 

While we do have a long-standing working relationship with Pixar Animation Studios & The Walt Disney Company, Upcoming Pixar (and the Pixar Planet Network) is not affiliated with the studios or its entities. We are a completely independent fan blog and our opinions and/or views do not reflect those of either company.

Our Editorial Pillars

A blog by fans, for all fans

While we have emerged as one of the most prominent Pixar news sources throughout our years of operation, we continue to honor our roots as being founded by a fan, with a mission to serve all Pixar fans around the world. We keep accessibility and editorial equity for all of our readers as front of mind, and ensure that we remain a family-friendly publication for all ages.

Proudly independent

While we do have a friendly, long standing journalistic relationship with Disney•Pixar, we are steadfast in our editorial independence. Our editorial makes independent content decisions based on our Editorial Policy and can never be influenced outside of the Editorial Team. Content sponsorships and advertisements never drive our editorial decisions, and any sponsored content is clearly labelled as such.

Driven by fan passion

Upcoming Pixar is part of the Pixar Planet Network, an independent non-profit association that serves to unite Pixar fans across the world through its content. Pixar Planet has an entirely volunteer-based organization, and all income received is invested back into the community – mainly through giveaways and community outreach programs. Funds are also invested in our technology infrastructure and online publishing training programs.
