Hello, and welcome to a jam packed post of Pixar news! Things have been pretty quiet around here since Lightyear <\/em>was released, but D23 brought a lot of noise! We weren’t able to cover it due to technical issues, but we’re here now, and even more excited. The annual convention was held a few weeks ago and we\u2019ve finally calmed down enough to talk about it all. In addition to details about upcoming projects, fans were treated to brand new announcements. Read on for the full line-up!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gorgeous!<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The new film from Peter Sohn unveiled a new poster and artwork. Already inviting comparisons to Osmosis Jones<\/em> and Inside Out<\/em>, Sohn\u2019s second feature is sure to stand out. I for one am especially excited since The Good Dinosaur<\/em> is one of my most beloved movies. The minimalist poster even promises something new, a meeting between two vastly different elements, the possibility of connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Sequel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Speaking of Inside Out<\/em>, the movie is getting a part two! I\u2019m sure I speak for everyone when I say that no one saw that coming. My nephew sagely pointed out that some stories don\u2019t need sequels. I agree. Pete Docter wasn\u2019t interested in one back when people were asking about it a year or so after the first movie came out. But in Inside Out 2<\/em>, the cast will return with a new emotion. Which shall it be? And what color will it be? Probably angst. Although I\u2019d love to see a bright pink emotion. Docter had mentioned ennui and a few others that didn\u2019t make it in the original. Whatever the movie is, seeing a teenage Riley should be a lot of fun! I\u2019m hoping she\u2019s a 4*TOWNIE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take me to your leader<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Directed by Adrian Molina, Elio <\/em>follows the titular character when he\u2019s confused for Earth\u2019s intergalactic ambassador after a journey through space. Not Pixar\u2019s first alien characters, but these are not plastic toys. The colors and art are very appealing. And the aliens are funky. I like Elio already. Details are sparse, but it already promises to be original and vibrant. It’s slated for a 2024 release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Play ball<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Win or Lose<\/em>, the new Disney Plus series about a middle school softball team will premiere in 2023. Will Forte stars as Coach Dan. There isn’t much known about the series, but I’m looking forward to the inevitable Easter Eggs. It’s also cool that the studio is releasing more stories about the younger set. No doubt they will be meaningful, but the simplicity is something to celebrate too. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
