Disney just dropped a BUNCH of big news updates on upcoming animation projects.

Maybe there was something in the water this week, but Disney has released a litany of information about upcoming animated projects from Pixar, plus announced the newest iteration of one of its most popular children’s series this side of 2000. So buckle up, as we’ve gathered them all!

 

 

The NEW Mr. Incredible?

Back at the 2024 D23 Ultimate Fan Event, Disney confirmed that a third Incredibles film was being “developed” by series creator Brad Bird, though further details were sparse. Now, according to The Hollywood Reporter, Bird — who wrote and directed the 2004 original and its 2018 sequel, which have combined to gross nearly $2 billion in box office receipts — will only be writing the threequel, with Peter Sohn stepping in to direct.

Sohn is a longtime Pixar staple, having directed The Good Dinosaur and Elemental as well as working on a litany of other Pixar films in both a production capacity and as a voice actor. He’s also a longtime protege of Bird, having worked with the latter on every animated film he’s made, including both Incredibles films.
