Disney Just Dropped 5 NEW LOOKS at Upcoming Movies and Shows

It’s an exciting time to be a Disney and Pixar movie fan because they’ve teased LOTS of new projects we’ll be seeing soon!

With so many big projects coming out in theaters and on digital streaming platforms, there’s a lot to keep up with right now. Disney and Pixar have been a powerhouse when it comes to unique animation and films with heartfelt storylines, and now we’re getting a look at a few NEW upcoming projects.

While Disney and Pixar previously announced a few upcoming projects, we haven’t had much of an update on some of those since they were initially announced. Now, it seems that Disney Pixar is FINALLY pulling back the curtain a bit and giving us an inside look at a few projects.

The Hollywood Reporter notes that Disney has chosen a director for the next Incredibles film. Peter Sohn is set to direct the upcoming Incredibles 3, and the film’s screenwriter and creator of the Incredibles characters, Brad Bird, is stepping back from the director’s chair to focus on continuing the screenplay.

Bird (along with Soul’s Dana Murray) achieved a new height of success when the critically and commercially successful animated series of The Incredibles and The Incredibles 2 raked in $1.8 billion at the box office combined. So if you’re wondering why Peter Sohn’s name sounds familiar to Disney animation, it’s because he’s been associated with some major Disney animated films. Most recently, his accomplished works include Elemental and The Good Dinosaur, and he has worked with Bird across both previous Incredibles films. He’s also a Pixar animated film voice veteran, lending his vocal talents to movies such as Ratatouille, Monsters University, and Lightyear.

While not much is known about the plot for the upcoming Incredibles 3 film yet, we’re sure it’s in good hands with directors and screenplay writers who have been involved with the superheroes’ storylines from the very beginning.

Disney also gave us a new look at what’s to come in Toy Story 5!

Variety reports that during Disney Pixar’s CCO Peter Docter’s induction into the Annecy’s Walk of Fame, he brought along a sneak peek of one of Pixar’s most anticipated upcoming films. Toy Story 5 is slated for a summer 2026 release.

Docter has described the Toy Story 5 storyline to be one where “Toys Meet Tech,” as the film follows a now eight-year-old Bonnie discovering her new toy tablet. Here’s a sneak peek at some NEW concept art for the film.

Docter also confirmed the return of Tom Hanks as Woody and Joan Cusack as Jessie,  along with a host of new characters yet to be introduced. The studio is also celebrating the 30th birthday of the fan-favorite franchise this year. Toy Story’s 1995 release made history as the first feature-length computer-animated film ever released. The Toy Story franchise has since received 18 Academy Award nominations, won 3 Academy Awards and a Special Achievement Award, taken home best animated feature for both Toy Story 3 and Toy Story 4, as well as won best original song for “We Belong Together.”

A few other announcements were made by Disney Pixar at Annecy, too! Docter also gave an exclusive look at another upcoming film. Hoppers tells the story of Mabel (voiced by Piper Curda), who wants to protect her favorite local pond from a highway construction project. She justifies stealing the “Hoppers” technology, which places her consciousness into a robotic beaver and allows her to uncover mysteries within the animal world beyond her imagination.

This animated movie is set to bring a refreshing humor to this modern ecological adventure. Hoppers will feature notable voice talents such as Jon Hamm and “Saturday Night Live” actor and writer Bobby Moynihan.

Release Date Announced for Pixar’s Newest Movie

There’s MORE! A new film titled Gatto is also expected to be released in June 2027 by Disney Pixar. This film will be brought to us by the creative minds behind the beloved Luca film, director Enrico Casarosa and producer Andrea Warren.

This new Pixar film takes place in Venice, Italy, where, after years of maneuvering the seaside city, a black cat named Nero begins to question whether he’s lived the right lives. A partial music-lover and non-swimming feline who is indebted to a local mob boss, Nero finds himself in quite a predicament and is forced to forge an unexpected friendship with Maya, a street artist who adopts him against his will.
