Disney D23 recap: Animation, Features, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars and Parks

[Spock 20,290]

The all Disney version of Comic-Con ends today and, besides totally snatching their weave, they announced SO MANY COOL ****

 

WALT DISNEY ANIMATION STUDIOS:

 

- Zootopia: Shakira was added to the cast as a gazelle and the footage they showed got a really good positive response, comes out next year

- Gigantic: The newly announced project, directed by Nathan Greno (Tangled), will take place in Spain during the Age of Discovery and find Jack working in tandem with Inma, an 11-year-old girl who just so happens to be a 60-foot-tall giant, in order to prevent evil storm giants from ruining everything. It will also feature songs by the Frozen song-writing duo (THIS SOUNDS AMAZING ), comes out in 2018

 

- Moana: One of the most anticipated films in Disney’s slate is Moana, a sweeping story which takes us to the world of the South Pacific some 2,000 years ago. Following the exploits of the strong-willed title character Moana, who happens to be a princess herself, the film sees the young girl attempting to fulfill her dream of being one of the world’s greatest navigators. Accompanied by an adorable pet pig, a haughty rooster, and a magical fish hook-wielding demigod named Maui (voiced by Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson), Moana will. Lin-Manuel Miranda from Hamilton and In The Heights will be one of the songwriters
 

PIXAR:

- Toy Story 4: will be a love story between Woody and Bo Peep. Buzz Lightyear will help Woody on his trek to find Bo Peep in order to reunite with his lady love. John Lasseter will return to direct, Rashida Jones is one of the writers

- Coco: Coco centers on a 12-year-old boy named Miguel, who is adept at playing the guitar. The clip we saw featured plenty of dancing skeletons and a rockin’ mariachi band that seemed straight out of Book of Life or Guacamelee. Honestly, though, we don’t know a heck of a whole lot about this flick just yet. Dia de los muertos inspired

- Finding Dory: will focus on Dory’s quest to reunite with her parents, who are located somewhere near Monterey, California. Famously forgetful, Dory (Ellen DeGeneres) remembers her homeland after getting sucked into an undertow, a traumatic experience which evidently awoke something within her. Joining returning cast members Ellen DeGeneres and Albert Brooks (as Marlon) are joined by Hayden Rolence as Nemo; Ed O’Neill as a curmudgeonly octopus named Hank; Ty Burrell as Bailey, a beluga whale who believes his naturally large skull is the product of a head injury; and Kaitlin Olson as a sweet-natured but confused whale shark named Destiny, who doesn’t seem to understand that she’s a shark, not a whale.

No info was given on Cars 3 or The Incredibles 2

STAR WARS:

Besides Felicity Jones, Mads Mikkelsen (Hannibal, Casino Royale), Diego Luna (Milk, Killing Them Softly), Ben Mendelsohn (Bloodline, Mississippi Grind), Donnie Yen (Ip Man, Blade II), Jiang Wen (Let the Bullets Fly, Devils on the Doorstep), Forest Whitaker (The Butler, The Last King of Scotland), Alan Tudyk (Con Man, Firefly), Riz Ahmed (Nightcrawler, Four Lions).

WALT DISNEY STUDIOS:
Shown off were the live action versions of Pete’s Dragon, The Jungle Book, and Sleeping Beauty, as well as (inevitably) the next Pirates of the Carribbean. The Pete’s Dragon footage was mysterious rather than whimsical, a big departure from the 1976 Disney classic that combined live action with cartoon. The Jungle Book looks gorgeous, even if it’s a little on the nose, humor-wise. Probably the biggest information to come out of this portion is that Orlando Bloom is returning to Pirates franchise to reprise the role of Will Turner in Pirates Of The Carribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales. Fun fact about that: When the film hits theaters in 2017 it will have been ten years since Bloom’s last appearance, which is the same amount of time Will Turner was cursed to captain the flying Dutchman at the end of At World’s End.

[Doogi 1,507]

Toy Story 4  

The Jungle Book Live-Action Re-make   

[Minaj 607]

Why? Cars is an amazing series.

The first was OK, the second was awful 

[Spock 20,290]

Why? Cars is an amazing series.

The first one was cute, the second one was a straight to DVD embarrassingly tragic and awful movie, especially for a studio of Pixar's caliber. And they don't warrant a series like, say, A Bug's Life or Up do

[Leo 3,000]

Besides John Lasseter (who for some reason is convinced they're a good idea), nope

 

WHAT Coco sounds so good

Sorry I meant Pixar releases! I should have clarified!

[RAMROD 109,666]

So many things to look forward to. I live tbh

And that is excluding CARS
