Well, it’s that time of year: the time when Disney fans have their own personal convention, the D23, every two years. We’ve got a whole bunch of news/info regarding Disney’s upcoming animated films as well as the upcoming Pixar films, so I’ll do my best to summarize them below. Let’s begin!
My review of Hot Lead and Cold Feet is up and can be found here.
Voice actress Susan Sheridan has passed away at the age of 68. The actress (1947-2015) lent her voice to many animated shows including Moomin, Noddy’s Toyland Adventures, Jimbo and the Jet-Set, and Preston Pig.

I’ve always enjoyed anthropomorphic animals and this film is supposed to be a bit of a mystery/whodunnity/crime case sort of a film, which is something I also love! So far, Jason Bateman and Ginnifer Goodwin are the only announced voice actors.
In 2010, we got the third chapter in what would become an awesome trilogy along the lines of the original Star Wars, Back to the Future, The Lord of the Rings, etc. Toy Story 3 was a massive success both critically and commercially.
