Pixar Swaps ‘Toy Story 4’ and ‘The Incredibles 2’ Release Dates!

Well, this news will either make you happy or sad depending on how you feel about either film, but Pixar has announced that they’re swapping the release dates of Toy Story 4 and The Incredibles 2. The Incredibles 2 is now set to be released to theaters on June 15, 2018 and Toy Story 4 on June 21, 2019.

So if you’re a fan of The Incredibles, you’re getting the sequel earlier. If you were waiting for the Toy Story sequel, you gotta wait one more year. I’m neutral about both films, so this news doesn’t really affect me.

What do you all think of this swap?

My Thoughts: ZOOTOPIA (2016)

When I had first heard that Disney was working on the movie that would become Zootopia, I was incredibly excited! It was going to feature anthropomorphic animals (which I love) and be part of the crime/whodunnit genre (which I also love)! When the movie was released, it received mass critical praise, made over a billion dollars in the worldwide box office, and was just adored by everyone! What did I think of the film? Let’s see!

Oh, there will be SPOILERS!

In exciting news today, Disney has officially announced their new film, Wreck-It Ralph 2. The sequel will have Ralph leave his arcade home and wreck the Internet. It is set to be released on March 9, 2018 pushing Disney’s Gigantic back to November of that year.

Are you excited for this film? I actually really am even though I’m not that fond of the first film! There’s just something about Ralph wrecking the Internet that attracts me!

‘Moana’ Teaser Trailer Debuts!

We finally got the teaser trailer for Disney’s upcoming film, Moana, and it’s looking amazing! The animation is gorgeous, the characters (especially the pig) look awesome, and it looks like a great deal of fun! I wish we saw more characters though, but this was a joy to see after the tragedy that happened in my hometown this morning!

What do you think of the teaser trailer? Are you excited for the movie?

Actor Alan Young Dies at Age 96!

The sad news today is that actor Alan Young has passed away at the age of 96! Alan Young (1919-2016) was an actor in films and TV shows with many knowing him from his role on the sitcom, Mr. Ed.

But, Disney fans knew him best as the voice of the stingy Scottish Scrooge McDuck in various films/TV shows from the 1980s to the present.

He also was the voice of Mr. Flaversham in The Great Mouse Detective.

Mr. Young, you shall be missed!

My Thoughts: THE GOOD DINOSAUR (2015)

How do I feel about the film? Well, let’s take a look.

‘Finding Dory’ Trailer Debuts!

The first trailer for Finding Dory has debuted. What do you think? I’m not all that impressed, to be honest, as the trailer didn’t give me any new info that I didn’t know before. But, it was cool seeing new characters. In the end, the film isn’t looking all that interesting to me anymore.

Plot-based ‘Zootopia’ Trailer Released!

We finally have a full-length, plot-based trailer for Disney’s upcoming film, Zootopia! And I, for one am just loving it! Every new thing I see of this movie, I get more and more excited for! The only thing I wasn’t too fond of was the naturalist club joke in the film as I know I won’t be able to watch this film with certain people who would find that inappropriate.
