Some Further Thoughts: TOY STORY 5, FROZEN III, ZOOTOPIA 2

The dust has settled for a bit…

These are some theories on who I think will be in charge of the three animated movie sequels announced by The Walt Disney Company the other day, because that’s always a concern of sorts for me when it comes to these movies… And also when they could possibly be released…

Why don’t we get the big one out of the way? That’s right… TOY STORY 5…

The announcement of TOY STORY 5 was unusual in that it didn’t give us any idea who is spearheading it. Now, TOY STORY 4 was similarly announced during an earnings call in October of 2014. It was the first official announcement of the movie’s existence following years of rumors coming from dubious sources… And on that day, we learned right away that it had a director (John Lasseter, who stepped down as director in mid-2017 prior to his prolonged ouster from the Disney company), two writers (Rashida Jones and Will McCormack, who left around that time as well), and was going to be a love story… But during that February earnings call, Bob Iger only stated that it was in the works, along with the two Disney Animation sequel films FROZEN III and ZOOTOPIA 2. No info on those, either… Just, they exist… It wasn’t too dissimilar to the March 2014 shareholder earnings call that officially confirmed that CARS 3 and INCREDIBLES 2 were in the works. Info was sparse on both…

In my previous post on the TOY STORY 5 announcement, I thought of who was part of the main crew of all four of the movies. Lasseter’s been out of Disney altogether since mid-2018, Pete Docter never directed a TOY STORY movie and is currently the Chief Creative Officer of Pixar, Andrew Stanton has been off directing live-action stuff and trying to get live-action features off the ground elsewhere, Lee Unkrich retired from the business entirely, and Josh Cooley is presumably still directing an animated TRANSFORMERS movie for Paramount… I’d imagine Docter and Stanton will at least write or contribute story material to the fifth TOY STORY, but I don’t see them being involved in other levels of the production. Does Unkrich un-retire (he’s not particularly old) and write, possibly even direct? Not sure. Perhaps another promising upstart director gets this one, much like how Josh Cooley got the TOY STORY 4 gig after years of story artist/supervisor work dating back to CARS. But who… Is the question. All the directors confirmed to make new Pixar features - Brian Fee, Kristen Lester, Rosana Sullivan, Aphton Corbin, Enrico Casarosa, and Domee Shi - are working on original stories… Maybe a short film director who has yet to get a gig - such as Brian Larsen or Bobby Rubio - will be director. Maybe someone I’ve never heard of before or even considered… After all, no one outside the walls of the studio knew that Enrico Casarosa had an original film in the works (LUCA), or that Adrian Molina was tackling a movie of his own after COCO (ELIO), or that Kelsey Mann was set to direct something, let alone an INSIDE OUT sequel. There’s a lot they don’t say, as much as they do say…

Release… Pixar currently has these dates locked for releases, post-INSIDE OUT 2:

06/13/2025 03/06/2026 06/19/2026

I’m thinking… Should production go smoothly, and not go through multiple writer changes like TOY STORY 4 did, it gets the June 2026 slot. That puts it… Seven years after TOY STORY 4. When TOY STORY 4 was announced, it was slated for summer 2017… That would’ve been seven years after TOY STORY 3, but again, those delays pushed it to summer 2019. TOY STORY 3, by contrast, took four years to come together. Development began following Disney’s acquisition of Pixar in early 2006 (erasing the old anti-sequel terms of the original contract between the two companies), was at first slated for summer 2009, but was released in summer 2010. TOY STORY 2 debuted four years after the first TOY STORY… Seven years is long, both TOY STORY 3 and TOY STORY 4 took what seemed like eons to come out.

As for those other release dates? I think those go to originals, of course. They’re the only other Pixar films we know about, and more originals is a good thing.

Now while we know what Pixar are releasing in 2024, original ELIO and sequel INSIDE OUT 2… We know next to nothing about what Walt Disney Animation Studios has on the horizon for after WISH’s holiday 2023 bow… And WISH wasn’t known to the public until this past autumn… Barely a year away from release. Outside of the two recently-announced sequels? Nothing. No hints on anything that’s cooking. We’ve known for a while - read: since November 2019 - that filmmakers Josie Trinidad, Suzi Yoonessi, and Marc Smith had original movies in production. If those are still a priority, then I’d imagine we’d be hearing about them soon. Walt Disney Animation Studios runs differently from Pixar now, what with Jennifer Lee as Chief Creative Officer, not how John Lasseter used to oversee both WDAS and Pixar… Don Hall, for example, was curiously whisked off of his STRANGE WORLD to take over RAYA AND THE LAST DRAGON from its previous directors, ditto Carlos Lopez Estrada. Estrada had an original of his own in the works at the time, until he was assigned to RAYA. He left Disney altogether after that, meaning that his original is either dead (reportedly titled FOSTER, which shared the name with a cancelled Blue Sky musical) or it was given to another director. Hall later resumed STRANGE WORLD and the movie debuted nearly two years after RAYA. (Worth noting, RAYA was originally supposed to be a fall 2020 release, with ENCANTO following fall 2021, and then STRANGE WORLD fall 2022.)

So, which movie bows first? And when?

FROZEN III was inevitable given the billion dollar success of both movies, individually. FROZEN II came out six years after the first one, in fact it wasn’t announced that it existed until a year and a half after the first FROZEN came out. FROZEN II is now 3 1/2 years old, so they took a while to even confirm that this movie exists. Do Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee return to direct? Definitely no on the latter, as Lee is busy running the studio. Chris Buck is director of WISH, so if Buck’s directing, it won’t be out for a little while then. If neither are directing, and they gave it to someone else (maybe one of the directors of the half-hour OLAF’S FROZEN ADVENTURE), then it could come sooner than later… Again, with such little information, it is hard to gauge.

Ditto ZOOTOPIA 2. Byron Howard directed the first film alongside Rich Moore, the latter left Disney a while ago. Howard, and ZOOTOPIA co-director Jared Bush, took on ENCANTO afterwards. Is Howard returning? Or is he pursuing another original project? Jared Bush is involved in ZOOTOPIA 2, and it’s possibly he could direct, or he has an original lined up for himself as well. I’d imagine they’d both at least write it or contribute story material. Josie Trinidad has an original movie lined up, but given her story work on the first ZOOTOPIA and that she directed most of ZOOTOPIA+. Trent Correy, who also directed on ZOOTOPIA+ and directed the Short Circuit short DROP, could be the director, too. Or he has an original lined up…

Release dates? Well, here is Walt Disney Animation Studio’s post-WISH slate so far…

11/20/2024 11/26/2025 11/25/2026

While Pixar has smoothly moved into doing two features every other year, WDAS still does one movie a year… And two sequels being on the boards makes thing a little complicated for the originals. Do we semi-repeat 2018-2019, where we went a whole four years without a new not-sequel Disney animated movie? Or does WDAS wrangle another movie into a doable slot?

Pixar, as said before, releases two movies in both 2024 and 2026… 2025, just one… Who’s to say Disney can’t take one of their placeholder dates for a “live-action” movie and gave it to a WDAS movie? Like, I can imagine one of those two sequels - likely ZOOTOPIA 2, since FROZEN is always more of a wintery sort of thing for obvious reasons - taking such a date… Say, March 2025? That’s the earliest feasible date, though…

FROZEN III, if it were truly coming out next year, than they’ve kept a hell of a tight lip on it… I don’t think it’ll be next year’s WDAS movie, nor ZOOTOPIA 2…

Earliest I can see either is sometime in 2025. It’s harder to gauge because originals exist, and WDAS only does one a year as of now. Again, that could change. They could surprise and say that they’re doing two in 2025 or so, and one of those two is a sequel.

As I said in the previous post on this matter… Why don’t they double up their efforts so they can get more originals out without having sequels pushing them back? In a way that doesn't put pressure on the crews, and doesn't crunch anyone... I think it can be done: That Vancouver studio they recently opened... Can that be upped the same way the defunct Orlando studio was? The Orlando unit helped on features like THE LION KING, and then whole features were made in-house there starting with MULAN. By the early 2000s, Disney Feature was able to get two features out every few years because of this. Both units seemed to work well in delivering movies without much strain. It only went kablooey because of outside circumstances, but look at Pixar. They’re doing two a year just fine despite outside hardships (COVID-19, LIGHTYEAR flopping at the box office), DreamWorks is doing that just fine, too. WDAS, from my outside perspective, could possibly get two movies out in 2025. An original and a sequel - be it ZOOTOPIA 2 or FROZEN III - and make it through unscathed.

As for what makes it first out of the two WDAS sequels? I'm definitely leaning on ZOO2PIA here. The first film will be *ten years old* in 2026, and ZOOTOPIA+ recently debuted on Disney+, so I'd imagine that one arriving sooner than latter.

Who knows, but I could see this happening…

11/20/2024 - ORIGINAL WDAS (possibly Josie Trinidad's film?)

03/07/2025 - ZOOTOPIA 2

06/13/2025 - ORIGINAL PIXAR (possibly Brian Fee’s film? He said he was writing/directing an original way back in July 2017)

11/26/2025 - ORIGINAL WDAS (possibly Suzi Yoonessi's film?)

03/06/2026 - ORIGINAL PIXAR (possibly Kristin Lester’s film? Her original movie was confirmed to exist in 2018)

06/19/2026 - TOY STORY 5

11/25/2026 - FROZEN III

2027 - ORIGINAL PIXAR (possibly Rosana Sullivan's film?)

2027 - ORIGINAL WDAS (possibly Marc Smith's film?)

This might all look silly by 2026 anyways, so… Why the heck not?

Some inspirations for my second idea are "Kitbull" a Pixar short directed by Rosana Sullivan and "Siblings" by Kenet Garcia Rojas with their impactful stories, textured/line art styles, and muted pastel colors. Another inspiration for my idea is "Let's Eat" an Anamon Studios 3D animated short film directed by Dixon Wong. I remember crying after watching Kitbull and Let's Eat, as they both tell such emotional yet relatable stories. After first watching them a few years ago, they both sparked my passion for creating, drawing, and animating again.

Abused dog pica

Teething usually starts at about 3 weeks of age and lasts until your puppy is about 6 months old. The pain gives puppies the urge to chew on things to help alleviate it. Dogs with pica can develop serious issues like a. Some vets have observed that dogs prefer eating objects that have their owner’s scent, like underwear, towels, and socks instead of other things. Teething is the process when puppies start to lose their puppy teeth to make room for adult teeth, and this process does, unfortunately, cause pain. Pica in dogs is a health disorder, it causes them to eat non-food items such as paper, rocks, plastic, wood, cloth, and items from the trash. They will chew on everyone and everything they can get their little teeth on as well while teething. Puppies tend to explore and gain information from the world around them by putting everything in their mouths. Puppy Teething Image credit: nuu_jeed, Shutterstock How to Get Your Dog to Stop Chewing Carpet 1. Now we’ll look at 8 reasons why your dog might be chewing on your carpet and some ideas on stopping this behavior. Particularly if your dog has lost her appetite, has a swollen belly, or you see changes in her bowel movements. It does not store any personal data.If you suspect your dog has swallowed some of your carpet and hasn’t vomited, you need to take your dog to the vet immediately.

It’s also a testament to the power of friendship and what can happen if you step out of your comfort zone and embrace kindness. The film has started a conversation about breed stereotypes, animal abuse, and animal rescue. It doesn’t matter if you have a rescue pet in your house or not, this Pixar short film is sure to pull at your heartstrings. We won’t give any spoilers, but you’ll definitely want to watch this short film all the way to the end. It’s about kindness and friendship, and it also touches on the serious issue of how society treats animals. The short film takes two vulnerable characters through experiences that everyone watching can relate to. “Kitbull” shows how an unlikely friendship can evolve and create something truly heartwarming. At first, I just wanted to draw something that made me feel good and was fun, but it evolved into something more personal to me eventually.” I loved watching cat videos in times of stress. “To be fully honest, it started from a cat video. Director Rosana Sullivan said in a companion video, Chained outside and obviously abused, the poor pup is desperate for a friend. The story is about a fiercely independent, yet vulnerable, stray kitten who ends up meeting a pit bull.

Gonna ask a non-insider information question and go for opinions of you personally, do you feel bad for the Disney veterans working at Skydance Animation (under scumbag Lasseter) like Brad Bird (various Pixar films), Rich Moore (various WDAS films), Nathan Greno (various WDAS films), Bobs Ganaway (various DTVA shows), Shane Prigmore (co-creator of Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure), and Matt Youngberg (co-creator of DuckTales 2017)?

I will just say this when Lasseter was at Pixar, the only woman who directed a film was kicked out of her own film, reminder that woman was behind The Prince Of Egypt, and her film at Pixar was renamed to Brave.

When Lasseter left, Domee Shi was the first actual woman on direct a Pixar film and with total creative freedom later to be followed by Aphton Corbin, Kristen Lester, and Rosana Sullivan who have been working on their respective untitled feature films,aditionally Lindsey Collins was promoted alongside Shi as vice president of creative development at Pixar.

With your list see a common pattern.... they are all males..... the same kind of mentality Pixar was acussed before Pete Docter stepped in, not to diss those directors specially Bobs beacuse the show he is making at Skydance was going to be showrunned by Lauren Montgomerty (your opinions on how Voltron ended are irrelevant) Lauren left to work on Avatar Studios as well many artists who went to work at Skydance have left due Lasseter's handling.

John NEVER changed and he is going to continue this path of an all boys mentality club at Skydance

The new Fine Tooning episode came out (that's an animation news/commentary podcast hosted by Jim Hill and Drew Taylor), and the word is that Pixar is actually NOT making a movie called DUCKS. Or a movie about ducks, period...

But, host Drew did say that a musical isn't off the table... That Pixar could be thinking of doing their first proper musical animated feature... But again, that's probably a ways off.

Maybe it was a case of mixed signals, which often happens in animation news rumor-milling.

I'm reminded, using one of many examples, of a movie supposedly called "The Name Game"... A Walt Disney Animation Studios adaptation of the classic Rumplestiltskin fairy tale, set in South Pacific...

These rumors floated around in approximately 2012/13-ish? It was true that Disney Animation had kicked around a Rumplestiltskin adaptation once, but that was around the early aughts. It was true that a movie set in the South Pacific was in the works at the time, as it had been quietly mentioned in mid-2012. Around the time of that year's Comic-Con, directors Ron Clements and John Musker were said to be in early development of a 2D feature and that a research trip had been taken to the South Pacific... But this "Name Game" movie never existed, nor was it ever going to be a Rumplestiltskin retelling. The picture in question turned out to be 2016's MOANA, a CG flm that did indeed begin life as a 2D film before the bean counters called it quits.

So again, some partial truths, but mixed signals and unrelated stuff being thrown into the report. That's happened plenty of times before with Disney animated films, Pixar films, etc. Remember how in 2022, right before D23, there were leaks saying that Disney was making a feature based on the story BLUEBEARD (in addition to THE PRINCESS AND THE PEA), and that Pixar was working on something called SUMER? I remember a time when Pixar was supposedly doing some soccer movie set in Spain, but there was no real evidence that corroborated such a claim. I remember A BUG'S LIFE 2 being someone's April Fool's Day joke in 2010.

Maybe there's a scene in some upcoming Pixar movie involving ducks that somebody caught a faint glimpse of, maybe not. Maybe that's what happened. Sometimes, Disney tends to lock names and domains and such for various projects. In 2009, I remember Disney trademarking things like "Finding Nemo 2" and "Tiger King". I'd imagine the latter had nothing to do with Joe Exotic. Maybe "Pixar Ducks" is just that? I don't know. It is kind of unusual. Maybe it's one of those BLUE HARVEST working titles for something else.

But I'd like to think, at this year's D23, we learn about what the next original Pixar picture is *after* the summer 2025 release of ELIO. Who is directing, ya know? The previously-announced candidates Kristen Lester (PURL), Rosana Sullivan (KITBULL), Aphton Corbin (TWENTY-SOMETHING), Daniel Chong (WE BEAR BEARS), Enrico Casarosa (LUCA), Domee Shi (TURNING RED), Brian Fee (CARS 3), and more remain on my mind. Maybe it's a director we haven't heard about... After all, Peter Sohn's ELEMENTAL snuck right up on us. He wasn't really said to be working on anything following his GOOD DINOSAUR, but turns out... He was!

It could be that kind of situation, who knows!
