    First teaser trailer and poster for Disney Pixar’s ‘The Good Dinosaur’ arrives

    With Inside Out just around the corner, Disney Pixar has released the first teaser trailer to their next animated movie: THE GOOD DINOSAUR.

    THE GOOD DINOSAUR asks the question: What if the asteroid that forever changed life on Earth missed the planet completely and giant dinosaurs never became extinct? Pixar Animation Studios takes you on an epic journey into the world of dinosaurs where an Apatosaurus named Arlo makes an unlikely human friend. While traveling through a harsh and mysterious landscape, Arlo learns the power of confronting his fears and discovers what he is truly capable of.

    This isn’t the first time Disney has played with dinosaurs, with the 2000 film Dinosaur, and the 1990s TV series Dinsosaurs, produced by Michael Jacobs Productions and Jim Henson Productions in association with Walt Disney Television.

    THE GOOD DINOSAUR is released “this summer” from Disney.

  • Disney-Pixar Titles The Good Dinosaur and Announces Dia de los Muertos Movie

    Disney-Pixar Titles The Good Dinosaur and Announces Dia de los Muertos Movie

    Pixar Animation Studios LogoComingSoon.Net reports in from CinemaCon with a few bits of terrific news on Disney-Pixar’s upcoming projects. This includes the announcement of the title for the previously Untitled Pixar Movie About Dinosaurs, an update on the The Untitled Pixar Movie That Takes You Inside The Mind and a brand new film announced around the holiday of Dia de los Muetros. The great news is, none of them are prequels or sequels!

    First up, the untitled dinosaur film will now be called The Good Dinosaur, and is now due for a US release on 30 May 2014. The film proposes that the evolution-changing asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs actually missed the Earth, and dinosaurs still exist and continue to evolve. It will be directed by Bob Peterson (Up).

    The previously hinted Lee Unkrich project, now will be produced with Darla Anderson and will be set around the holiday of Dia de los Muertos. Disney-Pixar describes the film as follows:

    “From director Lee Unkrich and producer Darla K. Anderson, the filmmaking team behind the Academy Award®-winning Toy Story 3, comes a wholly original Pixar Animation Studios film that delves into the vibrant holiday of Día de los Muertos”.

    Finally, the Untitled Pixar Movie That Takes You Inside The Mind has now been pushed back from 30 May  2014 to 19 June 2015. The extra year can perhaps help them find a title. The official synopsis was released late 2011:

    Pixar takes audiences on incredible journeys into extraordinary worlds: from the darkest depths of the ocean to the top of the tepui mountains in South America; from the fictional metropolis of Monstropolis to a futuristic fantasy of outer space. From director Pete Docter (Up, Monsters, Inc.) and producer Jonas Rivera (Up), the inventive new film will take you to a place that everyone knows, but no one has ever seen: the world inside the human mind.

    A prequel to Monsters Inc, titled Monster University, is also slated for 21 June 2013. With Brave due out in cinemas very soon, it is an exciting time to be a fan of Disney-Pixar!

  • D23 Expo: Disney-Pixar announces 2 new films, poster for ‘Tangled Ever After’

    D23 Expo: Disney-Pixar announces 2 new films, poster for ‘Tangled Ever After’

    A big day of news at the D23 Expo as Disney-Pixar announced details on two forthcoming feature films.

    The first of these, presented cheekily as The Untitled Pixar Movie About Dinosaurs, proposes that the evolution-changing asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs actually missed the Earth, and dinosaurs still exist and continue to evolve. Directed by Bob Peterson (Up), the film is due for a release in the holiday season of 2013.

    The summer 2014 film, using the working title of The Untitled Pixar Movie That Takes You Inside The Mind, was thinner on plot details, but it was hinted that Pete Docter (Up, Monsters Inc) would be involved. This is undoubtedly the mystery Pixar film the studio announced for May 30, 2014 in a press release earlier this month.

    The next film from the studio will be Brave (22 June 2012), followed by the Monsters Inc. prequel Monsters University (21 June 2013).

    Tangled Ever After

    In other news, Disney also revealed the poster for the upcoming Tangled Ever After,  a short film from Tangled directors  Nathan  Greno and Byron Howard. Plot details were scarce, but the US should see this one on the Disney Channel in “Spring 2012” (Source: /Film). That’s the second quater for those of us in the southern hemisphere.

    The D23 Expo runs from 19 to 21 August, and it is expected that news on The Avengers, now owned by Disney as part of their Marvel Comics purchase, will be unveiled.
