Being somewhat of a cornerstone of the brand and everything, the animation world was not left behind in Disney’s sprawling announcements yesterday.
A slew of new projects, both short and long, are expected to roll out of the Mouse House over the next two years.
Some of them also have the potential to achieve that “future classic” note.
Light year
Now, maybe close an eye and try to figure it all out; Chris Evans will lead this origin story of the human man that inspired the creation of the Buzz Lightyear toy. But as Toy story, it is also an animation. Clear? Well, even Evans felt the urge to try to clarify things on Twitter.
Raya and the last dragon
A fantastic tale of humans and dragons in the world of Kumandra, with Star Wars’ Kelly Marie Tran voicing the warrior Raya and Awkwafina as the dragon Sisu. It was confirmed to get the ‘premiere access’ treatment Mulan had: launching in theaters and on Disney + for a fee, same day.
