The creators promise that the new part of the adventure cartoon will be even more exciting and original.

The premiere of the cartoon will take place on November 27, 2024.

"Snow White"



The musical fantasy film will tell a variation of the story written by the Brothers Grimm. Controversies surrounding the project began immediately after its announcement. Many were confused by the changes in the plot, the choice of an actress with Colombian roots for the role of the main character, and also the fact that the gnomes are played by actors who are not born dwarfs.

The film will premiere on March 21, 2025.

"Elio"



This original Pixar animated story tells the story of a boy named Elio who is mistakenly kidnapped by the alien organization Communiverse. He is mistakenly appointed as Earth's ambassador. Now Elio must go through a series of serious tests to find out his true purpose.

There are a number of premieres, the release date of which is only known approximately.

"Zootopia 2"



In the world of Zootopia, there are still many stories to tell and crimes to solve. The sequel to the Oscar-winning animated film will reunite Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde. Plot details have not yet been disclosed.

The new cartoon is expected to be released on November 25, 2025. However, there is a possibility that the project will appear on big screens earlier.

"Toy Story 5"



No details are yet known about the new part of Toy Story, except for the approximate release date. Rumor has it that this will be the last part of the cartoon.

The release date of the cartoon is scheduled for June 5-19, 2026.

"Moana" (film adaptation)



The film adaptation of the Disney cartoon promises to be impressive. Just look at the cast of Moana. The role of the demigod Maui will be played by Dwayne Johnson, and the main character will be played by 17-year-old Katherine Lagaia, known to us from the series “The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart.”

The film's premiere is scheduled for July 10, 2026.

"Frozen 3"



Agree, it would be strange if such a successful project as “Frozen” did not receive a sequel. The sequel to the cartoon was announced by Disney CEO Bob Iger himself back in 2023. Since then, no additional details about the project's production have been announced.

The cartoon is expected to be released from November 3 to November 25, 2026.
