Forky Asks a Question on Disney+ Will Be the Latest Pixar Shorts
November 2, 2019
Uncategorized
forky asks a question, pixar, toy story 4

As there was no traditional short film in front of Toy Story 4, the promotion of 10 short films for Forky Asks a Question suggests, perhaps, that maybe we’ll be getting those beloved Pixar shorts via Disney+?

Certainly, they would be quite the card for Disney+ to play in the escalation of these streaming wars. 

In regards to Forky Asks a Question, we’ll be curious how existential (and secretly for adults) this will get as Toy Story 4 was absolutely filled with philosophical quandaries via the introduction of Forky.

Get a taste of what’s to come via this trailer, then look for Forky Asks a Question on Disney+ on Nov. 12th.

Celeste and Jesse Forever with a different ending as a Toy Story sequel?

The fourth installment of Pixar’s Toy Story franchise will bring back Bo Peep as a love interest for Woody and subsequently explore their romance. With Rashida Jones and Will McCormack penning the script, don’t doubt how much this new Toy Story movie might tug at your heart strings, no matter what age you are. 

Certainly, it’ll probably go into less dark territory than Toy Story 3.

As evidenced by the boffo box office done by both Jurassic World and Inside Out this summer, the odds are in favor of you loving Pixar’s latest, The Good Dinosaur.

Combining both dinosaurs as well as Pixar’s deft ability to hit nerves that makes audiences of all ages laugh and cry, The Good Dinosaur from Peter Sohn, Enrico Casarosa, and Bob Peterson will probably make Thanksgiving better this year.

Just see for yourself in this trailer, then look for it in theaters on Nov. 25th.

Not only does Pixar have a tradition of making touching, funny animated films that are more expressive and relatable than the most realistic CGI renderings have ever achieved, they also have a great tradition of putting a touching, funny short film in front of every one of their theatrical releases.

Whether it be Geri’s Game or One Man Band or La Luna or the latest one, Lava, that plays in front of Inside Out, they’re all synonymous with Pixar’s movies.

So, Disney Pixar just announced their latest short, Sanjay’s Super Team, will play in front of The Good Dinosaur this Thanksgiving. 

As you can see from the first images, it looks like Pixar might have another award winning short film on their hands as well as something that echoes their beloved titles Toy Story and The Incredibles.

The Voice Cast of Pixar’s “The Good Dinosaur” Has Been Completely Replaced

As Pixar is completely reworking the story, they had to get a new cast too. 

Neil Patrick Harris, Bill Hader, Judy Greer, and more will no longer be the cast of the long-awaited non-sequel Pixar feature known as The Good Dinosaur. A new story that had to come from getting a new director (they ousted the original director Bob Peterson) required new dialogue to be recorded. That, in turn, needed a pretty much entirely new cast.

So, the cast of The Good Dinosaur will now include: Raymond Ochoa, Jeffrey Wright, Sam Elliott, Steve Zahn, Frances McDormand (only original cast member), and Anna Paquin.

Hopefully, our love dinosaurs based off Jurassic World’s record breaking weekend will stay the course with The Good Dinosaur when it comes out this Thanksgiving.

One of Pixar’s most successful, most beloved properties, Toy Story, is coming back for a fourth round in 2017. 

Announced today, a Toy Story 4 will have John Lasseter returning to the franchise as a director and the duo of Rashida Jones and Will McCormack are set to write the script. More specifically, the release is being targeted for June 2017.

In case you wondering, that does avoid any matching up with Marvel’s upcoming film slate as well as the Lego Movie sequel.

Disney Pixar, above most other studios, has found a way to consistently be adorable across a wide age range. In the first teaser for their upcoming film Inside Out, they showcase how they’ve done that over the last several years as well as showing how Inside Out will be no different.

With Amy Poehler as the voice of the emotion of joy and Lewis Black as the voice of the emotion of anger, how could you not find this adorable.

Pixar’s Inside Out Has People Saying It Will Change The Way People Will Think About Thinking

A recent, detailed presentation of Pixar’s upcoming film Inside Out by director Pete Docter gave a deeper look into the film and its story. Those in attendance said that the way it portrays human thoughts and emotions and how they work, which, in this case, will be played by a team of animated characters voiced by Amy Poehler, Lewis Black, Bill Hader, Phyllis Smith, and Mindy Kaling, might offer some valuable insight into how we think and feel in real life.

This shouldn’t come as much of a surprise given how many people couldn’t but cry at the opening of Up.

Pixar Reveals More About Their Latest Film ‘Inside Out’

Imagine having your emotions being voiced by Amy Poehler, Bill Hader, Lewis Black, Mindy Kaling, and Phyllis Smith. Got that? Now imagine that they’re animated into full formed characters and you’re having to deal with moving to San Francisco from the Midwest as a kid. 

This should be interesting as it’s probably Pixar’s least fantastical film to date, but boasts a great cast and concept, especially for the fact that Poehler is set to play the emotion of joy and Black is set for anger.

Pixar is aiming Inside Out for a U.S. release next Summer, Jul. 19th, 2015.

ABC Having ‘Toy Story’ TV Special for Halloween

As far as the Toy Story franchise concerned, we guess it might have only been a matter of time before a TV version would come about as we’re sure it has probably been discussed frequently. Ever since Toy Story 3, there has been digital shorts featuring various “toys” here and there released by Pixar, but, if anything, we’re happy to see that it’s a Halloween special that doesn’t have to worry about a season arc. 

With that being said, be sure to catch Toy Story of TERROR airs on ABC 8PM Oct. 16th.

Amy Poehler, Lewis Black, Mindy Kaling and Bill Hader Among Voice Cast for Latest Pixar Movie “Inside Out”

Not only does a Amy Poehler, Lewis Black, Bill Hader, and Mindy Kaling voiced Pixar movie sound delightful, but the premise for Pete Docter’s “Inside Out” might make for a wonderful, funny combination. 

We’re always happy to see a non-spin off/sequel from Disney/Pixar.
