That being said, I do guarantee you will be able to recognize most of the voices, including that of Jamie Foxx and Tina Fey , when the latest Pixar release becomes available to stream from Disney+ on Christmas Day. In fact, Soul, which follows a prematurely deceased music teacher’s journey back into his earthly body , boasts a pretty top-notch ensemble of A-listers, for the most part.

While Inside Pixar give us a glimpse of the process, it never quite becomes the definitive documentary on a company that has truly made some clutter-breaking animation films in the last 25 years.

A federal trademark infringement lawsuit filed in Las Vegas accuses the movie company of improperly basing the new character in last year’s Toy Story 4 on Knievel, whose famous stunts included motorcycle jumps over the Caesars Palace fountain in Las Vegas and a row of buses at Wembley Stadium in London, and a rocket shot into Snake River Canyon in Idaho.

Coronavirus Outbreak: Pixar's Soul, earlier scheduled for release on 19 June, postponed to 20 November.New York : Pixar’s Soul , the last major release planned for June, has been postponed to November because of the coronavirus pandemic.

Last week saw Disney announce a bunch of new dates, including a fresh slate for Phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe – along with the news that Kenneth Branagh’s Artemis Fowl adaptation will now be released on the Disney+ streaming service .

Onward stars Tom Holland and Chris Pratt as two brothers who’s father passed away when they were too young to remember him, so their father leaves them behind a spell to bring him back for one day, but when the spell goes wrong and they’re only able to bring back half of him, they must go on a quest to bring back the rest of their father.

Onward orbits the lives of two elf brothers – the socially awkward Ian (voice-over by Tom Holland) and goofball Barley (Chris Pratt) - and their quest to reunite with their long-deceased father by using a magic staff studded with a crystal.

Disney and Pixar have an early Christmas present for audiences as they have unveiled new character posters for their upcoming fantasy adventure Onward a day ahead of a new trailer, while also announcing an expansion of its cast with the additions of Ali Wong ( Always Be My Maybe ), Lena Waithe ( Queen & Slim ) and Mel Rodriguez ( The Last Man on Earth ).

So far, there is very little known about Soul other than the very delicately designed title, and the film has been a mystery since IMDb had it listed only as an “Untitled Pixar Animation Project.” The plot synopsis that Disney and Pixar released with the announcement of the title barely answers any questions, either.

It's the story of Joe Gardener (below, voiced by Foxx) a school band teacher who has always harboured dreams of playing jazz professionally.Questlove will be playing Curly, the drummer of the jazz quartet that Joe joins, while Rashad is Libba, Joe's mother, while Diggs is Paul, his neighbourhood nemesis.

Yes, Canadian Pixar Animators Were Obsessed With Working On Keanu Reeves' Duke Caboom. Director Josh Cooley also confirmed that Duke Caboom was 100% animated by the Canadian crew, so a lot of Canadian quirks and references in Toy Story 4 can be attributed to their work.

I don’t know what will happen next for Toy Story, but if this is how they end this franchise then they made sure to go out on top.

This fourth Toy Story isn’t as essential as the previous films in the series, but there’s no denying the joy of seeing Woody and friends back in action, while once again it’ll likely leave you with a tear in your eye.

Onward trailer: Chris Pratt, Tom Holland are two elf brothers out on an adventure in Disney-Pixar's fantasy film. Just two weeks after the record-breaking Avengers Endgame 's release, Chris Pratt(Star-Lord) and Tom Holland (Spider-man) are ready to reunite for a Pixar Animation's fantasy film titled Onward .

That deal officially ended at the close of 2018, meaning all new movies from Marvel, Star Wars, and Pixar starting this year will be debuting directly on Disney+ rather than going to Netflix first.

Of course, what's most interesting about this statement is that people were pretty much satisfied with the ending of Toy Story 3 , so much so that many seem to have real concern about the idea of making the fourth film in the franchise in the first place.

The other problem facing Child's Play , as Box Office Pro points out, is that another horror movie, Annabelle Comes Home , opens a week after Child's Play , and with that movie being part of the popular Conjuring franchise, it's possible horror fans might be tempted to wait and check out the new film rather than go in for the remake.

The other major location seen in the Toy Story 4 trailer is a carnival, and and Thomas Jordan let me know about one very fitting Pixar easter egg that will be visible there.

Child’s Play will be the eighth Chucky film (five of which have had a theatrical release), in a franchise that has collectively made $176 million worldwide unadjusted. While Toy Story 4 will likely defeat Chucky in box office numbers, the Pixar film has nothing on Child’s Play out-of-box social media tactics.

Monsters At Work will be set six months after the original film, which saw the famed scare facility switching over its power supply from the screams of frightened children to their laughter and joy.

Take a look: Boo from Monsters, Inc makes a cameo in Toy Story 4 - Look to the right of Bonnie in the background! These are so fun, and major props to the fans who have already found some Pixar easter eggs ahead of Toy Story 4 ’s release.

Looking in the top right corner of this screengrab from the latest trailer for Toy Story 4 , Boo seems to be present while Bonnie is hard at work crafting Forky.

Yet, as with any sequel to a storied franchise that keeps on chugging, there are some who are wondering just why Toy Story 3 wasn't a good enough ending for the saga that started Pixar's feature film empire.

A nod to a new generation of costumers could have been expected, as the first person Carter thanked in her acceptance speech was Spike Lee. The director gave her her start, she said, himself a multiple nominee on Sunday for “BlacKkKlansman.” “I hope through my example this means there is hope.

Looking to inspire fresh new work from across the company, animation giant Pixar launched SparkShorts, a programme designed to encourage those who might not otherwise get a chance. The latest short film to emerge is Kitbull , which features an unlikely friendship between two animals.

The animation studio has just unveiled a fresh 8-minute film titled Purl on YouTube, and it’s a witty and beautifully crafted story about systemic inequality in male-dominated industries, and how to bring about cultural change.

The official synopsis teases that Forky will be playing a significant role in the film, with the other toys showing him the scale of the world via a road trip, but none of the trailers thus far has exactly been "traditional" - giving fans a clear sense of what the movie is going to be about - beyond the fact that it includes a character named Forky and has at least one sequence set in a carnival.

Just one day before Tim Allen’s final day in the recording studio, Tom Hanks also shared his last day as Woody on Toy Story 4 with a behind-the-scenes picture and touching callback to his character with the words “we rode like the wind, to infinity and beyond” to culminate the end of his work on the film.

Toy Story 4: Tom Hanks wraps up final recording, says 'We rode like the wind, to infinity and beyond' It has been nine years since we last saw Woody, Buzz and the rest of Pixar's Toy Story gang on the silver screen but the wait comes to an end with the release of Toy Story 4.
