Upcoming Pixar Movies

At the past D23 Expo, fans got a reveal of several Disney/Pixar movies in the works.

The Untitled Pixar Movie About Dinosaurs: “What the world might have been like if dinosaurs were never wiped out by a giant asteroid, but continued to exist on Earth.” Holiday 2013 release.

The Untitled Pixar Movie That Takes You Inside the Human Mind: “explor[ing] the reasons why we get songs stuck in our head, why we dream, and even why we remember.” Spring 2014 release.

Brave: ”Pixar’s first female-driven film stars Boardwalk Empire’s Kelly MacDonald as Merida, a princess set on escaping her fate of an arranged marriage to one of three idiot clan leaders.” With Billy Connolly and Craig Ferguson. June 22, 2012 release.

Wreck-It Ralph: “Inside the world of retro, 8-bit video games” with a look that apparently “stay[s] true to the look of classic video games.” With the voice talents of  John C. Reilly and Sarah Silverman. 2012 release.

Monsters University: A prequel to Monsters Incorporated “that will take us back in time to show how Mike and Sully became buddies.” Billy Crystal and John Goodman return. 2013 release.

PlanesCars but with airplanes, from DisneyToon Studios. “The only non-Pixar animated project debuted at D23, Planes stars John Cryer as Dusty, a cropduster who decides to take off an adventure around the globe.” Spring 2013 release.

Why am I not too enthusiastic about that last one? It sounds as if they ran out of new stories to tell. Is that why it got "relegated" to the in-house DisneyToon Studios?

Edit: And oh, here's a video to accompany this story:


Anyhow, having seen the trailer for "Brave", I am very much looking forward to this one.
