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.

Planes: Cars 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.
