As some of you are aware, Cinemacon is currently rocking Vegas, for cinema owners and some select press. And the most recent news to emerge from Vegas is that Pixar have announced a bunch of new movies.
THE UNTITLED PIXAR MOVIE ABOUT DÍA DE LOS MUERTOS
- Director: Lee Unkrich
- Producer: Darla K. Anderson
From director Lee Unkrich and producer Darla K. Anderson, the filmmaking team behind the Academy Award®-winning “Toy Story 3,” comes a wholly original Pixar Animation Studios film that delves into the vibrant holiday of Día de los Muertos.
Now my Mexican isn’t great, but DÍA DE LOS MUERTOS translated is Day of the Dead, which is a Mexican holiday celebrating and honouring deceased loved ones.
Other Pixar movies also announced were
THE GOOD DINOSAUR
U.S. Release Date: May 30, 2014
- Director: Bob Peterson
- Co-Director: Peter Sohn
- Producer: John Walker
What if the cataclysmic asteroid that forever changed life on Earth actually missed the planet completely and giant dinosaurs never became extinct? This hilarious, heartfelt and original tale is directed by Bob Peterson (co-director/writer, “Up;” writer, “Finding Nemo”) and produced by John Walker (“The Incredibles,” “The Iron Giant”).
And finally,
THE UNTITLED PIXAR MOVIE THAT TAKES YOU INSIDE THE MIND
U.S. Release Date: June 19, 2015
- Director: Pete Docter
- Co-Director: Ronnie del Carmen
- Producer: Jonas Rivera
Pixar takes audiences on incredible journeys into extraordinary worlds: from the darkest depths of the ocean to the top of the tepui mountains in South America; from the fictional metropolis of Monstropolis to a futuristic fantasy of outer space. From director Pete Docter (“Up,” “Monsters, Inc.”) and producer Jonas Rivera (“Up”), the inventive new film will take you to a place that everyone knows, but no one has ever seen: the world inside the human mind.
I’m particularly intrigued with the last one. It’s like Pixar do Inception! Either way, exciting times ahead, particularly as 2 out of the 3 announced movies seem to be a mile away from the usual Pixaresque stuff, and thats a good thing methinks!
