COSMIC MISADVENTURE – Elio, a space fanatic with an active imagination, finds himself on a cosmic misadventure where he must form new bonds with eccentric alien lifeforms, navigate a crisis of intergalactic proportions and somehow discover who he is truly meant to be. Directed by Madeline Sharafian, Domee Shi and Adrian Molina, and produced by Mary Alice Drumm, the film features the voices of Zoë Saldaña as Aunt Olga, Brad Garrett as Lord Grigon, Jameela Jamil as Ambassador Questa, and Yonas Kibreab as the title character. “Elio” releases in theaters June 13, 2025

Things are cooking over at Pixar! During their D23 presentation this weekend, the company shared lots of first look images and details on projects new and old, such as the image you can see above of their upcoming film, Elio, which is set to come out on June 13, 2025.

Here’s a rundown of what else we found out.

WIN OR LOSE features the voice of Will Forte as Coach Dan. Pixar’s first-ever original long-form animated series follows a co-ed middle school softball team in the week leading up to their championship game. Each episode highlights the perspective of a different character—like Coach Dan—and explores the drama of bad calls being made on and off the field. A story about love, rivalry and the challenges we all face in our struggle to win at life, “Win or Lose” streams on Disney+ in Fall 2023.

Win or Lose TV Series

Win or Lose is Pixar’s first original television series, and it will finally make its way to the small screen by the end of this year. The show, according to marketing materials, “reveals what it feels like to be in the shoes of eight different characters—the insecure kids, their helicopter parents, even a lovesick umpire—as they prepare for a championship softball game. Will Forte lends his voice to the coach.”

It’s written and executive produced by Carrie Hobson and Michael Yates, produced David Lally, and premieres on Disney+ on December 6, 2024.

ACTION! -- From the world of “Inside Out” comes “Dream Productions,” an all-new Disney+ series about the studio inside Riley’s mind where acclaimed director Paula Persimmon (voice of Paula Pell) teams up with daydream director Xeni (voice of Richard Ayoade) to create the next big tween-dream hit. Written and directed by Mike Jones and produced by Jaclyn Simon, Pixar Animation Studios’ hilarious, mockumentary-style series debuts on Disney+ in 2025.

Inside Out TV Spinoff, Dream Productions

It’s not surprising that Pixar is beefing up its content from Inside Out, given the second film in the franchise made almost $1.6 billion worldwide. The next installment is a television series called Dream Productions, which centers on the studio inside Riley’s brain.

Check out the synopsis for the show, which takes place between the events of Inside Out and Inside Out 2:

From the world of Inside Out comes Dream Productions, an all-new Disney+ series about the studio inside Riley’s mind where dreams really do come true—every night, on time and on budget, thanks to acclaimed director Paula Persimmon (voice of Paula Pell). Riley’s growing up and her core Emotions are on the job helping her navigate, but now Paula is facing a nightmare of her own: her signature combination of dreams featuring Rainbow Unicorn and copious amounts of glitter just isn’t working anymore. To try and save her career, Paula teams up with Xeni (voice of Richard Ayoade), an overly confident daydream director looking for his next big break. With differing visions on what makes Riley’s dreams successful, can the reluctant pair come together to create the next big tween-dream hit?

Dream Productions comes from writer-director Mike Jones and is set to premiere on Disney+ sometime in 2025.

DISNEY AND PIXAR’S “HOPPERS” HITS THEATERS IN 2026 -- What if you could talk to animals and understand what they’re saying? In Disney and Pixar’s all-new feature film “Hoppers,” scientists have discovered how to “hop” human consciousness into lifelike robotic animals, allowing people to communicate with animals as animals! The adventure introduces Mabel, an animal lover who seizes an opportunity to use the technology, uncovering mysteries within the animal world that are beyond anything she could have imagined. Directed by Daniel Chong and produced by Nicole Paradis Grindle, “Hoppers” features the voices of Piper Curda, Bobby Moynihan and Jon Hamm. The film opens exclusively in theaters in 2026.

Hoppers

We also found out about a new Pixar movie coming to theaters in 2026 called Hoppers. I’ll let the synopsis do the explaining:

What if you could talk to animals and understand what they’re saying? In Disney and Pixar’s all-new feature film Hoppers, scientists have discovered how to “hop” human consciousness into lifelike robotic animals, allowing people to communicate with animals as animals! The adventure introduces Mabel, an animal lover who seizes an opportunity to use the technology, uncovering mysteries within the animal world that are beyond anything she could have imagined.

Sounds good to me! We also got a first look image, which you take a gander of above. The movie comes to us from director Daniel Chong, is produced by Nicole Paradis Grindle, and features the voices of Piper Curda, Bobby Moynihan and Jon Hamm.

TOY STORY 5” COMING TO THEATERS IN 2026 -- The toys are back in Disney and Pixar’s “Toy Story 5,” and this time around it’s Toy meets Tech. Buzz, Woody, Jessie and the rest of the gang’s jobs get exponentially harder when they go head to head with this all-new threat to playtime. Directed by Andrew Stanton, co-directed by McKenna Harris and produced by Jessica Choi, “Toy Story 5” opens only in theaters on June 19, 2026.

Toy Story 5

Four Toy Story features aren’t enough! There’s a fifth Toy Story movie in production, and we’ve got an image from it (above) and a to-the-point logline:

The toys are back in Disney and Pixar’s Toy Story 5, and this time around it’s Toy meets Tech. Buzz, Woody, Jessie and the rest of the gang’s jobs get exponentially harder when they go head to head with this all-new threat to playtime.

(So Woody’s back? How? Why? Will his travails with Bo Peep just be considered lost years? So many questions!) The feature is co-directed by Toy Story alum Andrew Stanton and McKenna Harris, and is produced by Jennifer Choi. It’s going to premiere in theaters on June 19, 2026.

Incredibles 3

Sequels are where it’s at! Last but not least, we also found out that Incredibles 3 is happening. We don’t know much about it other than the shiny new logo above, and Brad Bird is working on it, but that’s something.

No news on when Incredibles 3 will make its way to theaters, but it will likely be more than a couple of years. icon-paragraph-end
