Two New Movies From Pixar


This weekend the Walt Disney Company’s D23 convention saw the announcement that there are two films currently in development at Pixar.

It announced that the first will be focused on Dinosaurs, and will be directed by the studio veteran Bob Peterson.
Peterson and John Walker both arrived on stage to announce the project, which currently has the working title of, The Untitled Pixar Movie About Dinosaurs. The Pixar duo kept pretty hush hush when it came to the announcement of the plot, reiterating what Disney had already announced, ““What if that life-changing asteroid missed Earth? The hilarious tale depicts a world where dinosaurs never went extinct."
The film is said to be arriving on November 27th 2013.
Unfortunately it looks as though we are going to have to wait a while for this one, and even longer for the second.
The second picture announced currently goes by the name of The Untitled Pixar Movie That Takes You Inside The Mind, which was described as a comic look at how ideas come together and the inner workings of the mind.
The Film is due around May 2014.
It looks as though we have a little wait on our hand for these two, but luckily Pixar has a new film Brave and Monster University a prequel to Monster Inc. for us to look forward to.
Those will be released on August 17th 2012 and July 19th 2013 respectively.

The film has been shot in 3D and black and white demonstrating Burton’s trademark style. Danny Elfman is also on board to act as the film’s composer.
