Month: August 2024

There are two types of Augments – Minor and Major.

In early 2023, as The Walt Disney Company grappled with a series of disappointments, including upcoming releases like “The Marvels” and “Wish,” CEO Bob Iger announced during an earnings call that they were planning another installment of the successful franchise, “Frozen 3.” While his words might have been more formal, it was clear that Disney was returning to the wellspring of Arendelle for a guaranteed success.

Lucasfilm has unveiled the first teaser for “Skeleton Crew”, a new Star Wars series, set to premiere on Disney Plus on December 3. This trailer follows the reveal of “The Acolyte”, and marks an extension of Lucasfilm and Disney’s efforts to explore Star Wars beyond its Skywalker-focused comfort zone.

Following San Diego Comic-Con 2024, Disney prepares to host an enormous fan event aimed at disclosing similar amounts of information about the upcoming plans for Marvel, Star Wars, Pixar, Disney Animation, and the Disney Parks. Key figures such as Kevin Feige, Pete Doctor, Kathleen Kennedy, and perhaps Mickey Mouse himself will be present during the weekend’s celebrations. This event holds significant importance since even Disney CEO Bob Iger acknowledges that Disney is facing a slump, and this platform could potentially mark a turnaround.

I’d be bold enough to say that it’s not wise to even hint at the idea that people don’t want “Avatar 3,” titled now as “Avatar 3: Fire and Ash.” With the anticipation building up towards 2022’s “The Way of Water,” James Cameron made a strong argument for Avatar’s cultural significance. And let me tell you, it paid off! The film generated an impressive $2.3 billion worldwide with its stunning three-hour water action sequence. So, are we ready to be swept away by “Avatar 3”? Or perhaps, it might just leave us aflame with excitement?

The sequel to “Inside Out” has earned more than $1.5 billion globally, setting a record as the highest-grossing animated film ever made. This staggering figure undoubtedly encourages many production companies to focus on sequels and franchises. However, Pixar, despite planning for future earnings with “Toy Story 5” in 2026, remains dedicated to creating original narratives. They are also welcoming new storytellers outside their core team.

It’s highly likely that more Toy Story movies will be made; Toy Story 5 is scheduled for release in June 2026. However, another Pixar sequel that seems predictable now is The Incredibles 3. This project has been confirmed to be in development during the D23 event.
