This year’s D23 convention welcomed a lot of exciting and new events. Disney unveiled their latest plans for the parks and offered a first glimpse into anticipated movies like Snow White.
Our favorite part from the weekend had to be the announcement of all the upcoming animated films. Below, discover everything they shared, including awaited sequels and original stories.
Moana 2 — Nov. 27, 2024
While you await the release of the live-action Moana in 2026, enjoy the sequel to the original animation. In this next installment, Moana and Maui reunite for another adventure to save her island and family from the wrath of Matangi, an underworld goddess. Oh, and Moana’s got an adorable new baby sister, too.

Elio — June 13, 2025
Say hello to Disney and Pixar’s latest original animated film, Elio. This sci-fi adventure film follows Elio, “an underdog with an active adventure.” Our lead finds himself in the Communiverse and must take on the role of Earth’s ambassador, commencing a journey of self-discovery.
Zootopia 2 — Nov. 26, 2025
Zootopia 2 might be our most anticipated release of 2025. It’s a criminally underrated film. After almost one decade of radio silence, they’ve confirmed it will arrive next November. We’ll watch Nick and Judy fight crime once again. But this time, we’ll get an exciting appearance from one of the most lovable actors, Ke Huy Quan, who will play the role of Gary.

Hoppers — March 6, 2026
Joining Elio in Pixar’s growing roster, Hoppers will see a beaver, Mabel, learning the ropes of the animal kingdom. When a real-estate developer threatens their plot, Mabel must work alongside the other furry creatures to save their world from utter destruction by human invasion.
Toy Story 5 — June 19, 2026
After the Toy Story 4 ending, we didn’t think Woody, Buzz and the gang would return. On June 19, 2026, we’ll reconvene with our favorite ensemble. We’re unsure what the full scope of the plot is, but we know they’ll go against the most critical threat to toys: iPads.
Frozen 3 — Nov. 27, 2027
We all knew it was coming. Anna, Elsa, Olaf and Kristoff will return in 2027. The film is currently in development, so we don’t know what kind of trouble they’ll get into this time, but we’re sure it’ll be worth the three-year wait.
The Incredibles 3 — TBA
Get ready to watch your favorite superhero family suit up once again. As we know, it was a long wait with little news between the first and second Incredibles. But, hey, it’s only been four years since the sequel, and we already know another addition to the franchise is underway. Unfortunately, we don’t have much information on the storyline or a release date. We’ll keep you updated when more comes out.
