Incredibles 2
Director: Brad Bird
Release Date: 13th July 2018
Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures
Thirteen years in Incredibles years equates to about five minutes, for that’s how much time has passed between the two movies. To think how eternally young we’d be in animated form. To think. Without ageing up our fantastic five, another dose of family values awaits, this time with added baby talk. And lasers.
Coco
Director: Lee Unkrich
Release Date: 19th January 2018
Walt Disney Studios, Pixar Animation Studios
Pixar as a company tend to be ahead of the curve when it comes to making interesting animated concepts, from bugs to toys. But with Coco, the Day of the Dead related idea already feels done to death in popular culture, spanning numerous films and bars. But what Pixar have that others don’t, when they aren’t making Cars, is that ability to make those death masks feel like their own. So let’s celebrate The Day of the Dead, once more, with new vigour!
Cars 3
Director: Brian Fee
Release Date: 14th July 2017
Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures
The Cars franchise is over ten years old, can you believe it? Lightning McQueen has been spinning round those NASCAR circuits longer in the time I’ve gone from being a hopeful college student to a miserable late twenties piece of curled up skin in the corner of a dark room. Because the light would raise those monthly bills. It seems Cars 3 is aware of such a time gap, and in the world of automobiles eleven years is a heck of a long time. Feel that rust, and let’s get racing!
