Disney and Pixar announce 8 untitled movies for 2016-2018

The animation giants at Disney and Pixar have a pretty packed schedule over the next couple of years (Disney has Planes, Frozen and Big Hero 6 set to land this year and next, while Pixar are due to release Monsters University, The Good Dinosaur, Inside Out, Finding Dory and the 'Untitled Dia de los Muertos Project' between now and 2016) and we can now add even more offerings to their upcoming slate, with Disney-Pixar announcing release dates for an additional eight as-yet-untitled movies arriving between 2016 and 2018.

A few weeks back, Disney CEO indicated that Pixar has several sequels in the works, so presumably at least one of their four titles will include a follow-up to an earlier classic (Toy Story 4? The Incredibles 2? Cars 3?), but considering the time frame until these films are due to hit cinemas, we should probably expect a lengthy wait before we hear any concrete details. However, one thing is for certain - between these animated movies, Phase Three of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and the return of the Star Wars saga, we're going to be seeing an awful lot of that Disney logo on the big screen in the coming years...
