The studio has postponed the theatrical release of its forthcoming Pixar title directed by Pete Docter and voice starring Jamie Foxx.

Disney has officially pushed Soul from June 19 to November 20, which means that Raya and the Last Dragon originally set to open on November 25, will now open on March 12, 2021.

Soul is the latest pic to be reshuffled which includes Mulan, which has been pushed to July 24, Black Widow now set to hit theaters November 7 and The Eternals set to premiere February 2021. This means that due to the ongoing pandemic situation there are no Disney movies set to open in theaters until the end of July.

Onward premiers on March 6th and will include a character called Officer Specter, a policewoman who references her girlfriend in one of the scenes.

It should be noted that although it is not the first LGBTQ character that appears in a Disney film, it is the first to do so while openly identifying herself as part of the LGBTQ community. It also should be noted that she’s not a major character in the movie.

According to the movie’s producer Kori Rae, the inclusion of Officer Specter is a way to “open up the world a little bit” and to “represent the modern world.”

Speaking to Yahoo entertainment, Rae voiced his excitement over the performance of actor Lena Waithe, who voiced Officer Specter. Waithe is also openly gay. Rae said he would love to see “an Officer Specter spinoff.”

Dan Scanlon, the movie’s director, also voiced his excitement about the scene, saying it is important, because it’s representative of modern society.

Pixar’s next next film, Soul, will star some major names including Jamie Foxx and Tina Fey as the leads. Also lending their voices are Daveed Diggs, Phylicia Rashad, and Questlove. 

The original animated film hails from recently named Chief Creative Office Pete Docter, who previously helmed Monsters, Inc., Up, and Inside Out for the studio. The news was announced by Docter, producer Dana Murray, co-director and writer Ken Powers, and writer Mike Jones at D23 on Saturday.

“I’m directing a film that asks the ultimate question that we’ve all thought about at one time or another: Why am I here? Where did I come from? And what am I here for?” Docter revealed. “But who would make a cartoon about that? Metaphysics? We’re calling it Soul.”

Soul will arrive in theaters on June 19th, 2020

A trailer for the fourth installment of the hugely successful Toy Story franchise is here and fans have been officially introduced to the gang’s newest plaything, Forky, a makeshift toy made out of a plastic utensil with pipe-cleaners and google eyes. Forky is voiced by comedian Tony Hale (Veep).

The short video features the old gang including Sheriff Woody, Buzz Lightyear, Rex, Slinky Dog, Mr. & Mrs. Potato Head floating through the air to sounds of Joni Mitchell’s “Both Sides Now” when mid-flight Forky screams, “I don’t belong here!” “I’m not a toy!” This sets off an unfortunate chain reaction causing the toys to crash into each other. Towards the end we hear Woody tell the group, ”Hey! Hey! Somebody get him before he pokes an eye out.”

“Woody has always been confident about his place in the world and that his priority is taking care of his kid, whether that’s Andy or Bonnie. But when Bonnie adds a reluctant new toy called ‘Forky’ to her room, a road trip adventure alongside old and new friends will show Woody how big the world can be for a toy,” reads the official logline for the upcoming film.

Director Josh Cooley said, “Like most people, I assumed that Toy Story 3 was the end of the story. And it was the end of Woody’s story with Andy. But just like in life, every ending is a new beginning. Woody now being in a new room, with new toys, and a new kid, was something we have never seen before. The questions of what that would be like became the beginning of an entertaining story worth exploring.”

He continued: “The world of Toy Story is built upon the idea that everything in the world has a purpose. A toy’s purpose is to be there for its child. But what about toys that are made out of other objects? Forky is a toy that Bonnie made out of a disposable spork, so he’s facing a crisis. He wants to fulfill his purpose as a spork, but now has a new toy purpose thrust upon him.”

Toy Story 4 hits theaters June 21, 2019. Check out the trailer below!

The film focuses on a 12-year-old boy and the celebration of the Day of the Dead and its music. It set a box office record in Mexico with $56.8 million following a late October launch ahead of the holiday.

The success is even bigger when we know, as Disney noted, that the movie has yet to be released in around a third of the international market. Among the audiences that still haven’t seen it are Italy, Brazil, Australia, U.K., Japan and Korea.

The Chinese market has brought the most of the international success so far. It has earned nearly as much as the domestic market – $133 million.
