Disney has released their new slate of animation movies. Parents, check out<\/a> what you’ll be watching in the near future:<\/p>\n

\nThe slate, while not entirely a surprise to Disney followers, is certainly ambitious. Over the next five years, Disney’s offerings will include a quartet of straight-to-DVD animated features starring Tinker Bell and her friends; the company’s first hand-drawn musical in nearly two decades, “The Princess and the Frog”; a 3-D retelling of “Rapunzel”; and much-anticipated additional installments to the “Cars” and “Toy Story” franchises.
\nAmong the original features Pixar is attempting are “Newt,” a summer 2011 film about a lizard cooling his heels in a community college science lab; “The Bear and the Bow,” a holiday 2011 fantasy about an impetuous Scottish princess; and “King of the Elves,” a 2012 offering focusing on elves and trolls who live in modern-day Mississippi.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Many of their new movies will be in 3-D<\/a>:<\/p>\n

The Walt Disney Co. said Tuesday its Pixar animation studio is committing to 3-D and will release all of its movies in the format beginning with ”Up” next year.
\n[…]
\nMeanwhile, Pixar movies will be released in 3-D and the traditional two-dimensional format, beginning in May 2009 with ”Up,” about an elderly widower who embarks on a South American adventure.
\n[…]
\nThe lineup from Walt Disney Animation Studios also includes the November release of ”Bolt,” the story of an actor dog who believes he has super powers; ”Rapunzel,” a retelling of the fairy tale set for release for Christmas 2010; and the modern-day fantasy ”King of the Elves,” set for release for Christmas 2012. Those films will be released in both 3-D and two-dimensional formats.
\nPixar’s upcoming releases include ”Toy Story 3” in June 2010; ”newt,” a love story involving the last two blue-footed newts alive, set for the summer 2011; the Scottish fantasy ”The Bear and the Bow” for Christmas 2011; and ”Cars 2” in the summer of 2012.
\nPixar also plans to rerelease the original ”Toy Story” and ”Toy Story 2” in the 3-D format.
\n[…]
\nIn ”Up,” 78-year-old Carl Fredricksen (voiced by Ed Asner) puts balloons on his house to fly to South America to fulfill a promise to his late wife to live in paradise.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

BTW, Toy Story 3 has Andy going off to college. Should be interesting. I wonder how many of these new movies I’ll be seeing since Samantha will be in HS when they come out \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
