The Good Dinosaur is the next outing from Pixar, hitting theaters this Thanksgiving. Given the big year with dinosaurs, and Jurassic World, it’s a safe bet to say that The Good Dinosaur will be huge. The new footage gave us our first look at three T-rexes, voiced by Sam Elliot, Anna Paquin and AJ Buckley. The new story tells of a dinosaur and his boy, in a world where the huge asteroid didn’t wipe out all the dinosaurs.

The previously untitled Day of the Dead film, had some details revealed, including the name. CoCo will center on a 12 year old Mexican Boy named Miguel, and will focus on the holiday in a round about way. Test footage was shown, and while it was absolutely gorgeous, it still had a way to go. The new film also hasn’t gotten a release date, but we’re going to guess it will be sometime in at least 2019.

Finally, John Lasseter came out with an army, Bo Beep and more as the crew announced the 20th anniversary of Toy Story. It’s hard to believe that 20 years has passed since we’ve found our friends in the toy box. In June of 2017, we’ll get an all new full length Toy Story film, with Toy Story 4. Details have been kind of tight, but the big story is that Bo Beep and Woody will somehow have their story, and relationship.
While there are posters out for Cars 3, and Incredibles 2, there were no release dates announced.
