Pixar’s Upcoming Films: 5 Movies To Look Out For

Pixar owned the 90s and 2000s with Toy Story, the 1995 film that changed animation forever. For years, the animation studio won over both critics and fans with its smart storytelling and emotional moments.

Then came the 2010s, when they shifted their focus and leaned harder into sequels and prequels like Finding Dory, Incredibles 2, and Toy Story 4. The 2020s started off rough as Soul, Onward, and Turning Red didn’t do well at the box office.

However, Pixar bounced back in 2023 when Elemental turned into a surprise hit after a slow start. Just a year later, Inside Out 2 smashed records and became the second highest-grossing animated movie of all time. Now, Pixar looks set to focus even more on sequels and some new original films in the years ahead, and with that, here are five upcoming Pixar movies to keep an eye on.
