After 'Peaches', enter Pandas. In retrospect, why this hasn't happened before is beyond me. This is the 4th movie. Still rumored to come out March 2024, and if there's no trailer with Migration, assume it's pushed back.

Also, apparently, 'Peaches' was a somewhat last minute addition as a super short ditty that Black expanded on. Icon!

Soul, Turning Red, and Luca will be in theaters in 2024;


They initially premiered in limited release in 2021-2022 for awards contention and then on Disney+. Variety says they will be worldwide! Mainly bc Disney doesn't have a major release until Inside Out 2 in June. They will still be on Disney+.

''Even in a year packed with impressive small-screen sci-fi, Scavengers Reign stands alone in its eerie, absorbing originality.''

Be sure to watch it on MAX before it's removed for a tax break!

According to the union, after COVID restrictions were lifted and return-to-work protocols were initiated, various employers told remote animation workers that their working arrangements would fall outside contractual boundaries.

Boo! I hope they make it!
