Brian Fee, Mark Andrews, and Domee Shi have been working on original films.[12][13][14] In 2018, FC Barcelona approached Pixar with talks to create a film.[15]
Production cycle
In July 2013, Pixar Studios President Edwin Catmull said that the studio planned to release one original film each year, and a sequel every other year, as part of a strategy to release "one and a half movies a year."[16] On July 3, 2016, Pixar president Jim Morris revealed that after Toy Story 4, there are no plans for further sequels, and right now Pixar is only developing original ideas with five films currently in the works (including Onward and Soul).[17]
Cancelled projects
In 2005, Pixar began collaborating with Disney and Warner Bros. on a live-action film adaptation of James Dalessandro's novel 1906, with Brad Bird attached to direct.[18] It would have marked Pixar's first involvement in a live-action production. The film was abandoned by Disney and Pixar due to script problems and an estimated budget of $200 million, and it is now in limbo at Warner Bros.[19] In June 2018, Bird mentioned the possibility of adapting the novel as a TV series, with the earthquake sequence as a feature film.[20]
A Pixar film titled Newt was announced in April 2008, with Pixar planning to release it in 2011,[21] which was later bumped to 2012,[22] but it had finally been canceled by early 2010.[23][24] John Lasseter noted that the film's proposed plot line was similar to another film, Blue Sky Studios' Rio, which was released in 2011.[25] In March 2014, in an interview, Pixar president Edwin Catmull stated that Newt was an idea that was not working in pre-production. When the project was passed to Pete Docter, the director of Monsters, Inc. and Up, he pitched an idea that Pixar thought was better, and that concept became Inside Out.[26][27]
In 2010, Henry Selick formed a joint venture with Pixar called Cinderbiter Productions, which was to exclusively produce stop-motion films.[28] Its first planned feature ShadeMaker was set for release in October 2013,[29] but was canceled in 2012 due to creative differences.[29][30] An adaptation of Neil Gaiman's novel The Graveyard Book was also planned.[31] Selick was given the option to shop ShadeMaker (now titled The Shadow King) to other studios.[32] In January 2013, Ron Howard was hired to direct The Graveyard Book.[33]
In addition, when the now-defunct Circle 7 Animation was open, there were plans for sequels to Finding Nemo (which Pixar made their own sequel in Finding Dory) and Monsters, Inc. (which Pixar made an unrelated prequel in the form of Monsters University), as well as a different version of Toy Story 3.[34] Pixar's later sequels had no basis in Circle 7's projects, and were created completely separately.
Co-production
Buzz Lightyear of Star Command: The Adventure Begins is a traditionally animated direct-to-video film produced by Disney Television Animation with an opening sequence created by Pixar. The film was released on August 8, 2000, and led to a television series, with Pixar creating the CGI portion of the opening theme.[35]
Collaboration
Pixar assisted in the English localization of several Studio Ghibli films, mainly those from Hayao Miyazaki.[36]
Pixar was brought onboard to fine tune the script for The Muppets.[37] The film was released on November 23, 2011.
Pixar assisted with the story development for The Jungle Book, as well as providing suggestions for the film's end credits sequence. The film was released on April 15, 2016. Additional special thanks credit was given to Mark Andrews.[38]
Mary Poppins Returns includes a sequence combining live-action and traditional hand-drawn animation. The animation was supervised by Ken Duncan and James Baxter. Over 70 animators specializing in hand-drawn 2D animation from Pixar and Walt Disney Animation Studios were recruited for the sequence.[39] The film was released on December 19, 2018.
Related productions
Planes is a spin-off of the Cars franchise, produced by the now defunct Disneytoon Studios and co-written and executive produced by John Lasseter. The film was conceived from the short film Air Mater, which introduces aspects of Planes and ends with a hint of the film. It was released on August 9, 2013. A sequel, Planes: Fire & Rescue, was released on July 18, 2014. A third Planes film was announced in July 2017, with a planned release on April 12, 2019,[40] but was subsequently removed from the release schedule on March 1, 2018.[41] The film was eventually canceled when Disneytoon Studios shut down on June 28, 2018.[42]
Ralph Breaks the Internet, produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios and co-executive produced by Lasseter, features Kelly Macdonald reprising her role as Merida from Brave,[43] as well as a cameo from Tim Allen reprising his role as Buzz Lightyear from the Toy Story franchise,[44] and a sample of Patrick Doyle's score from Brave.[44] The film, released on November 21, 2018, also features many visual references to Pixar and its films.[45] Additionally, Andrew Stanton received a "Narrative Guru" credit.[44]

In July 2013, Pixar Studios President Edwin Catmull said that the studio planned to release one original film each year, and a sequel every other year, as part of a strategy to release "one and a half movies a year."[16] On July 3, 2016, Pixar president Jim Morris revealed that after Toy Story 4, there are no plans for further sequels, and right now Pixar is only developing original ideas with five films currently in the works (including Onward and Soul).[17]
Cancelled projects
In 2005, Pixar began collaborating with Disney and Warner Bros. on a live-action film adaptation of James Dalessandro's novel 1906, with Brad Bird attached to direct.[18] It would have marked Pixar's first involvement in a live-action production. The film was abandoned by Disney and Pixar due to script problems and an estimated budget of $200 million, and it is now in limbo at Warner Bros.[19] In June 2018, Bird mentioned the possibility of adapting the novel as a TV series, with the earthquake sequence as a feature film.[20]
A Pixar film titled Newt was announced in April 2008, with Pixar planning to release it in 2011,[21] which was later bumped to 2012,[22] but it had finally been canceled by early 2010.[23][24] John Lasseter noted that the film's proposed plot line was similar to another film, Blue Sky Studios' Rio, which was released in 2011.[25] In March 2014, in an interview, Pixar president Edwin Catmull stated that Newt was an idea that was not working in pre-production. When the project was passed to Pete Docter, the director of Monsters, Inc. and Up, he pitched an idea that Pixar thought was better, and that concept became Inside Out.[26][27]
In 2010, Henry Selick formed a joint venture with Pixar called Cinderbiter Productions, which was to exclusively produce stop-motion films.[28] Its first planned feature ShadeMaker was set for release in October 2013,[29] but was canceled in 2012 due to creative differences.[29][30] An adaptation of Neil Gaiman's novel The Graveyard Book was also planned.[31] Selick was given the option to shop ShadeMaker (now titled The Shadow King) to other studios.[32] In January 2013, Ron Howard was hired to direct The Graveyard Book.[33]
In addition, when the now-defunct Circle 7 Animation was open, there were plans for sequels to Finding Nemo (which Pixar made their own sequel in Finding Dory) and Monsters, Inc. (which Pixar made an unrelated prequel in the form of Monsters University), as well as a different version of Toy Story 3.[34] Pixar's later sequels had no basis in Circle 7's projects, and were created completely separately.
Co-production
Buzz Lightyear of Star Command: The Adventure Begins is a traditionally animated direct-to-video film produced by Disney Television Animation with an opening sequence created by Pixar. The film was released on August 8, 2000, and led to a television series, with Pixar creating the CGI portion of the opening theme.[35]
Collaboration
Pixar assisted in the English localization of several Studio Ghibli films, mainly those from Hayao Miyazaki.[36]
Pixar was brought onboard to fine tune the script for The Muppets.[37] The film was released on November 23, 2011.
Pixar assisted with the story development for The Jungle Book, as well as providing suggestions for the film's end credits sequence. The film was released on April 15, 2016. Additional special thanks credit was given to Mark Andrews.[38]
Mary Poppins Returns includes a sequence combining live-action and traditional hand-drawn animation. The animation was supervised by Ken Duncan and James Baxter. Over 70 animators specializing in hand-drawn 2D animation from Pixar and Walt Disney Animation Studios were recruited for the sequence.[39] The film was released on December 19, 2018.
Related productions
Planes is a spin-off of the Cars franchise, produced by the now defunct Disneytoon Studios and co-written and executive produced by John Lasseter. The film was conceived from the short film Air Mater, which introduces aspects of Planes and ends with a hint of the film. It was released on August 9, 2013. A sequel, Planes: Fire & Rescue, was released on July 18, 2014. A third Planes film was announced in July 2017, with a planned release on April 12, 2019,[40] but was subsequently removed from the release schedule on March 1, 2018.[41] The film was eventually canceled when Disneytoon Studios shut down on June 28, 2018.[42]
Ralph Breaks the Internet, produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios and co-executive produced by Lasseter, features Kelly Macdonald reprising her role as Merida from Brave,[43] as well as a cameo from Tim Allen reprising his role as Buzz Lightyear from the Toy Story franchise,[44] and a sample of Patrick Doyle's score from Brave.[44] The film, released on November 21, 2018, also features many visual references to Pixar and its films.[45] Additionally, Andrew Stanton received a "Narrative Guru" credit.[44]
