Following their Pixar and Marvel presentations, Disney teased a bunch of its main studio films at its D23 presentation tonight.
First up, they announced “Zootopia 3” in the wake of last year’s second film becoming the company’s highest-grossing animated movie of all time with $1.8 billion worldwide. Ginnifer Goodwin and Ke Huy Quan were on hand to confirm their characters will return for the third film which is now in development.
Next, the studio also showed a first look at the sequel to last year’s live-action “Lilo & Stitch” film. Maia Kealoha, who plays Lilo in the films, appeared to show a first look at Stitch’s pink counterpart Angel/Experiment 624 who has two antennae. The intergalactic alien becomes Stitch’s love interest and was first introduced in “Lilo & Stitch: The Series”. “Lilo & Stitch II” will arrive in cinemas on May 26th 2028.
Speaking of love interests, Josh Gad’s Olaf is getting one named Samantha in the upcoming third “Frozen” film at Disney. That was one of a few new details about the movie revealed at the presentation which also showed off the first concept art. The film, which opens Thanksgiving 2027, will also see Anna and Kristoff get married.
Also shown was a look at the first footage from Disney’s live-action “Tangled” which is currently filming in Spain. Kathryn Hahn appeared to introduce the footage which was shown only in the room. The film stars Teagan Croft as Rapunzel and Milo Manheim as Flynn Rider along with Hahn as Mother Gothel and Diego Luna in a new role.
Next, a first look was revealed of the three-part mini-series “Oswald the Lucky Rabbit” which combines live-action footage with hand-drawn 2D animation to bring the early Disney character to life. Jon Favreau penned and directed the mini-series which launches February 2027. Amy Sedaris, Kathryn Hahn, Steve Martin, Al Madrigal, Ravi Cabot-Conyers, Mykal-Michelle Harris and Ryder Allen lend their voices.
Disney also announced a new original film called “Clay” which is coming to cinemas in 2028. Kieran Culkin leads the voice cast of “Clay” which has a very colorful look. First look art can be seen below.
Finally, Jodie Foster and Walton Goggins were announced as joining the cast of Disney’s next animated movie “Hexed” opening in November this year. Foster will play a devious witch queen, while Goggins will play a three-eyed cat named Beef Roger Crummchuk. Hailee Steinfeld and Rashida Jones star in the film about a teenage oddball and her Type A mom, who discovers her weirdness is actually hidden magic, transporting them to a world where magic can run free.
