Disney teases ‘Finding Dory,’ ‘Toy Story 4’ at fan event
     2015-August-17  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

    BEANSTALKS will grow, animals will walk upright, oceans will part, a forgetful fish will remember her family and toys will fall in love in Disney and Pixar Animation’s upcoming films.

    The studio previewed its animation slate and made a number of announcements at the fan convention D23 Expo on Friday, with special appearances from some voice actors including Ellen DeGeneres and Dwayne Johnson.

    John Lasseter, the chief creative officer of Pixar and Walt Disney Animation Studios, hosted the presentation, where he announced a Jack and the Beanstalk adaptation, “Gigantic,” and the title of their Dia de los Muertos film, “Coco.” It was also revealed that Shakira would be both providing an original song for and voicing a character in “Zootopia.”

    “Gigantic” director Nathan Greno (“Tangled”) said his film would be the definitive version of the fairy tale — with a few spins, including the addition of a 60-foot tall, 11-year-old girl who Jack meets when he climbs up the beanstalk.

    Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson was there as well to preview the South Pacific-set “Moana,” out Nov. 23, 2016, which follows a high spirited, 16-year-old princess 2,000 years ago. As an act of rebellion, she sets sail to a fabled island with the tattooed demi-god Maui (Johnson).

    Continuing with the international focus, “Coco,” from director Lee Unkrich (“Toy Story 3”), will be about a 12-year-old boy living with his big family in Mexico who inadvertently sets off a life-altering chain of events.

    Pixar also teased information about “Toy Story 4” and “Finding Dory,” a sequel to the 2003 film “Finding Nemo.” In the film, out June 17, 2016, the forgetful Dory (DeGeneres) endeavors to track down her family.

    Randy Newman closed out the nearly three-hour presentation with a performance of his “You’ve Got a Friend in Me” on stage in anticipation of “Toy Story 4,” which will be a love story between Woody (Tom Hanks) and Bo Peep (Annie Potts).

    Not all the films talked about are years down the line.

    Pixar’s long-delayed “The Good Dinosaur” will finally be out on Nov. 25. The film puts a new spin on the classic boy and his dog tale. Here, the “boy” is a friendly Apatosaurus named Arlo (Raymond Ochoa) and the “dog” is a feral child who walks on all fours. His name is Spot.

    “Zootopia,” out March 4, is set in a human-like city populated by animals. The film centers on bunny cop Judy Hopps (Ginnifer Godwin) who heads to the big city to pursue her law enforcement dreams. There she gets entangled with a mischievous fox, Nick Wilde (Jason Bateman).

    The bi-annual convention, in its fourth year, ran through Sunday.
