Pixar in the pipeline

Pixar president Jim Morris spills the beans on the studio'€™s features that are due to hit theaters in the next three years.

'€˜Inside Out'€™
Release date: Aug 19, 2015

After presenting the adventures of curmudgeon and an 8-year-old boy in Up, director Pete Docter is working on Inside Out, a story about five emotions in the mind of a girl named Riley, who is uprooted from her Midwest life when her father gets a new job in San Francisco.

'€œIt is a film about five emotions in 11-year-old girl'€™s head and it'€™s really unique, it'€™s very funny but very touchy and very emotional film,'€ Morris said.

'€˜The Good Dinosaur'€™
Release Date: Nov. 25, 2015

Once upon a time, there was Arlo, an apatosaurus with a big heart, who embarks on a remarkable journey with an unlikely companion '€” a human boy.

'€œThey are enemies at first but they build this relationship and are kind of forced together on a journey of survival. It is really a coming-of-age story for the dinosaur,'€ Morris says. '€œIt'€™s set in nature and it has these expansive worlds ['€¦.] some of them were actuallY created by taking geological data.'€

'€˜Finding Dory'€™
Release date: June 16, 2016

Remember Dory? A Pacific regal blue tang with short-term memory loss who accompanies a clownfish searching for Nemo? After directing Finding Nemo, Andrew Stanton will present us the (hopefully unforgettable) adventure of Dory.

'€œHe [Stanton] wasn'€™t interested in making another film in that world but then came up with an idea,'€ Morris said. '€œHe is making that. And that'€™s sort of our approach '€” we actually don'€™t make another film or sequel or anything like that. It must have the director of the original film behind it.'€

'€˜Toy Story 4'€™

Release date: 2017

The fourth installment of Toy Story will take a new turn: Love. Taking the helm is John Lasseter, Pixar'€™s chief creative officer and the director of the first two films of the franchise.

Rashida Jones and Will McCormack, who previously penned the romantic-comedy Celeste and Jesse Forever, will write the script.

'€œIt doesn'€™t try to be the next chapter for the first three. It'€™s kind of the new chapter and it'€™s a love story,'€ Morris said. '€œIt is a little bit more internal to these characters, and a little less about their interaction with the kids. They [Jones and McCormack] are really bringing kind of unique sensibility to it, which is great.'€
