24 Confirmed New Disney Films (& 24 Rumoured) Coming 2020-27

14. PREDICTED - Lilo & Stitch

Release Date: 27th May 2022

When it was - strangely - confirmed to be getting the live-action treatment, there was some suspicion that the Lilo & Stitch remake was going to be destined for Disney+ only, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

The remake will be headed by the same team behind the Aladdin remake - Dan Lin and Jonathan Eirich - and honestly, the original is so charming and under-appreciated that it's great to see. The merchandise sales for the characters tell you exactly why Disney are looking at remaking it and if it sends people back to re-love the original more, then that's a true victory for anyone with actual good taste.

13. PREDICTED - Pete Docter's Original Pixar Project

Release Date: 17th June 2022

As with Mark Andrews and Brian Fee's Pixar projects, Pete Docter also has one on the cards. And since he's been partly responsible for some of the most beloved Pixar films in Monsters Inc and Inside Out, that's something to really get excited by.

It's a bit of a shame we won't be getting a sequel in either of those franchises for now, but Docter is one of the most accomplished Pixar writers (he developed the stories for Wall-E and the Toy Story series) so this one - whatever it may be - is in good hands.

He has previously compared his original idea toInside Out, calling it “new and equally weird," which is both vague and delightfully intriguing.

NCTJ-qualified journalist. Most definitely not a racing driver. Drink too much tea; eat too much peanut butter; watch too much TV. Sadly only the latter paying off so far. A mix of wise-old man in a young man's body with a child-like wonder about him and a great otherworldly sensibility.
