Pixar Animation Studios came to the D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event ready to tease upcoming features such as WIN OR LOSE and ELIO, confirm expected sequels such as TOY STORY 5 and INCREDIBLES 3, and announce new features: DREAM PROUCTIONS and HOPPERS.

Here’s a look at what we learned during the Disney Entertainment Showcase at the 2024 D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event.

The announcements for Pixar came as part of the Disney Entertainment Showcase which was a sold out separately ticketed add-on for the D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event. The forever-fabulous fantastic fangirl Yvette Nicole Brown was the host for an evening filled with news and reveals from across Disney’s wide umbrella of properties.

The news came from Pete Docter who invited fans inside his own mind where his Emotions were both grateful—“Inside Out 2” recently became the number-one animated film of all time—and excited about what’s next from the studio.

Win or Lose

Docter revealed the official launch date of Pixar’s first original series WIN OR LOSE, which begins streaming exclusively on Disney+ on Dec. 6, 2024. Directed, written and executive produced by Carrie Hobson and Michael Yates, and produced by David Lally, the new series reveals what it feels like to be in the shoes of eight different characters—the insecure kids, their helicopter parents, even a lovesick umpire—as they prepare for a championship softball game. Will Forte lends his voice to the coach.

WIN OR LOSE comes to Disney+ on December 6, 2024.

Dream Productions

Coming to Disney+ in 2025 is DREAM PRODUCTIONS, a just-announced series from the world of “Inside Out” about the studio inside Riley’s mind where dreams really do come true thanks to acclaimed dream director Paula Persimmon (voice of Paula Pell). Written and directed by Mike Jones and produced by Jaclyn Simon, the four-episode series also features the voices of Richard Ayoade, Amy Poehler, Maya Rudolph, Alli Maki, Kensington Tallman, Liza Lapira, Tony Hale, Lewis Black and Phyllis Smith.

Elio

The D23 audience was cosmically chosen to learn more about Pixar’s upcoming feature film ELIO. Directed by Madeline Sharafian, Domee Shi and Adrian Molina, the new adventure follows Elio, a space fanatic with an active imagination, who gets beamed up to the Communiverse, an interplanetary organization that mistakes him for Earth’s leader. Greeting fans were the voice of Elio himself, Yonas Kibreab, and Zoe Saldaña, who lends her voice to Elio’s Aunt Olga. Produced by Mary Alice Drumm, the movie also features the voices of Brad Garrett and Jameela Jamil.

ELIO lands in theaters on June 13, 2025.

Hoppers

Coming to theaters in 2026 is “Hoppers,” an all-new film from Pixar that introduces Mabel, an animal lover who seizes an opportunity to use new technology to ‘hop’ her consciousness into a life-like robotic animal: an adorable beaver. Directed by Daniel Chong and produced by Nicole Paradis Grindle, “Hoppers” features the voices of Piper Curda, Bobby Moynihan and Jon Hamm.

Toy Story 5

It’s been almost 30 years since audiences first met Buzz and Woody and what a journey they’ve had! The D23 crowd was elated to hear about Disney and Pixar’s TOY STORY 5 when Pixar veteran Andrew Stanton, who’s worked on every “Toy Story” film and helms the new movie, greeted fans and offered a few clues about the new story. This time around, it’s Toy meets Tech when Buzz, Woody, Jessie and the rest of the gang’s jobs get exponentially harder as they go head to head with this all-new threat to playtime. Co-directed by McKenna Harris and produced by Jessica Choi,

TOY STORY 5 opens only in theaters on June 19, 2026.

Incredibles 3

Docter had one final announcement before he bid adieu. Fans’ favorite Super-family is heading back to the big screen—“Incredibles 3” is officially in the works at Pixar Animation Studios with Oscar®-winning filmmaker Brad Bird currently developing the film.
