Frozen 3andToy Story 5Will Also Be Released Soon
Not so long ago, the House of Mouse released its first original fairy taleWish.Sadly, the film did not do too well as it did not receive good reviews and grossed $244.1 million worldwide. Part of the blame for its mediocre performance has been put on the fact that the company tried to use nostalgia as bait in the movie.
Additionally, the not-so-impressive performance of the live-actionThe Little Mermaid,Disney+’sPeter Pan and Wendy,and Marvel Studios’The Marvelshas put the company in a difficult position as it spells trouble for those who wish to take the House of Mouse to new heights.

“We’re already looking forward to 2026 and beyond with Frozen 3, the first Toy Story movie since 2019.”
Furthermore, a sequel to 2016’sMoanais going to be released as a feature in November 2024. The reason for the company to bringMoana 2is that the first movie recently crossed the 1 billion hours mark of streaming on Disney+ and was the most streamed movie of 2023 on any platform in the U.S.
