It’s been a rough year for Disney. The Mouse House has struggled in just about every way, with both Marvel and their vaunted animated films disappointing critically and at the box office. Truthfully, they’ve never really bounced back from the pandemic, which saw many potential blockbusters going straight to Disney+. Pixar was affected most by the move to streaming, with three films in a row to hit theaters. Well, that’s all about to get corrected in 2024.
Disney has announced that in 2024 we’ll finally see the theatrical release of Soul, Luca, and Turning Red. All three Pixar films were relatively well-received, but never got a chance on the big screen. It all begins in January with the release of Soul, followed by Turning Red in February and closing out with Luca in March.
Keep in mind that these films have been available for quite a while. Will audiences show up and pay for them in theaters now? We’ll just have to wait and see. But you never know; movies get re-released all of the time and do quite well. Surely there are a few people out there who don’t have Disney+, right?
Check out the release dates followed by a fun announcement promo. Personally, I’m pretty eager to see Turning Red again, and think it might be even better this time.
“Soul” – January 12, 2024
“Turning Red” – February 9, 2024
“Luca” – March 22, 2024
