Announcements, new looks at D23: Tangled live-action, Frozen 3 and more

Pixar boss Peter Docter revealed more about The Incredibles 3, which will shift some of the focus towards Violet and Dash as they attempt to prove they are ready to become proper superheroes. Jack-Jack continues to be Jack-Jack, which presumably means nobody is getting much sleep. Peter Sohn directs from a script by Brad Bird, with Craig T. Nelson (Coach), Sarah Vowell and Huck Milner returning as Bob, Violet and Dash.

Frozen will be returning with the third installment. Kristen Bell (The Good Place) appeared at the presentation to reveal one significant plot point from Frozen 3: Anna is getting married.

More shows announced by Disney: Lilo & Stitch 2, Hexed and more

Disney Animation’s Hexed has added two particularly good voices to its cast. Jodie Foster (True Detective: Night Country) will voice Queen Celeste, while Walton Goggins (The White Lotus) plays Beef Roger, described as a three-eyed green cat wearing a pink coat who serves as the witch’s sidekick. They join Hailee Steinfeld (Hawkeye) in the animated film, which arrives this November 25.

Disney and Pixar also unveiled another look at Gatto, which is due in cinemas in March 2027. Meanwhile, the first teaser landed for The Bluey Movie, bringing everyone’s favourite Australian Blue Heeler family to the big screen on August 6, 2027.

The Ice Age franchise is returning once again with Ice Age: Boiling Point. Queen Latifah and Denis Leary appeared at D23 to tease the latest animated adventure, which arrives on February 5, 2027, in cinemas.

Following the live-action remake, Disney is wasting little time pushing ahead with Lilo & Stitch 2. Maia Kealoha, who plays Lilo, appeared at D23 and revealed the sequel will introduce Angel, Stitch’s pink counterpart from the wider franchise. It is scheduled to release on May 28, 2028.
