The film will be about supersonic jets in space. It will be directed by Klay Hall and Bobs Gannaway, it is due out April 12, 2019. Next up, was an update on "Olaf's Frozen Adventure" which will return all 21 voices of the original cast. Kristen Bell (Anna) and Josh Gad (Olaf) showed up and sang one of the new original songs from the 21-minute short that will premiere before Pixar's "Coco."
Guests at the D23 Expo were then treated to the first trailer for "Wreck-It Ralph 2" (it has not been put up on the internet yet). Sarah Silverman (Vanellope Von Schweetz) along with directors Rich Moore and Phil Johnston were on hand to help debut the trailer. Also brought on was a new character named Yesss voiced by Taraji P. Henson.
"Wreck-It Ralph 2" tells the story of Ralph and Vanellope breaking the internet to find the pieces to fix Sugar Rush. The clips they showed Ralph and Vanellope visiting OhMyDisney.com, which looks a lot like Disneyland. Stan Lee among other things make cameo appearances in the scene including the likes of Disney Tsum Tsums, Buzz Lightyear, and C-3PO.
The biggest news however was that all the Disney Princesses will lend their voices for the film. That list includes: Paige O'Hara (Belle), Jodi Benson (Ariel), Linda Larkin (Jasmine), Anika Noni Rose (Tiana), Mandy Moore (Rapunzel), Irene Bedard (Pocahontas), Kelly MacDonald (Merida), Kristen Bell (Anna), and Auli’i Cravalho (Moana), who all appeared on stage.
The scene plays out like this with Vanellope saying this about Merida, "I can't understand her." With the Disney princesses responding, "She's from the other studio." This film looks hilarious and I can't wait until next March.
Next up, was the "Incredibles 2" which opened up with a tribute to Edna Mode.
Director Brad Bird and the cast including Samuel L. Jackson took the stage to talk about the film. The film takes place right where the first film left off. The movie shows how the Incredibles are more human. The clip that was shown where Baby Jack-Jack faces off with a raccoon. Jack Jack discovers his powers in the film.Edna Mode is always a la mode.

Guests got a first look at a new paper doll-like character named Lulu from the film. The storyline right now could be involved around an RV trip. The film is due out Summer 2019.
Pixar's next new film which does not have a release date is set in a suburban fantasy world and will be directed by Dan Scanlon. Scanlon said he drew inspiration on how he wanted to know who his father was and how he was like him. More details on this untitled film will be released at the next D23 Expo in 2019.
The final movie previewed during the panel was Pixar's "Coco" which will hit theaters in November. A new image of the film was released plus a longer look at the film showing the rich beauty of the film and how it explores the family aspect of Miguel's passion for music.
A new song called "Remember Me" was revealed as it is written by Bobby Lopez and Kristen Anderson Lopez. Another clip was shown of Miguel exploring the Land of the Dead. The song "Remember Me" was then performed to end the panel by Benjamin Brett who plays the character Ernesto.
Stay tuned throughout the weekend for more news out of the D23 Expo.
