Toy Story 4 and The Incredibles 2 Switch Release Dates, Muppet Babies Making a Return, and More

Toy Story 4 and The Incredibles 2 Switch Release Dates:

Pixar has decided that "Toy Story 4" just won't be ready for its 2018 release date and will be switching release dates with "The Incredibles 2." Now "Toy Story 4" will be released on June 21, 2019 and "The Incredibles 2" will now be released on June 15, 2018.

"Toy Story 4" will open a new chapter of Buzz, Woody, and the Toy Story gang. It will be directed by John Lasseter himself and is written by Rashida Jones and Will McCormack. 

“We love these characters so much; they are like family to us,” said Lasseter. “We don’t want to do anything with them unless it lives up to or surpasses what’s gone before. Toy Story 3 ended Woody and Buzz’s story with Andy so perfectly that for a long time, we never even talked about doing another Toy Story movie. But when Andrew, Pete, Lee and I came up with this new idea, I just could not stop thinking about it. It was so exciting to me, I knew we had to make this movie—and I wanted to direct it myself.” - John Lasseter.

Brad Bird who is directing the "The Incredibles 2" has just said it will be more "Incredibles" and that he isn't giving anything away and it will be a surprise for fans.

Muppet Babies Making a Return in 2018 on Disney Junior:

"Wocka, Wocka, Wocka!" Go crazy Muppets fans because the Muppet Babies are returning to tv very soon. Muppet Babies, the animated tv show that ran from 1984 to 1991 will be coming to Disney Junior in 2018. The adorable versions of Kermit, Piggy, Fozzie, Animal, and Gonzo will be returning where the new series will be chronicling their playroom antics once again. Even Miss Nanny will be returning.

The show will co-produced by Disney Junior, Disney Consumer Products and Interactive Media's (DCPI) Content & Media Group, and The Muppets Studio, and will be CG-animated this time around. Each episode will feature two 11-minute stories about the Muppet Babies' adventures. The iconic characters will be doing anything from building a time machine to flying through outer-space.

The series will be geared towards children ages 4-7, but we all know millennials everywhere will want to bring the nostalgia back and watch the show too. The show will highlight creative and critical thinking. 

For one I can't wait to see this show as I loved the Muppet Babies when I was younger. 

"Once Upon A Time" Projection Show Replacing "Celebrate the Magic":

This morning the Disney Parks Blog announced that a new nighttime projection show is coming to the Magic Kingdom beginning November 4. This means we will be saying goodbye to "Celebrate the Magic" which will be ending its run at the park on November 3. 

"In this new show, Mrs. Potts from “Beauty and the Beast” shares bedtime stories with Chip, taking them (and all of us) on a magical trip through the most adventurous scenes from favorite Disney films like “Cinderella,” “Peter Pan,” “Alice in Wonderland” and “The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh.”
Scenes that are expected to be guest-favorites include a flight with Peter Pan from London to Never Land, the Mad Hatter’s whimsical tea party, and a daring duel between Gaston and Beast. Mrs. Potts and Chip end their bedtime story with a grand finale that includes appearances by characters from even more Disney films."

"Once Upon A Time" was inspired by a show in similar name in Tokyo Disneyland. It will use projection mapping technology to cover every nook and cranny of Cinderella Castle in vibrant images that will appear almost three-dimensional. You can check the My Disney Experience App for show times and more information on the new show.

Disneyland Debuts D-Tech on Demand on D Street:

Today, much like the location in Disney World, Disneyland debuted its own D-Tech on Demand at D Street in the Downtown Disney District. Here guests will be able to create their own personalized electronic accessory case. The new location will debut 10 new designs including art designs of the Disneyland Resort Diamond Celebration and selections from the WonderGround Gallery artists like Jasmine Becket-Griffith, Jerod Maruyama, and many other artists.

The store will offer cases for the following phones: iPhone 4/4S, iPhone 5/5S, iPhone 5c, iPhone 6/6+, Samsung Galaxy SIII, Samsung Galaxy 4, Samsung Galaxy 5, and Samsung Galaxy 6. The whole process from start to finish takes about 10-15 minutes, with some art even allowing guests with enough room to personalize the case with their name.

Kevin-Michael Lezotte, Merchandiser II, had this to say on the opening and the process, "We continue to make updates both in art selection and the process. We've watched our fans interact and listened to what they have to say. Now you'll find an easier, faster, and more user-intuitive process. We're really excited to finally be able to roll this out to our west coast fans who have been waiting so patiently for it's arrival. It's such a great opportunity for our fans to find rare Disney characters and even casual art. What's Next? You'll have to wait and see. But several of the art styles that will debut in the near future, are quite episodic and are out of this world."

Director Brad Bird Gives Scoop on "The Incredibles 2":

Last month, at the D23 EXPO, Pixar revealed at it animation booth that they are finally working on the sequel to "The Incredibles." No release date has been announced but, Collider got the scoop from director Brad Bird on the upcoming sequel. He began writing the script earlier this year and had this to say about where he's at: "I have the story arc. I'm probably three-quarters through the script, first pass through the script, but we're already boarding parts of it. I've got a lot of people that worked on the first one working on it, so we're all having a good time with it."

He then added this on what fans can expect from the sequel. He had no plot details but added that there are a lot more superhero films now that there were when "The Incredibles" was released in 2004. He said: "But what's changed is there were only two other superhero franchises at the time Incredibles came out. One of them was X-Men and the other was Spider-Man, and now there are 400 billion of them and there's a new superhero movie every two weeks. What you don't want to do is trot over the same turf in the same way everyone else is. So we're trying to keep it focused in the area that our film was, which was a little bit more about characters and relationships and stuff like that, and see where that takes us. But we're having a good time."

Although it wasn't much, I am very excited about the sequel to "The Incredibles." This is one sequel I am hoping I won't be disappointed with. Are you as excited about "The Incredibles 2"?
