Pixar's eco-friendly leap with 'hop' and 'coco 2' on the horizon

Disney's Pixar Animation Studios has made a triumphant entry into the eco-conscious space with their latest original film, 'Hop,' which premiered in theaters. The animated feature, set to return to Pixar's beloved 'Toy Story' franchise in 2026, already has its sights set on the future with other notable releases on the horizon.

On the heels of 'hop' comes 'coco 2'

One of the most cherished and emotionally resonant films Pixar has released in recent years is 'Coco' (2017), directed by Lee Unkrich and Adrián Molina. The studio is set to revisit the enchanting world of Miguel and his family, with the original directors returning for the sequel, now confirmed to hit theaters on November 21, 2029.

A new musical departure: 'ono ghost market'

Before 'Coco 2' materializes, Pixar has another surprise up its sleeve - 'Ono Ghost Market,' an animated musical from director Domee Shi, the visionary behind 'Red' (2022) and 'Elio' (2025). This captivating tale, inspired by Asian bazaar myths and legends, will offer a refreshing departure from Pixar's usual fare, blending music with supernatural elements.

'Ono Ghost Market' will cast its spell on audiences in 2028, March 10, providing a tantalizing glimpse into the studio's ongoing quest to push creative boundaries.
