What Disney films to Watch in 2019

What Disney films to Watch in 2019

 

In 2019 there is a crazy amount of Disney and Pixar films coming out that you may not be aware of and there is definitely some stuff to get excited about. So in this blog I am going to be showing you the Disney and Pixar releases coming out in 2019.

This blog will not include any marvel or Star Wars movies.

 

Dumbo

Dumbo is a live action retelling of the original film and will be released in the UK on the 29th March. It is being directed by Tim Burton who in the past has worked on Edward Scissorhands, Corpse Bride, Beetlejuice, the live action Alice in Wonderland and many more. Personally I always think that his work is memorable and individualistic, but he’s not my favourite director and I am surprised that he has taken on Dumbo.

This film is not going to be a talking animal film, although it will still centre around Dumbo, they seem to be going in a different direction with this film. For example the film will focus on a new character Holt Farrier, who will be played by Colin Farrell (Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them) he returns from war a changed man, no longer able to be a circus star he is instructed by the circus owner Max Medici, played by Danny Devito (Matilda), to look after Dumbo, a baby elephant with gigantic ears. It his children who discover that Dumbo can fly. It’s now time for Dumbo to be made a star with the help of Collette Marchant, played by Eva Green (Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children) who is an aerial artist and entrepreneur V.A Vandemere, played by Michael Keaton (Birdman).

A full trailer is available to watch on You Tube.

Aladdin

The live action Aladdin film is due to be released on 24th May in the UK.

The cast has been confirmed, with the most notable name being Will Smith being the Genie. This is a decision that I am very excited about, Will Smith always takes on very emotive and powerful roles and I think the Genie would really suit him well as a character.

Jasmine is going to be played by Naomi Scott, who most recently was the pink power ranger in the power ranger movie, Mena Massoud will play Aladdin, Marwan Kenzari (Ben-Hur and What Happened to Monday) will play Jafar and Navid Negahban will play the Sultan.

A teaser trailer is available to watch on You Tube, I’m sure it won’t be long until a full length trailer will be released.

Toy Story 4

Toy Story 4, the first animated film of the year and the only fouthquel in the Pixar universe is coming to cinemas in 2019 on 21st June to UK and USA.

The teaser trailer is available to watch which introduces the a new character called Forky. The only possible plot line that has been rumoured is focusing on Woody and Buzz searching for Little Bo Peep.

It looks like a lot of the original cast have signed up for the film including Tom Hanks who voices Woody, Tim Allen who voices Buzz Lightyear and Joan Cusack who voices Jessie and many others.

The Lion King

The Lion King is going to be a CG-animated version which based of the trailer that has been released will follow the exact same story line as the original film, although I have heard that the story will focus more of giving Scar a back-story.

The film will be released 19th July in the UK.

The most recognisable people who have joined the cast are Beyonce (the singer) who will voice Nala, Seth Rogen (Pineapple Express) who will voice Pumbaa, James Earl Jones (Darth Vader) who is revising his role as Mufasa, Donald Glover (The Martian) as Simba and Chiwetel Ejiofor (12 Years a Slave) as Scar.

Frozen 2

On 22nd November Frozen 2 is coming. Not much is known about this film accept the fact that Kristen Bell who voices Anna, Idina Menzel who voices Elsa and Josh Gad who voices Olaf have signed onto the film, along with Sterling K. Brown (This is Us) and Evan Rachel Wood to voice new roles.

 

Artemis Fowl

On August 9th Artemis Fowl will be coming to the cinema, one of the only live action film that I know will be coming out from Disney.

It is going to be directed by Kenneth Branagh, the same person who directed Cinderella.

Artemis Fowl is a series of books that came out many years ago and were very popular, but I’ve not heard much about them until now so I am a little surprised that Disney have chosen to resurface these books.

A short trailer is available to watch on You Tube and it looks intriguing but at the same time like every other fantasy, adventure, technology film.

Noelle

Noelle is another live action film that’s coming out sometime in November. It will be a festive film featuring Anna Kendrick as Nicole Claus, Santa’s daughter. No plot or information about the film has been released other than visuals of Anna in an elf outfit.

That covers all the Disney films that will be coming out in 2019. Which film are you most excited for? Let me know in the comments below.
