  • Other 2025 highlights include "The Bad Guys 2," "Dog Man," "The SpongeBob Movie: Search for Square Pants," "The Magnificent Life of Marcel Pagnol," "The Twits," and possibly "Wildwood."

The article discusses the resurgence of animated sequels, particularly highlighted by Disney's announcement of "Zootopia 2," set for release in November 2025. This sequel follows the success of the original "Zootopia," which was a major hit for Disney. However, while Disney focuses on sequels, Pixar is taking a different approach by introducing an original film titled "Elio," which is slated for release in March 2024. "Elio" tells the story of a boy who is accidentally beamed up to the Communiverse, where he is mistakenly identified as Earth's ambassador. This contrast in strategies between Disney and Pixar reflects broader trends in animation where sequels are seen as safe bets due to their built-in audiences, yet there's also a push for original content to capture new markets and creative accolades. The article also touches on other upcoming animated projects, indicating a vibrant future for animation with both sequels and original stories.
