Thinking back to when you were seven years old and sitting through Finding Nemo for the first time, all you worried about was if your crayons were sharpened and if Marlin was ever going to find Nemo. Life was good; life was simple. Disney helped you be a carefree child. You can feel that way again. Pixar is back with new and improved films, hitting you right in the feels and bringing back your inner child.

During Disney’s bi-annual fan convention, D23, held in Anaheim this summer, The Walt Disney Company announced everything they are releasing from now up until 2017. With Lucasfilm, Pixar, and Marvel in their control, Disney will release more films than ever before. From sequels to superheroes, Disney has it all.

“I can’t express my excitement for the new movies coming out; however, I’m most excited for Finding Dory,” Abbie Phillips, freshman, said.
