As a parent who has grown up with Disney and Pixar movies, I can hardly contain my excitement about the upcoming releases of Frozen III and Hoppers! Having watched my own children fall in love with Elsa, Anna, and their friends over the years, it’s heartwarming to know that a new generation will continue their adventures on the big screen.
Based on D23 announcements, Disney has pre-scheduled the release of much-awaited films such as “Frozen III” and “Hoppers”. Although 2024 is yet to end and 2025 hasn’t even begun, Disney has already booked release dates for two movies more than two years ahead. Disney is advising families to note down their calendars for the upcoming “Frozen III”, as this third installment of the billion-dollar animated series is planned to hit theaters in 2027.
By the specified deadline, Disney has scheduled the launch of “Frozen III” on November 24, 2027, which happens to be the day preceding Thanksgiving. Previous installments of “Frozen” were also released close to this holiday and raked in a staggering $1 billion at global box offices, making this decision strategic for Disney. Simultaneously, Disney has fixed March 6, 2026, as the release date for Pixar’s new original production titled “Hoppers.” This film was unveiled during D23 and revolves around a young girl who can jump her consciousness into a robotic animal.
Release Date Impacts
As a parent who grew up with Disney classics like “The Lion King” and “Beauty and the Beast,” I am genuinely thrilled about the upcoming release of “Frozen III.” The fact that it will have been 14 years since the first film opened means an entire generation has grown up with Elsa, Anna, Kristoff, Sven, and Olaf’s adventures on the big screen.
Swapping out “Disney setting Pixar’s ‘Hoppers’ for spring 2026 seems appropriate for several reasons. The movie will come after the 2025 release of ‘Elio’, and it will be one of two Pixar films premiering in cinemas in 2026, as ‘Toy Story 5’ is scheduled for June 19, 2026. Additionally, March 6, 2026, marks the sixth anniversary of the premiere of ‘Onward’, which was Pixar’s first original film after a series of sequels whose theatrical runs were cut short due to the closure of movie theaters from the COVID-19 pandemic – ‘Onward’ debuted just one week before the pandemic forced theaters to close for an entire year.
In 2026, introducing the characters from our new movie, the Hoppers, coincides with the year when Toy Story 5 is set to be released, mirroring a strategy similar to that of Disney and Pixar in 2022. At that time, their original film, Turning Red, was initially planned for a theater release alongside the spin-off Lightyear. The idea was to boost an original production with a franchise film. However, Turning Red ended up being streamed on Disney+, while Lightyear underperformed at the box office. Here’s hoping for better results in 2026!
