Disney and Netflix animation moves

Disney published ten placeholder release dates that fall mostly in late 2028 and through 2029: Feb. 18, 2028; Nov. 10, 2028; Feb. 16, 2029; Mar. 9, 2029; May 25, 2029; June 15, 2029 (listed as "Untitled Disney Animation"); Aug. 3, 2029; Oct. 5, 2029; Nov. 9, 2029; and Nov. 21, 2029 (listed as the untitled Pixar slot). (comingsoon.net) The company explicitly labeled the Nov. 21, 2029 date as an "Untitled Pixar" project, while noting that Coco 2 is currently the only Pixar title reported for 2029 — a detail outlets flagged as the likely candidate for that holiday slot. (comingsoon.net) One calendar change Disney made in the update was moving a film previously dated July 28, 2028 up to Feb. 18, 2028, and adding the June 15, 2029 entry specifically as an unnamed Disney Animation release. (comingsoon.net) Netflix released STEEL BALL RUN: JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure worldwide on March 19, 2026, premiering with an extended first episode (reported at roughly 47 minutes) and listing the series as a Netflix exclusive. (netflix.com/tudum) The anime is produced by David Production with co-directors Yasuhiro Kimura and Hideya Takahashi, series director Toshiyuki Kato, and character designer/chief animation director Daisuke Tsumagari credited on official trailers and key-visual releases. (crunchyroll.com (essential-japan.com) Early critical responses called the premiere visually outstanding and a strong entry point: Screen Rant labeled the debut a "visual masterpiece," IGN called the two-part premiere a "great start" and accessible for newcomers, and Polygon described it as a solid foundation for the arc; early aggregate pages and user scores also show strong initial ratings.
