Two Disney animated movies to be released in the same year (2016) by JohnStripedfur

Just found this out. It seems Disney is going to do the Dreamworks approach and release two of their main animated movies onto the big screen in the same year.

That means in 2016, Disney won't be releasing one animated movie, but two. Zootopia and their new upcoming Princess movie Moana.

Zootopia, which I'm sure most of you had heard, is an anthromorph type of animated movie. Like Robin Hood and Chicken Little. Set in an alternate universe where all animals live in a city called Zootopia, seperated by three neighborhoods. It's pretty much a buddy cop flick with a rabbit detective and a fast talking fox trying to solve a conspiracy. It's being directed by Brian Howard, who did Pocahontas, Mulan, Brother Bear, Lilo & Stitch, Chicken Little, Bolt, and Tangled It's set to be released in March 2016

Moana, is another princess movie they are pretty much getting much news out and hype at this point. Moana is the daughter of a cheiftan that belongs in a family with a rich history of navigators. When their village needs help, she sets off on a raft for an adventure to find help. Along the way, she meets many zany characters based on Polynesian deities. Directed by Ron Clements and John Musker who both did The Princes & The Frog, Aladdin, The Great Mouse Detective, Treasure Planet, Hercules, and The Little Mermaid. Set to be released around November 2016.

Now this is intriguing. Usually the reason why Disney only puts out one movie per year or couple years because it takes a long while to make an animated movie and want to make sure it's perfect. Course, not all Disney animated movies are perfect, but that's the main reason. I'm really surprised to see and hear that Disney is going the Dreamworks approach by putting out two of their movies in the same year. One during the spring and the other during the holidays.

I can understand putting the princess movie during the holidays as that shows their confidence that it might do well during that time. Though, I was more hoping for Zootopia because that movie intrigues me the most. It's a buddy cop flick that has both comedy and drama. Which is something not many animated films have. But, it surprises me that Disney is not confident enough for this movie and they have it scheduled for release during the spring.

But, let's just hope both of these films will be good and just have to wait one full year before seeing them.
