Today at the D23 Expo in Anaheim, California, Disney-Pixar announced its next original animated film to follow Coco: an untitled “suburban fantasy” film to be directed by Monster University’s Dan Scanlon.
Scanlon, who lost his father at a very young age, spoke to the audience about the film, explaining that it was inspired by a question he’s always asked: Who was my father?
The film, however, will push Pixar into a human-less universe it has never explored, filled with elves, trolls, and sprites. Scanlon joked that the cast of characters is basically “anything that would be on the side of a van in the ’70s.”
