Popcorn was announced during Disney’s Investor Day presentation back in December. It is just the latest release from Pixar on Disney+ with the studio having released its latest feature, Soul, directly to the platform on Christmas Day. That film, from Pete Docter and co-directed by Kemp Powers, starred Jamie Foxx as Joe Gardner, a jazz musician, and Tina Fey as new soul 22 in a story that takes viewers to the Great Before to discover what makes each person unique — as well as what makes life worth living.
Pixar also has another major release coming up in 2021 with its next feature film, Luca. That film tells the story of a young boy and his friend who appear completely human when outside of the water, but who are really mysterious sea creatures whose lives begin to change when they befriend a young girl from the surface world. That film is expected to debut in theaters on June 18th.
