# **The Wall Street Journal And Variety Unveil New Pixar Animation Studios Films: “Ono Ghost Market”, Third “Monsters Inc.” Film And First Musical Film By Domee Shi.**
As “Hoppers” hits theaters, The Wall Street Journal discussed the future of Pixar Animation Studios specially as the iconic lamp studio has struggled with original ideas and more imput into sequels and spin-offs.
During the article it was revealed that a third Monsters Inc. film is in early development as Pixar’s sequel roster includes “The Incredibles 3” set for a 2028 release and “Coco 2” set for a 2029 release. However TWSJ revealed that Pixar Animation Studios is currently making two original feature films.
* “**Ono Ghost Town** ” which is inspired “By Asian myths about supernatural bazaars where the living and dead interact.” The project was originally going to be a Disney+ series before being retooled as a feature film.
* The other project is a brand new original musical feature film by Turning Red and Elio director Domee Shi which set to be the studio’s first musical movie
The Wall Street Journal report did not disclose a directors, release date, cast, songwriting collaborators, or a plot, and Pixar has not issued a public statement to confirm or expand on the report. This year is the next edition of D23 Expo, so maybe more information on these three projects will be revealed.
However previous reports by insiders mention that Domee’s musical project will star “Ducks” and in November 2024, Pixar released an open cast call looking for a Romani actor for a upcoming Romani-lead feature film.
