Disney has been shuffling around its release calendar, and there’s good and bad news for fans of its collaborations with Pixar. On the bright side, Cars 3 and The Incredibles 2 each got a release date, but those eagerly awaiting Toy Story 4 will be sad to know that its will now hit theaters later than expected. Woody, Buzz, and the gang had to give up their June 16, 2017 release date for Lightning McQueen and crew.

Each of the three computer-animated films will get a June release, which is perfect for all of the kids who will be kicking off their summer vacations. Cars 3 leads the pack with its 2017 date, and then Toy Story 4 will hit theaters almost exactly a year later, on June 15, 2018. Incredibles 2 will follow on June 21, 2019.

The official Disney-Pixar Twitter account shared release dates for their films through 2019, letting fans know exactly when to expect what.

Squeezed in between familiar franchises is another Disney and Pixar movie, Coco, set for Nov. 22, 2017. However, Disney also scheduled release dates for numerous non-Pixar films, including Marvel projectsAnt-Man and the Wasp, the sequel to this year’s Ant-Man, is now scheduled for July 6, 2018. The date was previously occupied by Black Panther, which has been moved forward to Feb. 16, 2018. Meanwhile, Captain Marvel was delayed from Nov. 2, 2018 to March 8, 2019, and three other still untitled Marvel flicks were slated for 2020.

Mixed in with its superhero movies and animated films, Disney also has multiple untitled films on the calendar. As we can see, they may still get shuffled around, but the current calendar gives us an idea of at what the studio has planned for the foreseeable future. Clearly, there’s a lot for fans to look forward to.

3 underrated (HBO) Max movies you should watch this weekend (June 28-30)
A girl looks at a boy in House at the End of the Street.

June is surprisingly over, and with it, a great month for movies comes to a satisfactory close. You've probably watched Inside Out 2 or Bad Boys: Ride or Die or maybe even The Bikeriders. From blockbusters to indie fare, the theatrical movie business has been robust and healthy.

The same goes for streaming. Netflix had a big hit with Richard Linklater's Hit Man, while Amazon Prime Video recently premiered the latest bonkers season of The Boys. HBO and Max have been quieter, but their robust library speaks volumes to the streamer's high quality. The following three films are older, but are just as worth your time as new hits like House of the Dragon season 2.

The best Netflix original series right now
Eric and Benedict Cumberbatch in Eric.

The era of Peak TV was also Peak Netflix, because the streamer seemingly had an endless supply of new original series. So far in 2024, that hasn't been the case. Whether we'll ever get the same level of content again seems unlikely for now. But even in a reduced capacity, Netflix still has a few new additions to its lineup of originals.

For the month of June, we're adding the '80s-set thriller, Eric, which stars Benedict Cumbebatch. Our other pick for the month is Supacell, which is Netflix's new British series that remixes some old superhero archetypes. That's not a very big selection for fans who always want something new, but this roundup of the best Netflix original series really does have all of the top options in one place for you. All you have to do is scroll down and make time to binge watch some shows.
