Pixar Movies Return to Theaters: Turning Red, Soul, and Luca Hitting the Big Screen

Pixar enthusiasts, rejoice! The beloved animated masterpieces Turning Red, Soul, and Luca are finally making their way to theaters after an initial release on Disney Plus. Fans who've yearned for the big-screen experience of these cinematic wonders can mark their calendars for the much-anticipated theatrical premieres.

Originally released on Disney Plus without a theatrical run due to global circumstances, these Pixar gems are set to dazzle audiences on the grand canvas of the cinema. Luca's enchanting Italian backdrop, Soul's mesmerizing world of the Great Before, and the hilarious antics of Turning Red's giant panda showdown will now captivate audiences on the silver screen.

The re-release schedule kicks off with Soul, slated to hit theaters on Jan. 12, featuring the heartwarming Pixar SparkShort “Burrow.” Following suit, Turning Red will make its theatrical debut on Feb. 9, paired with the delightful SparkShort “Kitbull.” Luca will complete the triumphant return on March 22, accompanied by the beloved Pixar short “For the Birds.”

As Pixar fans revel in the excitement of these theatrical returns, anticipation builds for the upcoming Inside Out 2, scheduled to grace theaters in June 2024. Meanwhile, Elio, the studio's new original film initially slated for March 2024, faced a delay to 2025 due to the SAG-AFTRA strike, prolonging the eager wait for this anticipated release.

The return of these cherished Pixar classics to theaters is not only a treat for devoted fans but also an opportunity for new audiences to experience the magic, emotions, and humor that define Pixar's storytelling mastery on the big screen. With these theatrical re-releases and upcoming projects on the horizon, Pixar continues to weave its enchanting tapestry in the world of animated cinema.
