Disney looks to fill its theatrical slate a little differently this year by bringing a massive slate of re-releases for classic, beloved movies from the Disney vault.
Although Disney as a whole still has plenty of material coming this year from the Marvel and Star Wars sides of things in theaters and on Disney+, there won’t be many releases added to the company’s slate of classic “Disney movies.”
Outside of the recently released Elemental from Disney and Pixar along with November’s Wish, starring Ariana DeBose and Chris Pine, the biggest studio in animation history won’t have as big of a presence as normal this time around.
Disney Re-Releases 8 Iconic Movies
As part of Disney’s 100-year-anniversary celebration, via Fandango, Disney announced that eight classic movies will be re-released in theaters from early July to late October.
Each film will be in theaters for two full weeks in select theaters across the country.

What New Disney Movies Are Coming This Year?
Looking at this list of movies, Disney clearly wants to see some kind of bump at the movie theater with so many other major franchises taking the spotlight this year, including Barbie, Mission Impossible 7, Indiana Jones 5, and more.
The films listed above were released as recently as six years ago and as far back as the early 1990s, giving viewers a wide range of Disney history to dive into as the company plans out its new phase of projects in the 21st century.
And while Disney movies are made far different today than they were in eras of the past, the company hopes to give fans a new sense of optimism as animated films look to come back into the forefront.
