Pixar Is Developing a Pirate Movie

BREAKING: Pixar Animations Studios is currently working on a new original film, The Untitled Pixar Pirate Movie! This surprising news came from an interview with John Lasseter  this past week on NowMovies.com. Lasseter said that even though there a more sequels being made at Pixar then were were in the past, there are still several original movies in the works. He then went on to list such films: Inside Out, The Good Dinosaur, a movie about Dia de los Muertos, and a new pirate movie.

"Yarr!"

John Lasseter had more to say on the pirate movie:

"(The pirate film) follows the adventures of Spaniard pirate Lupita Sanchez, her husband Roberto, and their children as they search for a mysterious treasure. It's kind of like The Incredibles, but instead of a superhero family we have a pirate family. Lupita gets a little bored with being a pirate, and wonders if it's really all it's cracked up to be."

Lasseter also happily announced that the film would be directed by Mark Andrews (Brave) and Dan Scanlon (Monsters University), which is not normal for Pixar since they usually have one single director on a project. Nothing more was said about the movie except that they watched animated pirate films like The Pirates! Band of Misfits, The Pirate Fairy, and  Ice Age: Continental Drift for inspiration.

Some of the inspiration for the Pixar pirate movie

Because of the full schedule for upcoming Pixar movies, the earliest we'll see The Untitled Pixar Pirate Movie in theaters would mostly likely be in 2018.
