Pixar had been regarded as a studio who could produce high quality original films. Then they dipped their toes into sequels, and for all the sequels they have made, only one can be considered the worst of not only the sequels, but of Pixar’s entire library itself. While Monsters University is definitely a step in the right direction for the studio, after two softball films – Cars 2 and Brave, the film itself is a prequel.

But for fans who are worried that the studio is straying away from original content, Ed Catmull, the President of Pixar, said that the studio is hoping to do an original movie every single year, and sequels every other year.

Pixar has been known to work their tails off researching, detailing, and perfecting their projects. Sometimes it takes up to four years before one of their films hit theaters. But it is because of the kind of work ethic that allows Pixar to present movies like Up, Toy Story 3, Wall-E, and Monsters Inc. So during an event at CinemaCon in Las Vegas on Monday, Disney and Pixar announced some updates on their Dinosaur movie – now titled The Good Dinosaur – and their currently untitled Inside the Mind project. In addition, the studio announced plans for an untitled Dia De Los Muertos project.

The following information comes from a Walt Disney Studios press release and before I get into the Dia De Los Muertos project, let’s elaborate on The Good Dinosaur and the untitled Inside the Mind project.
