To me, the best part of CinemaCon is when Disney announces lots of news about their upcoming films. This year is absolutely no exception.
First off, they reconfirmed the title and release date of Pete Docter's upcoming Pixar film. The title is Inside Out and will be released on June 19, 2015. I am really excited for this film.
Also, Pixar screened footage of their upcoming film, The Good Dinosaur and it has been getting very strong feedback. This is another film that I'm really looking forward to.
Probably the biggest news from CinemaCon is the full but unfinished screening of Monsters University that was shown. It has been getting amazing feedback. Just take a look at these tweets:
Monsters University (by @mrdanscanlon) is a fun broad college comedy set in a cleverly designed world, surprising turns & gutsy message

Disney just screened MONSTERS UNIVERSITY in its entirety! It's smart, funny and makes me want to rewatch MONSTERS INC immediately.

While there is no Boo, Monsters Univ has as much heart as Monsters Inc. I love love love the message in it, another wonderful Pixar movie.

There is very little that can ever top Monsters Inc, but MU tells a story reaching for those heights. Interesting twists but made with love.

@benjydaniels Yes it is as good as their past films. And I had to wipe away a tear but it was from my own emotions in connection with it.

Just screened all of Monsters University at CinemaCon! Funny, clever and beautifully animated: what I expect from Pixar.

If you were in any way skeptical about Monsters University, there is no need to anymore, since this looks like it will be another tearjerking Pixar masterpiece. Get excited everyone, since Monsters University is 2 months away!
Also, Disney showed footage of the upcoming live-action Disney films, Saving Mr. Banks and Maleficent. Saving Mr. Banks sounds like it will be a very interesting film, but I'm still not sure about Maleficent.
Disney also announced that they will be releasing a new Star Wars film every year starting in the summer of 2015. This I am really not sure about. It seems like they are going too far in milking this franchise and it's a bit much.
What do you all think of these announcements?
