So, its confirmed? This is officially happening? Shudder.
@Liam lol you’re just mad Illumination makes good films and Pixar has been trash for years
I’m sorry, but Poxar may have made some lesser movkes like Cars 3 and The Good dinosaur in the last fee years.
But movies like Coco, Inside Out & Incredibles 2 were in my opinion fantastic movies.
But calling they’re movies ttash is a bit far fetched.
