Now that Cars 2 has been released, Pixar is looking toward the future. A prequel to Monster, Inc., titled Monsters University is planned for June 21, 2013, an Incredibles sequel has been rumored, and earlier today Tom Hanks claimed that there will be a Toy Story 4. But while sequels are all well and good, Pixar has now gone two years without a new property. That will change next summer though, when it releases its next original film, Brave.

Brave is the story of Merida (voiced by Kelly Macdonald), a skilled archer, and the daughter of King Fergus (Billy Connolly) and Queen Elinor (Emma Thompson). Merida wants to make her own way in life, and in doing so she turns to an old witch (Julie Walters) who grants her a wish, which turns into a disastrous curse. She must then discover her own bravery to undo the curse while she can.

Check out the teaser below, which debuted in front of Cars 2. Brave also stars the voices of Kevin McKidd, Craig Ferguson and Robbie Coltrane. It is set to hit theaters in 3D on June 22.

Netflix is streaming the craziest action movie of 2024. Here’s why I loved it

A man floating in air kicks another man in the face in City Hunter.

This month seems to be the time to release action movies that color outside the lines. We've already had Dev Patel's Monkey Man, a messy, throw-everything-at-the-wall action movie that blends intricate fight sequences and on-the-nose social commentary in an entertaining package that will surely gain cult status in the near future. Just this weekend, Boy Kills World dished out loads of cartoon violence and over-the-top gore in a bid for John Wick-level fandom. Both movies bend or break the rules of reality to deliver quickly cut fight scenes that push the boundaries of the genre, all in an attempt to one-up the high standards set by the best movies in the Mission: Impossible and Fast and Furious franchises.

Yet the best of the April bunch is the one that has the lowest profile. City Hunter doesn't star anyone you'd recognize like It actor Bill Skarsgård in Boy Kills World and hasn't been backed by an extensive marketing campaign like Universal's Monkey Man. But the movie is a blast; it's like putting Pop Rocks in a can of Mountain Dew and chasing it down with a couple of Pixy Sticks. It's ludicrous, immature, and totally unrealistic. It's also my favorite action movie of 2024. Here's why you need to stream City Hunter pronto.
It's an adaptation of a massively popular franchise

10 best Netflix shows with more than 5 seasons, ranked

A woman puts a crown on a man in The Crown.

Netflix is home to many great shows. It's also the most prolific and well-known streaming service of them all, with a large catalog of original and acquired content. However, the King of Streamers is also famous for being quite trigger-happy. Indeed, Netflix is no stranger to canceling its shows, even if it spent millions producing them; if they don't yield immediate results, the streamer will pull the plug without blinking an eye.

Still, many original shows have beaten the cancellation curse and had a successful life, at least by streaming standards. These shows are Netflix's best efforts that actually got to enjoy a full life cycle, receiving more than five seasons. None might come close to the 100-episode mark, but these beloved series prove to hopeful showrunners everywhere that there is indeed life on Netflix after season 5.
