If you thought Disney's list of movies last year was huge, we're in for another big year of long-awaited sequels, Marvel movies, and another journey to a galaxy far, far away.
In May, Disney made a huge update to its theatrical release schedule. After acquiring Fox film studios, Walt Disney Studios has shifted around multiple release dates from Disney and Fox. The Mouse House now has a total of 19 movies coming out in 2019. Previously, Disney planned to release 11 movies.
In the shuffle, Disney pushed back the release of its "Artemis Fowl" movie to next summer. Fox's X-Men spin-off "New Mutants" also got the boot to next spring.
What now? "Dark Phoenix," "Toy Story 4" and "The Lion King" are among the big releases paving the way for the rest of the summer. The holidays are also Disney's to win with "Frozen 2" and "Star Wars: Episode IX — The Rise of Skywalker."

Watch the trailer here.
8. "Toy Story 4"
Release date:Friday, June 21
Studio: Pixar
What it's about: According to Disney and Pixar, the fourth movie in the franchise will follow Woody and the rest of the toys as they welcome some new friends who join their new owner's room. Among them is a fork who insists he's not a toy.
Why we're interested:After multiple delays and the departure of the film's director from the studio, we're wondering if the "Toy Story 4" we'll see this summer is the same one the former Disney Animation and Pixar chief creative officer, John Lasseter, originally had in mind. The sequel will introduce several new characters, including a talking fork, but we're holding out hope to see the return of a fan-favorite.
In 2015, Lasseter originally said the story was inspired by his wife and that the movie would be a love story between Woody his former flame, Bo Peep. Tim Allen, who voices Buzz Lightyear, said the film is so emotional that he had a tough time getting through the final scene. We're ready to bust out the tissues.
Watch the teaser trailer here.
9. "Stuber"
Release date: Friday, July 12
Studio: Fox
What it's about: Stu (Kumail Nanjiani) just wants a five-star rating as an Uber driver but that's put in jeopardy when he picks up a cop (Dave Bautista) who's trying to catch a killer.

10. "The Lion King"
Release date:Friday, July 19
Studio: Walt Disney Studios
What it's about:The CG reimagining of the Oscar-winning animated movie follows Simba who grapples with the decision to return home and take his place as king as his uncle Scar's dictatorial leadership threatens to unravel the pride lands.
Why we're excited for this:The first teaser trailer looks like a near recreation of the opening of the 1994 movie. We have a lot of faith in director Jon Favreau who brought the live-action version of "The Jungle Book" to the big screen. That movie earned nearly $1 billion at theaters.
If the trailer didn't hit you right in the feels, the star-studded cast of Beyoncé, Donald Glover, Seth Rogen, Billy Eichner, and Chiwetel Ejiofor should get you excited. Plus, James Earl Jones is reprising his role as Mufasa. Get ready to cry all over again.

Why we're interested:While the last "Frozen" short caused some backlash from fans, the sequel is in good hands with returning directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee and the Oscar-winning songwriting team of husband and wife Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez. Disney must feel confident about the sequel as it moved its release date up one week.
Watch the teaser trailer for the movie here.
18. "Star Wars: Episode IX — The Rise of Skywalker"
Release date:Friday, December 20
Studio: Lucasfilm
What it's about:"The Rise of Skywalker" will serve as a culmination of the Skywalker storyline and will include more of Carrie Fisher's General Leia through previously unused footage.
Why you should see it:Say what you will about mixed reviews of "The Last Jedi," but if you've invested years watching the "Star Wars" saga, don't you want to see how it all ends for Kylo Ren and Rey? Maybe we'll even learn who Rey's parents are — or not!
If you were a fan of "The Force Awakens," director J.J. Abrams is back in the director's chair for "The Rise of Skywalker." And he's not just directing. Abrams also wrote the script for the ninth film so our fingers are crossed for a satisfying conclusion to the new trilogy.
Watch the first trailer for the movie here.
19. "Spies in Disguise"
Release date:Wednesday, December 25
Studio: Blue Sky Studios
What it's about: The world's greatest super spy, Lance Sterling, teams up with a gadget inventor, Walter, to save the world. The catch? Sterling is disguised as a pigeon.
Why we're intrigued: Will Smith and Tom Holland voice the two lead characters in the animated picture. Smith is playing the spy who becomes a pigeon. This will be a little "Avengers" reunion for Holland as Karen Gillan is also lending her voice to the film.
