And now, the real news from D23 that had me SUPERSTOKED…

Disney is starting a new animation imprint titled Disney Double Dare You, to be helmed by one of this blog’s absolute favorites…Guillermo Del Toro.

The concept of Disney Double Dare You is to create “films full of thrills and chills for all ages”, so I anticipate it to be a darker, more fantasy filled imprint of animation from Disney.

The first project confirmed is a film called Trollhunters, based on an original Del Toro story.  In an interview with Variety concerning the new imprint,  he hinted towards some sort of connection between the films, saying that the films will be linked by ““one feature that shall remain secret, but that you shall soon be very familiar with.“

How Guillermo intends to balance an entire film imprint with the other projects he’s working on, I have no idea, but I am very excited.

If you told me ten years ago, that some of the most exciting movements in filmmaking would be coming from Disney, I’d call you crazy, but between Pixar, this new Double Dare You imprint and their purchase of Marvel, it’s looking to be true.
