This past year has been particularly profitable one for the Walt Disney Company's cinematic offerings, with 2018 already being the second-highest earning year in the entire history of the studio and the second year that Disney has crossed the $7 billion mark at the global box office, largely aided by blockbusters including Black Panther, Avengers: Infinity War and Incredibles 2, which each earned over $1 billion worldwide. In the same vein, Infinity War became the first summer blockbuster to earn over $2 billion at the global box office.

Now, 2019 is poised to potentially become an even bigger one for the studio, with the main studio, Walt Disney Pictures, releasing not one, but three, live-action remakes of their classic animated films. Pixar will also release the eagerly anticipated fourth installment of its universally acclaimed Toy Story franchise. Marvel Studios will release two films, including the direct sequel to Infinity War. Lucasfilm will unleash the ninth main installment in the Star Wars franchise, while Disney Animation is debuting Frozen 2, the sequel to the highest-earning animated film of all time. Below is a list of each of the major films being released by Disney in 2019, including release dates and what we know so far regarding each:

Captain Marvel (March 8)

Captain Marvel Movie Poster

The latest Marvel Cinematic Universe epic, Captain Marvel, takes place sometime in the early-to-mid '90s, with its eponymous superhero protecting her home planet of Earth while learning about her own apparent extraterrestrial heritage as she regains her memories.

First teased in the post-credits scene to Infinity War, the MCU film stars Brie Larson as the spacefaring peacekeeper and features Samuel L. Jackson and Clark Gregg reprising their roles as Nick Fury and Phil Coulson, respectively, digitally de-aged to reflect the film taking place decades in the past. With Larson confirmed to reprise her role as Carol Danvers in the Infinity War sequel, the film is guaranteed to set up the character's return to the MCU in a big way as the surviving Avengers regroup after Thanos' initial victory.

Dumbo (March 29)

Dumbo

The first of three live-action remakes to be theatrically released in 2019, Dumbo retells the story of the titular flying elephant from the classic 1941 Disney animated film of the same name. Reuniting director Tim Burton with cast members Michael Keaton, Eva Green and Danny DeVito, the reimagined film follows Holt, a single father and war veteran portrayed by Colin Farrell, tasked with caring for the circus elephant, eventually learning he can use his oversized ears to fly. As businessmen seek to exploit Dumbo's abilities, Holt discovers the circus contains other dark secrets.

It was Tim Burton who kicked off Disney's strategy to produce live-action remakes of their animated films with 2010's Alice in Wonderland, with the studio hoping the filmmaker can continue their success in reinvigorating their animated catalogue. With the trailers teasing a darker and more emotional take on the classic story, Dumbo promises to be more than a shot-for-shot recreation of the 1941 original film.

Penguins (April 17)

The latest theatrically released nature documentary produced by Disney's film studio, Disneynature, Penguins follows the titular aquatic birds as they survive and thrive in the Arctic. The studio was formed in 2008 after the success of the 2005 documentary March of the Penguins and, over a decade since Disneynature's creation, the new film marks the studio making their own penguin-centric documentary.

The upcoming documentary is narrated by Amazing Spider-Man 2 actor Dane DeHaan and focuses on a penguin dubbed, "Steve" by the documentarians, as as he attempts to find a mate and build a family of his own in the Arctic, all with the same family-friendly realism that Disneynature has become known for.

Avengers: Endgame (April 26)

Avengers Endgame Tony Stark Robert Downey Jr

The long-awaited follow-up to Avengers: Infinity War, the MCU epic sees the surviving Avengers and Guardians of the Galaxy regroup, following their defeat at the hands of Thanos, to undo the Mad Titan's climactic act of wiping out half of all life in the universe with the Infinity Gauntlet.

Tying together the events of Infinity War with Ant-Man and The Wasp and Captain Marvel, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige has promised the upcoming ensemble will serve as a finale of sorts to the shared cinematic universe, paying off a decade's worth of films that started with 2008's Iron Man. With rumors that the film will be the final appearances of Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark and Chris Evans as Captain America, Endgame may very well bring a bittersweet sense of finality to the MCU before the shared universe embarks on its next generation of films.

Aladdin (May 24)

The second live-action remake of a classic Disney animated film, Aladdin revisits the 1992 movie of the same name and is directed by Guy Ritchie (King Arthur: Legend of the Sword). A loose adaptation of a tale within One Thousand and One Arabian Nights, the film follows the titular young orphan from Agrabah who discovers a magic lamp containing a genie, granting him three wishes which he uses to win the heart of a princess.

While online response to the first teaser trailer and official stills released from the film, including photos of Will Smith as the genie, have been decidedly mixed, the film still carries a tremendous amount of anticipation. Star Mena Massoud has claimed the remake will be neither a musical nor a comedy, with Guy Ritchie noting that the film will be more action-packed. How much the new film will differ from the animated classic has yet to be seen, but a full theatrical trailer is likely to premiere soon.

Toy Story 4 (June 21)

Pixar's sole 2019 film is the fourth installment of the film franchise that started it all for the animation studio, Toy Story. Picking up sometime after the events of 2010's Toy Story 3, with the toys having been handed down from Andy to his neighbor Bonnie, the CGI film has been described as a "road trip movie" with Woody, Buzz Lightyear and company searching for Woody's love interest, Little Bo Peep.

In production since 2014, the film's story was conceived by most of the franchise's veteran writers from their own admitted love of the characters and premise.

The third Disney remake to be released theatrically in 2019, The Lion King retells the 1994 animated film of the same name. Directed by Jon Favreau, the film utilizes a blend of CGI and motion-capture technology that the filmmaker previously employed with his 2016 remake of The Jungle Book. Now in a photo-realistic style, the new film follows young lion cub Simba as he seeks to avenge his father and claim his destiny as the ruler of the African plains from his evil uncle Scar.

The upcoming remake features an all-star cast, including Donald Glover, Beyoncé, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Seth Rogen, Billy Eichner, John Oliver and James Earl Jones reprising his role as Simba's father, Mufasa. The classic songs from the original film are confirmed to return, rearranged by songwriters Elton John and Tim Rice, along with Beyoncé.

Artemis Fowl Movie

An adaptation of the 2001 young adult fantasy novel series of the same name, written by Eoin Colfer, Artemis Fowl tells the tale of a young criminal mastermind who sets out to prove the existence of fairies and steal from them, all in the name of restoring his family's fortune and rescuing his father.

Directed by Kenneth Branagh (Thor), who also executive produces the film along with Robert De Niro, the novel series had first been optioned in 2001 before languishing in development limbo for over a decade.

A sequel to the 2013 original film that went on to become the highest-earning animated film of all time, Frozen 2 features the return of Anna, her sister Elsa, Kristoff and the living snowman Olaf, with the voice cast of the first film reprising their roles. They are joined by new cast members Evan Rachel Wood and Sterling K. Brown in currently unspecified roles.

The sequel is directed by the original filmmakers, Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, with plot details still largely kept under wraps. A first-look trailer for the film has been rumored for weeks, with the post-credits scene of Ralph Breaks the Internet teasing a sneak peek of the sequel only to Rickroll the audience instead.

Star Wars: Episode IX (Dec. 20)

J.J. Abrams Star Wars-Episode IX

The ninth main installment of the Star Wars franchise and third and final entry in the sequel trilogy that began with 2016's The Force Awakens, the still currently untitled Episode IX features the return of filmmaker J.J. Abrams, who directed and co-wrote Episode VII. The upcoming sequel has been teased to tie up the plot threads established by the 2016 film, as well 2017's The Last Jedi, while containing nods to the entire cinematic history of the franchise.
