Fall 2023 Feature Animation Release Calendar

Update: With less than three months left in 2023, there are still plenty of animated features heading our way. Here is a calendar of animated feature films coming to theaters in the U.S. before the end of the year.

Not all of the films on this list will be released theatrically, at least not on a wide scale. Because of the ongoing actors' strike, some studios may hold off on releasing films into 2024.

Nevertheless, we are confident that the following list will not change significantly in the coming months.
