Hola folks, I thought I would start a thread to discuss up'n'coming animation features and tv shows, my information comes from generally being nosy and the following sites:

Spirited Away
Anime from the director of Princess Monoke due September 20, 2002
Premise: A young girl named Chihiro travels into the land of the gods to find a way to turn her parents back into humans after they were transformed into pigs.
Finding Nemo
Premise: A young clownfish named Nemo is stolen from the coral reef he calls home, forcing his father to undertake a mission to find him and bring him back. No voice talent confirmed as yet, due summer 2003.
The Invincibles
Superhero movie possibly due 2004, from the director of The Iron Giant
Premise: A family of superheroes zoom around saving the world, but when it comes to family matters, all the superpowers in the world can't save them from getting into the same arguments and disagreements as every other average family.
The Powerpuff Girls Movie & Hey Arnold Movie
Speak for themselves really...
Shrek 2
All the main characters back on board (and newbie John CLeese) for a more-of-the-same sequel. No release date as yet, but definitely in development.
Treasure Planet
Seen the previews for this in the cinema- looks like an interesting, if probably disappointing reworking of the classic novel, Treasure Island. At least some of the action is set on a "Crescent World", similar to the orbital habitations that crop up in Iain M Banks Culture novels
Toy Story 3
While not exactly in production yet, www.scifi.com/scifiwire reports that Tom Hanks is keen to get back to voicing everybody's favourite cowboy, Woody. I think it is only a matter of time
Sharkslayer
Featuring the voices of Will Smith; Angelina Jolie; James Gandolfini; Renee Zellwegger; Martin Scorsese (Sykes); Jack Black (Lenny, in negotiations). The premise is: The sea underworld is shaken up when the son of the shark mob boss is found dead and a young fish named Oscar is found at the scene. Being a bottom feeder, Oscar takes advantage of the situation and makes himself look like he killed the finned mobster. Oscar soon comes to realize that his claim may have serious consequences. Due 2004.
Buffy: The Animated Series

Transformers
Corona Coming Attractions reports that a new version is on the way, it might be traditional animation, CGI, or even live action.
