Disney Shuffles Schedule Over Delays to ‘Good Dinosaur’

Walt Disney Studios on Wednesday announced a flurry of movie release date changes prompted by delays on “The Good Dinosaur” from Pixar, a movie originally scheduled to arrive in theaters in May.

The upshot: For the first time in nine years, the Walt Disney Company will not release its annual Pixar movie.

Pixar has been performing triage on “The Good Dinosaur” since removing its director last month. The film, about dinosaurs who become farmers, will now be released in November 2015.

That sent a line of dominoes falling on Disney’s release schedule. “Maleficent,” a live-action film about the evil sorcerer from “Sleeping Beauty,” will move from July 2014 to May â€" the old “Good Dinosaur” date. And “Finding Dory” will move from November 2015 to June 2016.
