On December 22, 2011, Disney shared upcoming release dates for its films. A mysterious film titled ''Frozen'' rested on the date of November 27, 2013, which led many to believe that ''The Good Dinosaur'', originally scheduled for release on that date, now had the title of ''Frozen''. However, Peter Sciretta of /Film confirmed with Disney that ''Frozen'' was not a Pixar film. Further, Bleeding Cool received tips that ''Frozen'' is actually an adaptation of the long-dormant ''Snow Queen'' Disney animated film.<ref>[http://pixartimes.com/2011/12/23/pixar-dinosaur-film-bumped-off-nov-2013-release-date/ Pixar Dinosaur Film Bumped Off Nov 2013 Release Date]</ref> Later, Pixar announced that it would be released on May 30th, 2014.<ref>[http://pixartimes.com/2012/04/24/cinemacon-2012-pixars-dinosaur-film-gets-a-title-new-lee-unkrich-project-announced/ CinemaCon 2012: Pixar’s Dinosaur Film Gets A Title, New Lee Unkrich Project Announced]</ref> On September 18, 2013, it was announced that Pixar had pushed back the release date from May 30, 2014, to November 25, 2015 in order to 'give the film some more time'.<ref name=newdate>[http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/movies/moviesnow/la-et-mn-pixar-good-dinosaur-pushed-to-2015-20130918,0,1607398.story 'The Good Dinosaur' moved to 2015, leaving Pixar with no 2014 film]</ref><ref name="Slashfilm">[http://www.slashfilm.com/pixar-skips-2014-as-the-good-dinosaur-shifts-to-2015-and-finding-dory-to-2016/ Pixar Skips 2014 as ‘The Good Dinosaur’ Shifts to 2015 and ‘Finding Dory’ to 2016]</ref><ref name="ComingSoon">[http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=109129 Disney Announces New Dates for Maleficent, The Good Dinosaur and Finding Dory]</ref> This, in turn, will bring Pixar's streak of consecutive annual releases to an end, a streak started with'' [[Cars]] ''in 2006 and ended with ''[[Monsters University]] ''in 2013.
