Do you really think Pixar will take in consideration the suggestion of cancel "Cars 3" at this point in production? Less than 2 years to the release of the film? After spending millions in production? With all the merchandising financial prospects? Don't be so naive. "The Good Dinosaur" is failing because the film wasn't able to catch the public attention, not because of the release date. Unfortunately, "Cars 3" is going to even a worse path, given the terrible reception "Cars 2" had. The best thing right now is to push “Cars 3” to a less competitive release date, like March 2017.

The situation of “Coco” is a little bit more complicated. If the film is a musical as rumoured, then the release date should be maintained in Thanksgiving 2017. WDAS' has proved that Thanksgiving is an excellent date to animated musicals (“Tangled” and “Frozen”). However, if the film is NOT a musical, then they should push it to the first week of November (like WDAS' “Wreck-It Ralph” and “Big Hero 6”). The first week of November release date would even coincide with the real Day of the Dead in Mexico.

However, if they do this, then there will be an open spot in June 2017. The only viable solution would be push WDAS' “Gigantic” from its March 2018 release to the Summer 2017 spot. Although WDAS would need a great effort to cope with the nine months earlier release date, it would eventually pay the price, given the public high demand for animated musicals after the success of “Frozen”.
