2019 is going to be an EPIC year in the theaters! I just received the 2019 Walt Disney Studios Pictures slate and I honestly can’t decide which movie I’m most excited for this year. Right now, I think it’s a three-way tie between Avengers: Endgame, Toy Story 4 and Aladdin, but every time I think I’ve got my top 3, I remember another movie that I’m equally excited about.
Which of these Disney Studios movies are you most looking forward to seeing this coming year?
