== Trailer Plot ==
Parks people always have fun at them going on playgrounds, playing sports and all that fun stuff unless if you think spending playing video games in your life but anyways people are really not friendly to us crows by injuring us or even killing us but I have the biggest plan us crows have thought of and I need lots of crows to help me with the plan. We need to stop these creature mammals hurting us. Who's with me?
== Production ==
It was announced after the release of 2011's Cars 2 saying that we have planned a film about crows. In late 2011 it was known as untitled pixar crow film. In 2012 Pixar gave us more info on the film saying that it will be about crows trying to stop the humans injuring them. In July 2012 it was going to be called A Crow Movie and would be release in 4 or 5 years maybe even 6. In October 2012 the name was scrapped due to its being to original and kind of a Cars name rip off so it was changed to The Crow Plan and set to release sometime 2016. In 2013 production started with designing and scripting. Then came animating and casting. As years past by the cast was announced including Bill Hader as the main crow (Joe). In 2015 things started to take shape by adding finishing touches on the trailer on April 2016 and the trailer was released in May 2016 with Trailer 2 in mid August 2016. In late 2014 the animated short Luxo Jr 2 for the film started.

== Rating's ==
As it had advance screening's on July 9 2016 in certain countries some reviews are here
IMDB - 8.2/10
The Crow Plan is one of those classic good animation Pixar films. The short Luxo Jr 2 also went back to 1986. The characters are also fantastic! The only flaw is that some scenes are not really aimed for younger children.
Rotten Tomatos - 96%
Like most Pixar films we had gave them in the 90's or 80's and this is one of them. The background animation is fantastic. Characters are great and animation of them are really detailed. Also the short just driven people back to the 1980's when the original Luxo Jr was released. However some scenes are not for children with adult humour and horror movie references but that is like most Pixar films.
== Events ==
* Joe air balloon at 2016 Macy's Thanksgiving Parade
* Meet Pete Doctor (one of the 3 directors) at Westfield Whitford City and Westfield Albany
* Cast Visit at Event Cinemas Morley Australia and Ace Cinemas at Garden State NJ
* First ever Pixar Fest at Broome Western Australia
== Sequel ==
In June 23 2016 Pete Doctor said I and everyone else would love to make a Crow Plan 2 but Pixar would not allow another sequel after The Incredibles 2 (2019) possibly we could release a Crow Plan 2 in 2021 and I know that is a long way but Joe and his friends will hopefully seek a new adventure.
In July 2 2016 John Lasseter said that The Crow Plan 2 is set for Summer 2020 in US and Winter 2020 for Australia, The team is excited for a sequel to come BUT this will be the final Pixar sequel for a while so no Wall-e 2 Up 2 or Inside Out 2 in production or will be release YET.
