Cryptids

Cryptids ( 2026 Pixar movie)
Synopsis 
From the creators of Incredibles and Coco, a brand new fantasy coming of age adventure from Pixar: Grace Waters, apparently a normal 17 years old teenage girl on a wheelchair, actually hides a mysterious secret… under her blanket, she has a strange fishlike tail because, actually, she isn’t a human but a water Cryptid, one of many mysterious creatures like other sea creatures, Bigfoots, Chupacabras and so on, trying to fit in the human world with high school, her friends and Jason, the young guitarist she has a crush on. After losing her foster parents, she moves to a new city in Northern California where she will have to deal with her true nature and, at the same time, keep it hidden.
