Star Wars: Visions’ season 2 premieres at Star Wars Celebration

It’s been a minute since we last heard about Star Wars: Visions. In February, the first season of anthology animated shorts was announced. The series won’t be mainly anime-based, as was announced back in February. Instead, Star Wars: VisionsSeason 2 will have contributions from many animation studios worldwide, such as Aardham (though it is not exclusive to them).Wallace and Gromit, Chicken RunCartoon SaloonWolfwalkers).

Since that initial announcement, we haven’t heard much about the new season that’s slated to premiere on Disney Plus on May 4 (*whisper* That’s Star Wars Day). That is, until now: Disney shared the first trailer for the upcoming anthology series on Monday during this year’s Star Wars Celebration fan convention held in London, and the footage looks spectacular, hopeful, and diverse.

This trailer shows you how Volume 2 of Star Wars: Visions will differentiate itself from the first, with a variety of animation styles, from more traditional cel-based anime to CGI treatments to Aardham’s familiar stop-motion clay character aesthetic. Cartoon Saloon and Aardman will be joined in season 2, by El Guiri, 88 Pictures from India, Punkrobot from Chili, Triggerfish South Africa, Studio Mir, South Korean studio. Legend of Korra; Studio La Cachette, a French studio who animated Genndy Tartakovsky’s Primal; and D’art Shtajio, an American-owned Japanese animation studio.
