Walt Disney Studios has made some adjustments to their upcoming release calendar as well as a few reveals.

First up is the previously dated Magic Camp, which was set for an April 6, 2018 release and is now unset from the calendar completely. The film stars Adam Devine, Gillian Jacobs and Emmy and Golden Globe winner Jeffrey Tambor. It centers on a summer camp for aspiring young magicians with Devine as Andy, a former camper whose flailing career as a magician has forced him to return to the camp as a counselor.

Next up is another previously-announced “Untitled Disney Fairy Tale” with the long-anticipated adaptation of Artemis Fowl set to arrive on August 9, 2019. Kenneth Branagh signed on to direct the film back in 2015.
