The 2008 co-production between Walt Disney and Pixar is among the 66 films to be featured on the festival's screening list. More films will be announced soon.

"WALL-E", about a robot designed to clean up a waste-blanketed future Earth, won an Oscar for Best Animated Feature Film. It wasn't officially released in the Chinese mainland.

Elsewhere on the screening list, "Finding Mr. Right", "Man of Tai Chi" and "Apart Together" are among the Chinese headliners.

The 4th annual Beijing International Film Festival will run from April 16 to 24. An international jury led by Chinese filmmaker John Woo will decide winners for the Tiantan Awards, which are named after Tiantan, or the Temple of Heaven, one of Beijing's historical landmarks.
