By November 2012, Newton was slated to direct an untitled Pixar feature film, with Derek Connolly writing the screenplay.{{cite magazine|last=Sneider|first=Jeff|title=Connolly: College partnership leads to 'Guaranteed' success|url=https://www.variety.com/article/VR1118062700|accessdate=November 29, 2012|magazine=Variety|date=November 29, 2012|quote=After Sundance, Connolly moved up to Emeryville to work at Pixar, where he's writing an untitled project for Teddy Newton (Day and Night). 'It's totally different, the way they do things up here. You're here everyday. You don't go away for three months and come up with a script. You're involved with a director and it's very collaborative.' The Pixar gang also told him 'not to dumb it down or treat animation like it's for kids.'}}

In November 2018, it was announced that Newton would direct Sneaks.{{Cite web|url=http://www.animationmagazine.net/features/pixar-vet-teddy-newton-laces-up-for-animated-sneaks-movie/|title=Pixar Vet Teddy Newton Laces Up for Animated Sneaks Movie|last=Zahed|first=Ramin|date=November 9, 2018|website=Animation Magazine|access-date=February 14, 2019}} However, in June 2021, he was replaced by Rob Edwards.{{cite magazine|last=Tangcay|first=Jazz|title=Rob Edwards to Make Directorial Debut With Animated Feature 'Sneaks' (EXCLUSIVE)|date=June 3, 2021|magazine=Variety|url=https://variety.com/2021/artisans/news/rob-edwards-directorial-debut-animated-feature-sneaks-1234988139/|accessdate=October 17, 2024}}
