To Infinity And Beyond! Toy Story 4 Officially Coming 2017!

Nearly two decades after Pixar Animation Studios created the world’s first computer-animated feature film with “Toy Story,” it revealed plans for Disney•Pixar’s Toy Story 4,”an adventure that returns audiences to the world of the studio’s signature characters.

John Lasseter, director of the original “Toy Story” and “Toy Story 2,” will direct the film, which opens a new chapter in the lives of Woody, Buzz Lightyear and the “Toy Story” gang. The story was dreamt up by Lasseter, Andrew Stanton, Pete Docter and Lee Unkrich, the storytellers who have been the driving force behind all three “Toy Story” films.

“We love these characters so much; they are like family to us,” said Lasseter. “We don’t want to do anything with them unless it lives up to or surpasses what’s gone before. ‘Toy Story 3’ ended Woody and Buzz’s story with Andy so perfectly that for a long time, we never even talked about doing another ‘Toy Story’ movie. But when Andrew, Pete, Lee and I came up with this new idea, I just could not stop thinking about it. It was so exciting to me, I knew we had to make this movie—and I wanted to direct it myself.”

Writing team Rashida Jones and Will McCormack (“Celeste and Jesse Forever”) joined the project, and Pixar veteran Galyn Susman (ABC’s “Toy Story OF TERROR!” and “Toy Story that Time Forgot”) is producing.

Are you surprised with this announcement? We’re not looking over the history of film franchises majority of those that ended with announcing the end of the road have come back several years later be it a follow up film or a reboot. Toy  Story 3 left everyone’s heart strings on a razor edge and there was always an inkling the story wasn’t over and after the success of the short films the inevitable was going to happen. It’s going to be a battle as the American release coincides with Despicable Me 3 and How To Train Your Dragon 3 both animation franchise of the highest quality, but this is Disney Pixar franchise, enough said!

Toy Story 4 is slated for release in the US on June 16, 2017. UK release date TBC
