Basic Plot of Toy Story 4
 
http://screenrant.com/toy-story-4-plot-woody-bo-peep/

Well, THIS is surprising. I'd love it if it could somehow take place after Toy Story 3 and reunite Woody with his love. Bo Peep's absence was the only negative of TS3 for me.

TurtleTitan97 08-14-2015 03:45 PM

Sweet, I'm in. Just hope the story is as good TS3.

TheSkeletonMan939 08-14-2015 03:48 PM

Man, I was hoping they wouldn't do this.

Doesn't bringing back characters like her totally ruin the whole point of Toy Story 3 that sometimes you have to move on in life?

I watched Toy Story almost every day as a kid, I love the series, but I honestly was hoping they'd have the strength to just stop with Toy Story material after Toy Story 3 so that the audience could similarly move on in life and accept that this was the last new adventure with their cinematic friends. But that obviously didn't happen...

I agree that we don't need and didn't want a Toy Story 4, but Pixar wants that sweet sweet sequel $$$$, so we're getting one. I appreciate that they are at least taking the opportunity to address what some people might have perceived as a plot hole or loose thread from Toy Story 3.

BubblyShell22 08-14-2015 04:38 PM

Not sure how I feel about this. On one hand, it would be nice to see the TS characters back again. On the other hand, I feel it's too much since we already have the specials they've made. Only time will tell if this will be a good thing.

NinjaPug 08-14-2015 05:28 PM

This seems like it could've been a TV special like Toy Story of Terror. I'd rather Pixar focus on original films instead of the 4th movie in a series. Especially when the 3rd was so great and provided closure.

CyberCubed 08-14-2015 05:41 PM

As they say, cash-cows never die. They would rather run something into the ground then bow out gracefully when they're on top.

Leofan26 08-14-2015 10:22 PM

Meh, I'd have rathered them ended the series with Andy. Though I have to admit I am happy Woody will have himself a good ending, I was sad he was alone in the end :(

I am curious how the story will be done, they said Bo has changed since the second film I guess. I'll check it out.

Toy Story 4: The Quest for More Money.

MsMarvelDuckie 08-14-2015 11:15 PM

No, no, no. That's Spaceballs 2! Even Yogurt said so.

MikeandRaph87 08-14-2015 11:21 PM

Why not have the girl's mom find Bo Peep at a garage sale and give it to her daughter for Christmas and it turn out to be THE Bo Peep? That way no need for a sequel just for this and the loose end will be met with a happily ever after. I know, I know...

Wildcat 08-15-2015 12:19 AM

Hmm, was hoping it'd be a more traditional sequel. What about a prequel with young Andy and how all the toys became friends before Buzz came. That would have been cute.

Yet again a lot of people wanna complain and call it a cash-in. It's not like Disney Pixar isn't making anything else. There's only been 3 Toy Story movies within 2 decades.

Then TMNT is a cash-in too. Multiple incarnations spanning 30 years. Seriously what's allowed to be a long time franchise and what isn't?

Slade 08-15-2015 12:37 AM

I love Toy Story. My 5 year old loves Toy Story.

While I'm not sure about this story, I'm all for more of the gang.

drgon78 08-15-2015 06:04 AM

So what be so wrong for them to be with the little girl instead of Andy. I am not a fan of prequels unless only part of this movie is a flashback.

sdp 08-15-2015 10:04 PM

I didn't like Toy Story 3, it's alright but many of the things people love it for where already done in previous movies like The Brave Little Toaster. Toy Story 2 is also alright. Don't get me wrong they're both fine movies but the only stand out film is the original. I would've preferred the original concept for Toy Story 3 which was about Buzz being recalled:

People acted like it would've been terrible because it was a Disney film instead of Pixar but in hindsight nearly ten years later we can now see that Disney can make some great movies on their own and Pixar can make some great stinkers by themselves as well. I mean even when TS3 was announced by Pixar people were whining about how now that Disney owned Pixar they were forcing them to make a third film.

I do think these new movies will have a subtitle and won't be "TS4" etc. They probably want to brand to continue for many years so they'll stop numbering them and people who grew up with the originals will be ok that "their" trilogy is still intact. I'm sure all upcoming TS movies will be fine since they know it's Pixar's most iconic IP. I'd be more concerned with the other sequels like Finding Dori and the Incredibles.

I was hoping the sequal would have been about Woody's past life with Andy's dad, maybe the next one if we get another :(

This way it wouldn't count as a sequal, it'd be a prequel instead. New characters, no Buzz sadly for Buzz fans :o

New plot, ending would be kind of depressing though since we know Andy's dad leaves for whatever reason and hands him down to his son.

With that, I guess Buzz won't get much to do this film besides being Woody's go to guy, go to him for advice on romance but you'd think Woody would be fine on his own with that :P

It will be weird not seeing the others though. Still, really looking forward to Woody x Bo plot myself.

sdp 08-16-2015 12:16 PM

Toy Story is Woody and Buzz. You aren't going to get a movie with only one of them.

ranger_scout 08-16-2015 01:11 PM

I did not think there needed to be a fourth film since the third one wrapped up everything so perfectly. However, I am actually still going to see this because it is a stand-alone sequel. Also, Bo Peep did not get a proper goodbye in the third film, so I am curious to know what has become of her and I am excited to watch her and Woody revisit their relationship.

ZariusTwo 10-08-2015 11:55 AM

The movie has now been bumped to June 15th 2018, Cars 3 will now take it's slot

Entertainment Weekly says that we are going to learn about Bo Peep's backstory. The relationship between her and Woody in this film is actually inspired by director John Lasseter's marriage.

NinjaPug 06-18-2016 01:35 PM

This is the best part of that article:

Quote:

As of earlier in 2016, EW learned that at least the next four films following The Incredibles 2 were all originals, but take that with a grain of CGI salt. Pixar’s signature story-building process takes years, and the studio has been known to shelve a tale if it simply doesn’t captivate. (R.I.P., Newt.)

TheSkeletonMan939 06-18-2016 01:37 PM

Ah man. I have nothing against Bo Peep but her absence would be a lot more powerful if... you know... she stayed absent from the series.

Shark_Blade 06-18-2016 07:33 PM

Bo Peep is my fave after Woody, so this definitely interests me.

I hope the 4th one is better than boring Toy Story 3 though.

CyberCubed 06-18-2016 09:35 PM

Toy Story is the rare movie franchise that has never had a bad movie. I like Toy Story 2 and 3 almost as much as the first one.

However this 4th movie has me worried. The series ended perfectly with 3 and I feel another movie is just pointless. I don't want to see the Toy Story franchise tarnished by excessive movies and see it run into the ground like so many other movie franchises. I understand Disney wants to keep the brand alive but they continue making 22 minute shorts instead.

drgon78 06-19-2016 06:41 AM

As long as this one takes place at the home of the little girl at the end of the 3rd one and doesn't get rid of the characters introduced in that one.

That bit of insight makes me less skeptical about this movie.

T-U-R-T-L-E POWA! 06-19-2016 05:46 PM

I always thought a good plot of TS4 would be to have Andy all grown up and then realizing he should have never gotten rid of his toys and trying to go on a mission to collect them all back together. I'm watching this regardless but man 3 had a perfect ending. Even though it pretty much makes me want to cry every time I watch it. LOL!

I'm all for new Pixar films but I'm probably looking the most forward to the new Incredibles more than anything.

Spike Spiegel 06-20-2016 08:24 AM

In all these years, I never realized that Annie Potts was the voice of Bo Peep.

Nah, that wouldn't work. It would completely go against the point of TS3 - which is about letting go - and would put the focus on Andy instead of on the toys.

Well I think the idea of "letting go" is already pretty much shot from a Pixar perspective. LOL! I totally understand what you're saying though.

Release date pushed back to June 21st 2019. The original release date will now be taken by Incredibles II

The film is still on track for a release on June 21, 2019.

Annie Potts, who will be reprising her role as the voice of Bo Peep, revealed that about three-quarters of the script had to be thrown out and rewritten. She also went on to say that her feelings were hurt a little bit when she didn't get to do the third film, but Lassester assured her that they were saving her for a fourth film.

NinjaPug 06-11-2018 06:14 PM

So Lasseter was planning on making a 4th movie before finishing the 3rd? I wish Lasseter had been ousted sooner so he couldn't push for this 4th movie.

I really don't think this film needed to happen because the third one ended things so perfectly. However, Disney and Pixar have stated that this is more of a stand-alone movie and not a direct continuation of the third film. Bo Peep is also a beloved character and many fans were saddened that she only appeared during Andy's home videos in Toy Story 3 and then suddenly just disappeared.

ranger_scout 09-30-2018 12:32 PM

Just recently, Tim Allen compared this film to Avengers Infinity War.

Quote:

"Yes. I can't believe it," Allen said. "I gotta resist getting emotional because I don't wanna give it away but this is an incredibly great story. If you're at all a big superhero fan, Infinity War - I'm a big superhero fan - that didn't seem like it was going to work [but[ it was a lot of vignettes that all made sense. This Toy Story 4 [did that]. We've only been through it once, there will be several more incantations, but it is so emotional, it's so funny, it's so big the idea that they've come up with. I'm startled. 3 I thought was amazing. This one, I couldn't even get through the last scene, okay?"

Unfortunately, Allen couldn't reveal any more information than that, keeping the story of Toy Story 4 under lock and key.

"I'd love to be a Washington leaker, but I just can't do it," he said. "I can't give it any more away. They've got great characters, but a couple of the scenes towards the end were really hard to get through."
