I love the Toy Story series. It’s a classic and an all time favorite. And…there’s another film on the way!
TO INFINITY AND BEYOND!
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.
The film is slated for release on June 16, 2017.

That’s wonderful news! I’ve always enjoyed the Toy Story movies. 🙂
I thought Toy Story 3 was “the end” so I’m curious to see how they craft a story for 4. I’m sure it will be awesome though.
Can’t wait to see what they have in store for number 4! It’s going to be amazing I’m sure.
The prior Toy Story movies are going to be hard to beat. I am so looking forward to this next installment.
This is awesome, my son is going to be so excited.
My son told me this today and I was shocked and pleased. I thought 3 was the last one.
Aww, I’m glad when sequels are made and are actually good!
Oh, I can’t wait to see what’s in store for the fourth one, how exciting!
I love these movies, I can’t wait to see it!
How much fun is this going to be? I was waiting to see if they would extend the Toy Story movies to include Bonnie in them!
I will so watch this, I have loved the Toy Story movies.
How fun! We love the entire Toy Story series.
