The movie ‘Toy Story 4’ will premier in theaters in 2017. Read more on the story below!
‘Toy Story 4’ will be directed by John Lasseter. Lasseter is the co-founder of Pixar Animation Studios and the original director of ‘Toy Story’. He stated that the film will be a “love story” and will also pick up where ‘Toy Story 3’ left off. Lasseter says, “A lot of people in the industry view us doing sequels as being for the business of it, but for us it’s pure passion..we only make sequels when we have a story that’s as good as or better than the original..we don’t just, because of the success of a film, automatically say we’re going to do a sequel and then figure out what we’re going to do.” Walt Disney Co. chief executive officer Bob Iger said, “John created Toy Story and directed the first two films, and it’s great to have him back directing one of our most valuable properties.”
The new story was also written by the original Toy Story team. Lasseter goes on to say, “we love these characters so much; they are like family to us…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.” Anyone excited for ‘Toy Story 4’?
‘Toy Story 4’ is expected to hit theaters June, 2017.
