Plenty of big change coming inToy Story 4but perhaps the   most surprising   is the surprising switch - up in Andy ’s appearance for what feels like the umpteenth time . While the look of the toys   at the tenderness of theToy Storyfranchise   has mostly remained the same in their look , feel , and crusade over the years , Andy ’s appearance in theToy Story 4trailerindicated that once again , he was the one character who underwent a makeover .

As theToy Story 4trailer revealed , Andy will be popping back up during the film in what seems to be a flashback ( he ’s the same age   as in the original film and back in his very memorable bedroom ) .

What Did Andy Originally Look Like?

Andy was stick in inToy Story , the human owner of the toy - centric cast .   view it was the mid-90s and this was the first feature - length animated film , the   design of Andy count pretty sprightliness - like , with his facial features and locution cautiously recreated . The skin textures and detailing were , naturally , limited ( that ’s why the film focalize on toys in the first plaza ) . There were only slight tweaks to Andy ’s appearance   inToy chronicle 2 .

Toy Story 3 Proved Andy’s Appearance Needed to Evolve

When   Andy appear inToy tale 3 , a quite a little had changed . Of course , this persona was ten class old than when audiences had last come across him , but even accounting for that , there were noticeable adjustments made by improvements in animation . Indeed , the most notable change   were the heart , which had been tweaked to appear even more natural , and the hairsbreadth was animated for a more realistic effect ( this is one of the cardinal area of animation Disney and Pixar has greatly ameliorate over the last 20 age ) . Andy ’s skin also had more shade and color variation to it , shew freckles and redness like a unconstipated human person would have . A younger Andy take care in flashbacks had a design that nosepiece this newer take and the teenage version .

Andy’s Appearance in Toy Story 4 Is Modernized, Not Different

The designing for Andy inToy Story 4 , however , is a further footfall of this change . Not only have the animators taken advantage   of the ostensive improvement in digital invigoration   since   2010 ,   but it appears   the animators have used theToy Story 3version of Andy as the template from which to Delaware - age him back down to a young male child . As a consequence , he now looks nothing like the adaptation seen inToy Story1&2 . Some fan even speculate the male child we saw in the trailers was n’t Andy ; rather , it had to be Andy ’s son , but nothing seems to show that ( he gave thetoys to Bonnie , after all ) .
