Toy Story 4
Toy Story 4director Josh Cooley explains why the motion-picture show is no longer just a sexual love story . When Pixar ’s sequel was first announce back in 2014 , it was said to be a romantic - comedy centering aroundWoody and Buzz Lightyear ’s journey to come up Bo Peep(who has not been seen onscreen since 1999’sToy fib 2 ) . However , the film went through substantial originative changes in the year since , most notablydiscarding much of the original script by Rashida Jones and Will McCormack . Though more recently , it ’s been fluid sailing on theToy Story 4front and the movie is on class for its premiere this June .
Marketing materials have sustain that whileBo is inToy Story 4 , the moving-picture show itself is barely the previously reported read-only storage - com . The entire conception of the sequel has been reworked to be more of an existential tarradiddle about Woody trying to figure out his place in the world . He ’s always mat a toy dog ’s only business is to be there for their kid ( soundness he tries to pass on on newcomer Forky ) , but crossing paths with a dramatically different Bo challenge Woody ’s long - hold up belief . Toy Story 4looks to be as excited as its predecessor , and ideally the narrative changes will make it a better film .

Screen Rant attended a pressing conference during theToy Story 4press daytime at Pixar , where Cooley was asked about how the film changed during its development , which increase its scale and scope :
" Well , with Bo being back in the picture , Woody and Bo have this relationship from the previous film . And so there ’s in spades an element of that , but it was clear that could n’t just be that ; it would become a petite mass movie as oppose to a Toy Story celluloid . So there ’s a ton of risky venture in it . And I kind of think of it , like … Raiders of the Lost Ark is n’t a love story , but it has that great romantic element in it . So I kind of think of it more like that . "
The melodic theme of bringing Bo back always sounded enceinte on - paper ( giving the role a proper resolution ) , but the fixed storage - com theme felt somewhat confutative . honestly , that seemed like a better scene for one of Disney ’s ongoingToy StoryTV specials rather than something that want to be made for the gravid screen door . As Cooley says , there ’s still a love element inToy Story 4since Woody and Bo are back together after being separated for a long time , but it ’s only one piece of a much turgid puzzle . The finished film predict to be a thematically rich and touching body of work thatgives the enfranchisement the right end it merit . In Pixar ’s eyes , Woody has always been the champion of the series , and there was at least one more chapter before his arc was double-dyed .
Toy Story 4was always a risky suggestion given how perfect a sendoff the third installment was . Of course , nobody understand that more than the hoi polloi of Pixar , and they deserve credit for realizing what they initially had was n’t fully working and needed to be polish . It would be a terrible pity ifToy Story 4couldn’t endure up to the property ’s legacy , possibly ending the franchise on a sour musical note . The final verdict there wo n’t come in until the flick is let go of , but the promotional military campaign is for sure teasing a worthwhile installment that ’ll have audience reaching for their tissues . If Tom Hanks and Tim Allen had fuss tape their final scenes , viewers may be in for something rightfully limited .
