Toy Story 4 is an upcoming American computer animated comedy film, the fourth installment in the Toy Story series, and the sequel to Toy Story 3 (2010). It is produced by Pixar Animation Studios, and will be released by Walt Disney Pictures. It is being directed by Josh Cooley, and executive-produced by John Lasseter, director of Toy Story (1995) and Toy Story 2 (1999).

The film continues from Toy Story 3, where Sheriff Woody (Tom Hanks) and Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen), among other toys, have found new appreciation after being given by college-bound Andy to toddler Bonnie. However, when they are introduced to Forky (Tony Hale), a spork that has been made into a toy, Woody and Buzz lead him on a road trip to show him what it is like to be a toy. The story was conceived by Lasseter, Pete Docter, Andrew Stanton, and Lee Unkrich.[2] In addition to Hanks and Allen, the movie will feature returning cast members, including Annie Potts and Joan Cusack reprising their respective roles from previous films as Bo Peep and Jessie. New additions include Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele.

The film is set to be released in theaters on June 21, 2019, in RealD 3D, Dolby Cinema, and IMAX 3D.

Premise

When Bonnie introduces Forky, a handmade toy made from a spork, who has an existential crisis, wanting to be spork, not a toy, Woody and the gang set off on a road trip adventure to help him understand how to be a toy. Along the way, they discover how big the world can really be for toys- and find Bo Peep.[3][4]

Voice cast

Main article: List of Toy Story characters

Don Rickles was originally set to reprise his role as the voice of Mr. Potato Head; however, he died on April 6, 2017,[18] and his representative confirmed that he had not recorded any lines for the film.[19]

Production

In a 2010 interview, Unkrich stated that Pixar was not planning a fourth film after Toy Story 3, but also that he was "flattered that people ask about it—it reminds me how much people love the characters, but it was really important to me with this film that we not just create another sequel, that it not just be another appendage coming off of the other two... there may be opportunities for Woody and Buzz in the future, but we don't have any plans for anything right now."[20] Tom Hanks and Tim Allen were signed on tentatively to provide the voices of Woody and Buzz; Hanks stated the following year that he believed Pixar was working on a sequel.[6][21] Rumors arose that Toy Story 4 was in production and slated for release in 2015, but Disney denied these rumors in February 2013, stating "nothing is official."[22]

Toy Story 4 was officially announced by Disney during an investor's call on November 6, 2014.[23] Lasseter, then studio head of Pixar, was scheduled to direct after writing a film treatment with Stanton, with extra input from Docter and Unkrich. Rashida Jones and Will McCormack joined as writers, with Galyn Susman returning as a producer from Ratatouille.[24] Lasseter explained that Pixar decided to produce the sequel because of their "pure passion" for the series, and that the film would be a love story.[25] Lasseter felt that "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."[26]

In March 2015, Pixar president Jim Morris described the film as a romantic comedy, and stated that it would not be a continuation of the third film but a separate story from it.[27][28] The same month, Variety reported that Cooley was named co-director, having previously been head of story on Inside Out.[29] According to Lasseter, the film was kept so secret that even Morris and his boss Edwin Catmull had no knowledge of it until the treatment was finished, stressing that "we do not do any sequel because we want to print money" but rather to tell a new story in the same universe.[30]

Lasseter stated at D23 Expo 2015 that the film would focus on Woody's relationship with Bo Peep, and involved him and Buzz going on a journey to find her.[31] Hanks stated in May 2016 that he had finished recording his first lines for Woody.[5][32]

At D23 Expo 2017, Lasseter announced he was stepping down and leaving Cooley as sole director, saying he could no longer commit to directing the film between his positions at Pixar, Walt Disney Animation Studios, and Disneytoon Studios.[33][34] Jones and McCormack withdrew from the film in November 2017, citing “philosophical differences”.[35] On January 18, 2018, it was announced that the film would be written by Stephany Folsom, who rewrote three quarters of Jones and McCormack's original script according to Potts in June 2018.[36][37]

By September 28, 2018, recording for the film had ended. Tim Allen said that the film's story was "so emotional" that he "couldn’t even get through the last scene".[38] Similarly, Tom Hanks said that the film's ending scene was "a moment in history".[39]

Casting

Most of the previous voice actors, including Hanks and Allen, signed on to reprise their past voices.

Comedian Tony Hale was cast as Forky, a homemade toy suffering an existential crisis. Hale has performed roles before with similar panicked characters, notably Buster Bluth on Arrested Development and Gary Walsh on Veep. Hale said, when asked to voice Forky, "A utensil’s existential crisis? I’m in!".[40] Comedians Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele were cast as a pair of carnival prize plushies, Ducky and Bunny, respectively. Cooley said that while they brought them on to provide some improvised comedy to the film, "they were story motivated which elevated Ducky and Bunny and the film to a level I never could have expected".[41]

Music

Randy Newman, who composed and wrote songs for the previous three films, was confirmed to be returning at D23 Expo 2015.[42][1]

Release

The film was originally scheduled for theatrical release on June 16, 2017,[23] but was pushed back to June 15, 2018, being replaced by Cars 3.[43] It was later delayed again to June 21, 2019 while its 2018 date was given to Incredibles 2, which was further along in production.[44] The film will also be shown in IMAX theatres.[45]

Toy Story 4 will be one of the first new films to be released on Disney+ alongside Frozen 2 and The Lion King.[46]

Marketing

The first teaser poster was revealed at D23 Expo 2015 alongside the first posters for Cars 3 and Incredibles 2.[47] Pixar screened early footage of the film at CineEurope 2018.[48] The first teaser trailer which introduced Forky, as well as its voice actor Tony Hale, along with the official teaser poster, was released on November 12, 2018.[49] A "teaser reaction" video, introducing the characters of Ducky and Bunny, voiced by Key and Peele in a parody of their recurring Key & Peele skit "The Valets", was released the following day.
